An Update About Business Movers | 6

0:15Hey there, Lindsey Graham here. And no, not that Lindsey Graham, but you probably know that already because you're listening to this special episode of Business Movers. And that means you're very likely a member of the regular Business Movers audience. And if you are, I have some sad news. This is the last episode. After four and a half years, 50 seasons, and almost 250 episodes, we're drawing the curtain on the show. I really enjoyed making Business Movers and believed in it completely. Every episode focused on a real human facing a real problem and dealing with it in a way that can teach a real business lesson.

0:49We sought to bring a strong, narrative-forward approach to business storytelling. I'll miss it. But if you enjoyed Business Movers, you'll probably also love Business Wars, a podcast hosted by my friend David Brown. They look at the world of business through the lens of competition. This versus that. Them versus us. David versus Goliath. Or sometimes Goliath versus Super Goliath. It's great storytelling, and you'll learn a lot. But before you head straight over there, I want to take a moment to thank the team behind Business Movers. It was shepherded into existence by Stephen Walters, until then William Simpson grabbed the reins.

1:24This year, Scott Reeves took over as showrunner. Each brought exceptional talent and insight to the show, both sustaining and improving it. Then there's the team at Wondery, including executive producers Aaron O 'Flaherty, Marshall Louis, and Jenny Lauer-Beckman. But also all the folks in marketing, sales, operations, and more that believed in the show and made it possible in the first place. We've had fantastic writers, including Ruben Abrams-Brosby, Alex Burns, Alexander Curry-Buckner, Emma Dibdin, Michael Federico, Joe Guerra, Joe Ginto, Cody Hoffmuckle, Owen Nichols, and Austin Rackless. And here at my company, Airship, Molly Bach, Derek Behrens, Emily Burke, Matt Filler, Gabriel Gould, and Jake Sampson all worked to make sure the episodes sounded great and came in on time.

2:08For the last 240 weeks, every week, this team has put out a brand new, highly produced 40-minute episode. As for me, I'm not going anywhere. Listen to my other podcasts, American History Tellers, American Scandal, and History Daily. None of them are business podcasts per se, but as I hope you learned in this show, and to paraphrase President Calvin Coolidge, the business of America is business. If you study history like I do in these other podcasts, then you know that commerce, economics, industry, labor, and certainly money and power are all critical forces. And who knows what the future holds?

So while it's disappointing to be at the end of Business Movers, I can walk away grateful to have been on this journey with you, To have hopefully made you think, made you thrill, made you laugh even. To have given you new tools, new ideas, and kept you company on your walks or through your chores or during commutes or carpools or wherever you listened. Thanks for inviting me into your lives. And remember that, whatever business you're in, whatever you're facing, there's always a new episode next week.
