CLEVELAND (PRWEB)
October 30, 2019

The management consulting firm Indigo Anchor today announced the scheduled launch of The Indigo Podcast, which is set to launch on Apple Podcasts and other podcast streaming platforms Nov. 4, 2019. The Indigo Podcast will offer proven tools in the areas of management, leadership, human resources, organizational behavior, dealing with change, organizational culture, hiring, process improvement, organizational agility, and related topics in a refreshing, irreverent format.

The podcast will feature co-hosts Ben Baran—co-founder and principal of Indigo Anchor, assistant professor of management at Cleveland State University, and commander in the U.S. Navy Reserve—and Chris Everett, co-founder and principal of Indigo Anchor, longtime management consultant and business owner, and officer in the U.S. Army National Guard.

“When we started Indigo Anchor in 2018, we knew we would be a different kind of management consulting firm,” said Everett. “We would not be interested in fancy suits, not interested in churning out reports that were unhinged from real change. Nor would we be interested in peddling the latest organizational pop psychology. Outside of our consulting practice, we wanted to offer our thought leadership as an engaging self-help option and a place for community. Given that many of our clients are podcast listeners, we thought it would be a good format.”

“Our style is rather different from many of the business, management, or leadership podcasts that currently exist,” said Baran. “Most notably, we recognize that the world is messy and that solutions often require a nuanced view of reality. Most of life does not lend itself to lists of easy steps to follow or ‘silver bullets’ that fix everything. Our conversations, therefore, are relatively in-depth. And while we often provide perspectives and evidence-based ideas that our listeners will find immediately useful, our overall goal is to help our listeners think, learn, and maybe even laugh a little.”

The Indigo Podcast will bring a unique spin to the category of business podcasts by:

• 
  providing an antidote or counterpoint to the ever-increasing overly simplistic reductionist approaches to work and life
• bridging the gap between social science and management practice
• promoting the flourishing of people and organizations
• feeding the curiosity of people who want to make the world a better place through work
• inspiring listeners to become lifelong learners and bold difference-makers

The Indigo Podcast will be available starting Nov. 4, 2019 on iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Spotify, GooglePlay, Stitcher, TuneIn, and Castbox.
