Unbehaved
Like if your funniest friend, your therapist, and a researcher who's interviewed more than 1,000 leaders about making business better for all walked into a bar…and started a podcast.
So many of us have followed the playbook. We've done everything "right." And yet, we're left feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, unseen, and wondering if this is all there is.
Sound familiar? Then Unbehaved is for you.
Hosted by Meghan French Dunbar, best-selling author of "This Isn't Working" and resident instigator who refuses to let you settle for fine—Unbehaved throws the old playbook out the window and builds a new one. Sometimes that means a conversation with a pioneering leader who refused to follow the status quo. Sometimes it's Meghan going deep on the research, stories, and ideas the old playbook doesn't want you to hear.
No matter what, this show will make you feel less alone, think differently about work, and give you the permission slip to stop following rules that were never built for you.
Because business-as-usual clearly isn't working and behaving hasn't gotten us anywhere. It's now time to unlearn. Unhustle. Unsettle. Unmold. Uncomply. Unsacrifice. Unoverwhelm. Unexhaust.
It's time to Unbehave.
