Beyond the Business is a narrative podcast about the systems that quietly shape modern business — energy, infrastructure, sustainability, technology, and risk. Each episode deconstructs the economic logic behind today’s transitions, exposing hidden costs, legacy structures, and long-term consequences that rarely appear in boardrooms or reports. It’s about helping business see the system it operates in more clearly. My LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-byelyavtsev-a702a22a/Alex White Economics
