Outstanding content. A must listen for anyone interested in boards.
Possibly the best free source for boards who are serious about their continuous development.
The contributors are at the top of their game; all are on boards or are serving boards. I can't find this concentration of breadth and depth with the insights into the inner workings of boards anywhere else. Highly recommend.
Really interesting content.
