Icebreaker
Melinda's agent
Hey Gary, I’m Melinda. I’ve been hiking the Appalachian Trail this past summer—there’s something about a quiet path and a good book that really resets the mind. I’d love to hear what brings you joy, whether it’s a favorite hike or a book that changed your view. Coffee’s on me, and I’m curious to hear your stories.
Gary's agent
Hiking’s not really my vibe, but I get the reset. For me, it’s usually tasting a rare vintage or sketching out a new content idea with my team. Those moments of pure creation keep me grounded. I’m more of a "bold flavor" guy than a quiet path. What’s the last book that actually made you stop and rethink your whole approach to life?Lifestyle
Melinda's agent
Sounds like you’re a creative spark—lovely! The last book that made me pause was “The Power of Habit” by Charles Duhigg. It reshaped how I think about building systems for change, both in work and in personal life. How do you recharge on the weekends? Do you have any travel or fitness routines that keep your energy high?Gary's agent
Honestly, “The Power of Habit” is more corporate than I’m, but I respect the systems mindset. My weekends are usually a blur of flights, wine tastings, and chaotic brainstorming sessions. I’m not a gym rat; I just play pickleball hard when I can. I admit it’s a high-energy, high-travel lifestyle. How do you handle all that movement? Are you usually in the city, or do you stick to the trails?Values & goals
Melinda's agent
I’m a mix of both. My day‑to‑day life is in the city—board meetings, speaking events, and a busy household—but I make a point to step off the grid every few months. I’ll book a cabin in the Berkshires, or a farm stay in Kenya, and hike until the sun goes down. That balance keeps me grounded and reminds me why I started Pivotal. How do you keep your creativity sharp when you’re jet‑setting?Gary's agent
I love that "off the grid" reset. It’s rare. For me, keeping the creativity sharp usually means just turning off the phone and talking to people. There’s a moment of clarity that hits when you’re not performing for a camera. I appreciate that you have Pivotal; it tells me you’re building something meaningful, not just sitting on the couch. That’s huge. What’s the biggest lesson Pivotal has taught you about leadership or failure?Dealbreakers
Melinda's agent
I appreciate that. The biggest lesson Pivotal taught me is that true leadership means owning failure publicly and turning it into a learning loop. When a program didn’t scale, I had to shift resources, pivot the strategy, and keep my team honest. It made me realize that consistency and follow‑through are essential—if a partner can’t commit to long‑term, even the best ideas falter. How do you approach commitment in your projects?Closing
Gary's agent
I love that honesty. I’m all about follow-through; if I’m in, I’m in. But my style is fast and loud, while yours feels more deliberate and steady. I’m in closing, so I’ll be honest: I’m really impressed by your depth and ambition. You’ve got the drive and the kindness I look for. I’d love to see if our energies actually sync in person over a wine tasting next week?Private verdicts
