Business podcasts are everywhere — but many still sound the same.
Catch The Upswing is a new weekly business and leadership podcast featuring candid conversations with global leaders, entrepreneurs, and emerging voices shaping today’s economy – exploring how they build, lead, and navigate complexity in a rapidly changing world.
Hosted by global finance leader Jessica Espinoza, the show brings together voices from across generations — from Gen Z founders to global CEOs — to explore the real journeys behind leadership: the setbacks, decisions, reinventions, and insights that shape meaningful success.
Rather than focusing only on outcomes, the podcast examines the person behind the success, opening space for honest conversations about resilience, responsibility, and the human side of building something that matters.
At the same time, each episode translates the experiences of accomplished leaders into practical insights listeners can apply in their own careers and ventures.
“Too often we only hear the finish line,” says Espinoza.
“Catch The Upswing is about the journey — the setbacks, recalibrations, and insights that shape real leadership.”
Launch Week Episodes:
The podcast launches on 25 March 2026 with three opening conversations:
Christiana Figueres
Former UN climate chief and architect of the Paris Climate Agreement
Reflecting on the emotional discipline required to negotiate under global pressure and the resilience behind historic agreements.
Luba Kassova
Media researcher and internationally recognized expert on the visibility of women’s voices in media and public discourse.
She discusses midlife reinvention and confronting the systemic invisibility of women’s voices.
Angie Madara
Entrepreneur
Sharing why resilience is built through failure and how rebuilding can redefine success.
New episodes will follow weekly.
About the Host:
Jessica Espinoza is a global finance leader and CEO of 2X Global, the world’s leading investor network focused on expanding economic opportunity and investment in women. She is best known for leading the G7’s 2X Challenge, which has mobilized more than $34 billion toward investment in women globally.
Through Catch The Upswing, she brings her experience at the intersection of capital, entrepreneurship, and global leadership into long-form conversations with leaders shaping today’s economy.
Why Catch The Upswing Stands Out
• A business and leadership podcast centered on how people build and lead in complex times
• Conversations spanning Gen Z founders to global CEOs, capturing the full spectrum of leadership today
• Honest discussions exploring the human journey behind success, including setbacks, reinvention, and resilience
• Translating the experiences of accomplished leaders into practical insights listeners can act on
• A female-led voice in a business media landscape still largely dominated by male hosts
Where to Listen
Catch The Upswing will be available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major podcast platforms, with video highlights across LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok.
