Roger L. Martin is one of the most influential thinkers on business strategy.
He has advised the CEOs of companies like Procter & Gamble, Lego and Ford.
In 2017, Thinkers50 named him the world's number one management thinker, and he has appeared in every one of their rankings since 2009.

Win, a Wall Street Journal and Washington Post bestseller, one of his 13 books.
But by 1998, almost none of the thinking that would make him renowned was public. Before his 42nd birthday, he had published just four articles.

About Liam Curley
Liam Curley works with leaders who sell their expertise, helping them articulate the insights that get them recognised as authorities in their field.
What is Undisputed Authority?
How does an invisible expert become an Undisputed Authority?
Each episode tells the story of how one expert became THE voice in their field.
It's a deep investigation into how they developed insight, packaged IP, gathered a community, and built their business model.
I read their books and articles, watch their keynotes, and listen to their podcasts to find the threads.
Then we sit down for a conversation to fill in the gaps.
This is not your standard interview style podcast.
It's a narrative built from dozens of sources that reveal the real story of how they built business.
I'm gathering strategies and patterns that you can apply to your expertise-driven business.
