About the Show

Cocktail Party Statement is an award-wining podcast, made up of 3 MBAs who dissect the findings of business books and summarize them so you can make a statement at a cocktail party and sound like you’ve actually read it.
Thousands of business books are published every year – too many for any reader to sift through single-handedly. The group has chosen the best of the best – the books that deliver the biggest payoff, useful strategies and actionable methods. Their book synopsis is chronicled in their radio show/podcast.
