So, You Think You Want to Be a CEO?

Everyone wants the title. Almost no one is ready for the truth behind it. This is a News24 podcast series for people who build things – and for those who want to understand what leadership actually costs. Hosted by Bruce Whitfield, each episode is an unfiltered conversation with people who have sat in the chair: founders, executives, disruptors and industry leaders who have faced the pressure, responsibility and personal contradictions that come with running something bigger than themselves.

Presented by News24, in partnership with Discovery Bank. Fresh episodes are released every Tuesday morning.
