Under NDA
Under NDA is an unfiltered podcast about the hilarious, shocking, and all-too-relatable moments from inside every day jobs and corporate life. Under NDA is a podcast about turning the most head-shaking workplace moments into something we can learn (and laugh) from. Each week, we host a guest to unpack unbelievable, but all-too-relatable, stories with us so that we can all lead better, work smarter, and build healthier teams and companies. Why we’re excited to share this with the world: It’s a love letter to every fellow professional who’s ever wondered, “How did that just happen?” We keep everything anonymous so we can focus on the takeaways, not the takedowns. Each story we discuss focuses on bringing a positive spin to absurd and crazy corporate moments, with conversations around what great leadership could look like in the same situation.
