Bourbon in the boardroom Blog
We may not be your cup of tea, but we might be your shot of whiskey. 🥃
Bourbon in the Boardroom is a leadership podcast for founders, executives, and operators who are done with polished talking points.
Each episode, host William Hagood pulls up a chair with leaders who have actually built something: companies, teams, portfolios, and cultures. We talk about the decisions that kept them up at night, the mistakes that cost them money, and the lessons they wish someone had told them sooner.
No scripts. No fluff. Just honest conversations about leadership, growth, and what it really takes to run the room.
New episodes pour the first and third Wednesday of every month.
Pour something good and pull up a chair.
