Behind the Business with Michelle Toh
Behind the Business is a Webby Award-winning podcast and video series hosted by CNN and FORTUNE alum Michelle Toh that aims to explore the decisions and philosophies behind some of today’s most influential leaders. Its new season, coming Summer 2026, features the leaders of Airbnb, Rivian, NYSE, Samsung, Canva, Revolve, Peloton, Poppi and Away.
Think “How I Built This,” but more diverse and global. The show is grounded in the belief that business is in fact personal, providing the backstories of founders, corporate leaders, investors and creators and how they push through to make the most of both work and life each day.
This is not a fawning interview show. We pair deep research with thorough interviews — avoiding fluff and performative praise, while also keeping it fun! The show aims to be journalistically rigorous and visually compelling, with each episode ending with a rapid-fire round and connecting guests with young founders/ CEOs who send in a question.
What’s the worst day you’ve faced at your company? How do you cope with crisis or rejection? Or what’s a pinch-me moment you’ll never forget? In each episode, our guests get into it all. New episodes Thursdays.
