The Blue Owl Group's "Winging It" Podcast
The "Winging It" podcast is an engaging audio series hosted by seasoned experts from The Blue Owl Group. Everyone's got a story about "winging it" - those uncharted, universal moments we all face – when there’s no playbook, no mentor on speed dial, just your instincts and sheer determination to guide you. On Winging It, we’ll talk to top policymakers, civil society leaders, and tech trailblazers who've been there — and lived to tell the tale. At a time when technology, global democracies, and leadership face unprecedented challenges, we'll explore how today's decision-makers navigate uncertainty, take bold risks, and, yes, sometimes just have to wing it.
