Secrets of the C-Suite: The Podcast

Susan Sutherland and Juliet Clothier host this biweekly show that does something most executive podcasts struggle with — it makes C-suite life feel genuinely human. Now in its third season with 32 episodes, the format alternates between structured guest interviews and looser "Unplugged" episodes where Susan and Juliet talk through topics like burnout, career pivots, and retirement without a script. That mix keeps the show from falling into a predictable rhythm. The guest roster spans media executives, crisis management experts, nonprofit leaders, and entrepreneurs, giving the show a wider aperture than the typical CEO-interviews-another-CEO format. What listeners consistently mention is the humor and humility the hosts bring — these are two people who've actually sat in executive chairs and can laugh about the absurdities while still taking the real challenges seriously. The 4.6-star rating from 10 reviews reflects a small but loyal audience that clearly feels seen by the content. Recent episodes featuring leaders like Pippa Parfait tackle the practical side of executive life without pretending that every decision is a masterclass. If you're in the C-suite or heading there and you want a show that acknowledges leadership is messy, complicated, and sometimes funny, this one's worth your time. The Unplugged episodes in particular offer the kind of honest reflection you rarely hear on business podcasts.
