Rod Wallace has one of the most important jobs a leader can have: shaping the future of the next generation. Rod creates opportunities for young people through music, something he’s passionate about as a 30-year veteran of the music business himself. In this episode, you’ll learn how Rod’s innovative thinking is opening doors for those in his community.

Rod believes that the best leaders are the ones that do more listening than talking. He’ll explain why seeking to understand people is more important than being understood.

You’ll also find out how a new fellowship that Rod started is helping to amplify the voices of the African-American community, while also setting them up to succeed outside the studio.
