GBA Podcast Surpasses 20,000 Downloads
GBA is thrilled to share that the GBA Podcast has officially surpassed 20,000 downloads! The podcast delivers expert insights from geoprofessionals worldwide—empowering listeners to optimize their business and reduce risk.
The GBA Podcast was born from the creativity and collaboration of Class 4 of the GBA Emerging Leaders Program, a cohort of rising professionals tasked with developing a project that would benefit the geoprofessional community. Inspired by GBA’s long-standing tradition of sharing Case Histories—real-world lessons learned from project challenges—the team envisioned a more accessible, engaging format that could reach professionals wherever they are.
In early 2021, the podcast officially launched with its first series, COVID Concerns, followed by the transformation of written Case Histories into audio episodes featuring expert narration and commentary. Since then, the podcast has evolved to meet the needs of a dynamic and forward-thinking industry with popular series like Leadership Lounge, Management Best Practices, and GeoHeroes. Each series offers unique insights into leadership, risk management, and professional growth.
“We’re grateful to our dedicated GBA community for tuning in, sharing, and supporting this powerful, accessible resource, and to GBA’s Multimedia Delivery Committee for their dedication to producing podcast episodes that keep listeners coming back for more,” Carson said.
The GBA Podcast is more than just audio—it’s a platform for sharing lessons learned, amplifying leadership, and strengthening best practices across the geoprofessions.
