The Expat Equation

Exploring the human side
of working abroad

Behind every expat career is a human story - of adaptation, courage, and finding your place in a new world.

And the expats who thrive aren't always the ones with the perfect plan. They're the ones willing to be beginners again - to ask for help, to listen, to understand, and to rethink what they thought they knew about work and belonging.

The Expat Equation is the podcast where international professionals and HR leaders share what it really takes to navigate the global workplace - not the polished version, but the real one. The missteps, the breakthroughs, and the moments that changed how they see the world.

Hosted by Bianca Cenan and Julian Johns
