Hosted by The Capital Chart Room, Bigger Than Business moves past spreadsheets and strategy to explore the core motivation that drives people to build something of their own. This isn't a theoretical discussion; each episode is built around a candid conversation with a business owner from somewhere around the globe.

The focus here is on the human element behind the enterprise, examining how a clear sense of purpose becomes both a compass during uncertainty and a source of resilience. For anyone building a career, leading a team, or marketing a vision, this podcast offers a rare look at the intersection of personal values and professional execution. Tune in for authentic stories that reveal how understanding the "why" behind the work can shape a more meaningful and enduring path forward, proving that a venture's impact is often about much more than its bottom line.
