The Defuse Podcast: Risk in Private and Public Life
Prominence brings risks most people never have to think about.
Some involve harmful behaviour, such as stalking by a fixated follower or harassment by a former employee with a grievance.
Others are less visible:
- The wrong hire.
- The pressure a family carries in private.
- A child growing up with a known surname.
- Governance that never caught up with the wealth.
Conversations that help you think ahead
In each episode, Philip Grindell talks to someone who handles these issues for a living, from investigators and psychologists to recruiters, lawyers and family governance advisers.
Together they look at how to prevent problems and how to address the ones that have already started.
If you look after someone whose name opens doors, or the name is yours, this is for you.
