Executive Edgecast with Margaret Bouse — founder of Sopra Solutions — is built for leaders who want practical, real-world ways to grow their businesses and sharpen their leadership teams. Each episode delivers clear, actionable insights you can actually use — no theory, no motivational sugar, just moves that work.
Every conversation features a battle-tested subject matter expert: leaders who have scaled small and mid-sized businesses, rescued failing go-to-market strategies, tightened operations, and led teams through real growth and change. These are people who’ve done the work — not just talked about it.
You’ll hear how they really did it: the questions they asked, the levers they pulled, what they cut, and what they would repeat every time. The result is the kind of conversation you forward to your leadership team and say, “Watch this — let’s do this.”
If an episode gives you even one move you can use, don’t let it die in your headphones. Subscribe and share it with the partners, leaders, and rising talent helping you build what’s next.
