Welcome to Debrief, the new podcast hosted by Bloomberg Businessweek Editor Megan Murphy. With each episode, we'll sit down with the world's leading business leaders, entrepreneurs and political figures. It's a peek behind the scenes of global business, culture and politics -- a first-hand conversation with the people who shape the world's economy.
