About the Podcast
There are more than 30 million businesses in the United States today. Within ten years, nearly 70% will disappear. In a century, fewer than half of one percent will remain."
With these statistics in mind, what separates companies that endure from those that fade?
The Long Game Podcast, hosted by bestselling* author and award-winning entrepreneur Eric Becker, Founder and Co-Chairman of Cresset, explores the leaders and ideas behind institutions built to last.
Inspired by Eric’s book of the same name, the series examines how early traction becomes lasting relevance, and how leaders navigate the decisions that shape companies for generations.
