About this podcast

Your BS detector isn't broken — corporate culture just trained you to ignore it. Circle Back Club is the podcast for anyone who has ever suspected the problem isn’t us. Aparna and Lars name what's broken at work, back it up with receipts, and build real power with workers who are done performing. No productivity hacks. No personal brand advice. Just honest analysis and a community ready to change the status quo. New episodes weekly.
