This isn't a blog post about us. This is a blog post about a bank that created a podcast. Aside from that being so 2018 it hurts, a quick health warning. This isn't a dig, nor a brag. The podcast thing is a metaphor. How? Read on...

Every Thursday, Leda Glyptis, 11:FS Chief of Staff creates #LedaWrites. This week she turns her attention to bankers behaving badly…and cookies.

It’s that time again – with a new year on the horizon, we’re doing something a little different for 2019 and reviewing our best and most popular podcast episodes.
