The C-Suite Framework

Jennifer Geary has been a COO, a CRO, and a bestselling author, and she brings all of that operational experience to a podcast that systematically maps out what different C-suite roles actually look like from the inside. The C-Suite Framework takes a structural approach — episodes are organized around specific executive functions like Operations, Risk, People, and Sustainability — which gives the show a useful architecture that most leadership podcasts lack. With 20 episodes published biweekly since its launch, the catalog is still growing, but the conversations already cover surprising ground: financial bubbles, cybersecurity threats, trust-building in distributed teams, and entrepreneurship through acquisition. Geary's interview style is direct and informed. She clearly does her homework, and because she's held the roles she's discussing, she can push back on vague answers in ways that a journalist host might not. The practical takeaways at the end of each episode feel earned rather than tacked on. It hasn't accumulated ratings on Apple Podcasts yet, which is typical for a newer show in this niche, but the quality of the conversations suggests it will. If you're an aspiring executive trying to understand what the CFO or Chief People Officer actually does all day — or a current exec looking for peer-level perspective on a function outside your own — this show fills a gap that's genuinely hard to fill elsewhere.
