About This Podcast

Though produced by KBR, this series is for anyone and everyone, inside or outside our business. We speak to some of the world’s foremost experts about the great challenges facing humankind today and about solutions to those challenges — what they are, how they work, the people who are creating them, and why they’re important for people like YOU!

 

That’s because whatever the topic, our main focus is people. Our goal is to connect, educate, inform and inspire.
