About the show

Money. Power. Business. And the absurd systems holding everything together. Load Bearing is Freakonomics meets global business—with less reverence and more real life. It investigates the hidden incentives, unusual people and questionable decisions shaping business and modern life. Every episode starts with a question. The guest helps investigate it. Most business podcasts discuss success once it has become a tidy story. Load Bearing is about what actually happened: the risks, near-disasters, impossible decisions, questionable coping mechanisms and the people quietly holding everything together off-camera. Hosted by Sheelam Chadha—an entrepreneur, investor, commercial real-estate executive, mother and professional carrier of far too many things. She has bought and sold some very large buildings. Hooray. And some small ones—not to discriminate. But the world is not just about bricks. Sharp questions. Global perspectives. Dry humour. Important subjects and inappropriate levels of honesty—with occasional interruptions from actual children.
