On this latest episode of The Shape of Work Podcast, our guests talk about the onboarding process and the challenges they faced during their journey.

"Constructive curiosity is super important. You don't get everything from standard secondary information. And if you don't find people who are willing to get out of their chairs, go to the market, talk to people, that is a challenge that has to be coached."
