A Jim Cathcart Production
Professional Experts Podcast
Conversations with the world’s top professional experts.

About the Show
These Are “Conversations,” Not Content
Every episode of the Professional Experts Podcast is a conversation between Jim Cathcart and someone who has spent a career building expertise. These are conversations, not “content.” Not interviews. Not performances. Real exchanges between people who have done the work and want to share what they have learned.
Jim has spent fifty years in rooms with the best minds in professional development, speaking, sales, and human potential. The Professional Experts Podcast is what happens when those relationships become public. The same warmth he brings to a mentoring session. The same depth. Just shared with anyone who wants to listen.
41 episodes across two seasons. More on the way.
