Politely Pushy with Eric Chemi
Eric Chemi
Tech guru and veteran CNBC and Bloomberg journalist Eric Chemi takes on modern business and what it takes to break through from a journalist’s perspective. It’s all about being assertive (!!) in a way that wins friends and nurtures relationships – what we at Bospar have branded “Politely Pushy”. From CEOs, founders and investors, to IT experts, luminaries, and other interesting sorts, Eric delivers straight talk in a relaxed “let’s have coffee” conversation that’s interesting, fast-paced, and fun.
