O PodiCasti
Why building a business is so hard, and why that is the point
The three hosts with no guest, closing the second season. Lucien talks about the four years he spent in Argentina restructuring operations, Bortoletto about building a business in Portugal and Lúcio about the United States. Along the way: the difference between speed and haste, the power of silence in a negotiation, and what changes when you become a father.
