Your weekly business podcast

Systems of Business.

A clear-eyed look at the people, processes and decisions behind businesses that work.

Weekly from 01 August 2026

01 / The premise

Good businesses aren’t built on guesswork.

Every business is a network of systems: some deliberate, some accidental, and some held together by one person who knows where everything is buried.

Each week, Damon Simms and Tony Gavin unpack one part of that network—with practical ideas, honest disagreements and lessons from real businesses.
