It's been an exciting year for us here at the Business Learning Institute, for a number of reasons.
Near the top of the list is the fact that we launched a new podcast this year. We call it "Future-Proof," and here's why we launched it.
Accounting is, by definition, a rear-view mirror profession. We spend most of our time looking back — accounting for what has happened. If we want to remain relevant in a world of constant change, we have to change. We’ve got to start looking through the windshield. We must become future-ready.
The podcast is designed to share the trends you need to watch, the skills you need to learn to remain relevant going forward, and the resources that will help future-proof your career. Most important, it allows us to talk with some of the most influential people in the profession, who offer their insights into what the profession has to do to get ready for tomorrow.
We had some great, insightful conversations this year. And here's a list of the 10 most popular "Future-Proof" podcasts of 2018.
Give 'em a listen, then join us in 2019 for a full year of game-changing conversations.
