RWA 30 | WATCH Trust, Power & Reputation From a Billion Dollar Builder | Russell S Reynolds Jr

Описание: What actually matters when money, titles, and power are no longer the goal?

In this episode of the RWA Igloominati Interview Series, Jon sits down with his grandfather, Russell S. Reynolds Jr, founder of Russell Reynolds Associates, pioneer of the global executive search industry, and advisor to CEOs, board members, and presidents.

This is a rare, unfiltered conversation spanning nearly a century of leadership, from growing up during the Great Depression to building a billion-dollar firm, advising Fortune 500 CEOs, working alongside U.S. presidents, and ultimately defining what reputation really means.

There’s no crypto hype here — just timeless alpha on trust, character, decision-making, leadership, AI, hiring, power, and legacy. If you’re building anything that lasts — a company, a career, or a reputation — this episode is required listening.
