About this Podcast:
A weekly podcast on business, leadership, and human decision-making — told from Kyiv, Ukraine, a city at war and in constant transformation.A decade in corporate environments across 12 countries, plus years of entrepreneurship, taught me one thing: numbers are never the full story.

This is where I unpack those patterns, through the lens of wartime economy, leadership, and everyday life on the ground in Ukraine.Get to know me → https://www.ishkraba.com/links
