Square Stories
At SquarePlanet, we believe insightful, impactful stories should be shared and celebrated. That’s why we created Square Stories, which takes a deep dive into what makes amazing individuals in business tick. The podcast very much follows the structure of its namesake — every episode covers four distinct sides of each guest. So come along for the ride as our founder and CEO Brian Burkhart gets the inside scoop about where our guests came from, where they are now, what they’ve learned along the way and what’s on the horizon.
