The Premise
Results are public. The thinking rarely is.
Every great outcome began as a decision, made with incomplete information, under pressure, by someone who could have chosen differently. That choice, and the reasoning behind it, is what we're after.

About the Show
Beyond the résumé. Into the thinking.
Most interviews trace a path: where someone started, what they built, how it turned out. Thinking at the Top asks about the choices in between. What they weighed, what they got wrong, and what they rarely say on a stage.
Hosted by Raza, each episode is an unhurried conversation with a founder, CEO, executive or expert about how they decide, lead and live with the consequences. No highlight reel. No rehearsed lessons. Just thinking, out loud.
What We Explore
Where the conversation goes.
Uncomfortable Truths
What they believe about success, leadership and business that most of their peers won't say out loud.
The Price of Ambition
The sacrifices, trade-offs and difficult decisions that sit behind every achievement.
The Psychology of People
Why capable people hesitate, stay stuck or hold back, and what that reveals about human nature.
Decisions Under Uncertainty
How experienced leaders weigh opportunity and risk when the data runs out and a choice is still required.
Hard-Earned Lessons
What only experience teaches: the failures and turning points no book or classroom can offer.
Building & Leading
How they build companies, carry responsibility and lead people through change.
Our Guests
Seats go to substance, not status.
We don't invite the biggest title or the largest following. We invite people with real experience, a distinctive point of view and the candour to share how they actually think. If that sounds like you, we'd like to hear from you.
