About this episode
Bruce Reilly discusses the importance of relationships and judgment in sustaining a business over time.
“You can build a wall by pouring concrete—or you can build it brick by brick, client by client.” What actually sustains a business over time? In this conversation, I talk with Bruce Reilly, Managing Partner of a CPA firm, reflecting on more than three decades of building and leading a business. We explore what sits beneath technical expertise—how relationships are built, how judgment is shaped through experience, and how leadership evolves from control to trust.
