Jerre Stead has led 10 public companies, served on 37 boards, and built a reputation as one of the most trusted leaders in business. His career spans decades at the top of Fortune 500 firms, guiding organizations through transformation and growth.

But what makes Jerre unique isn’t just his leadership in the boardroom, it’s his impact beyond it. Together with his wife Mary Joy, he has given more than $400 million to healthcare, education, and communities in need.

In this episode of The Hustle by Hanna, you’ll learn:

• How Jerre approaches decision-making when the stakes are highest
• The leadership qualities that matter most in boardrooms and beyond
• Why giving back has been central to his life and career
• How to think about legacy in business and in service

Now in his 80s, Jerre is still mentoring, still building, and still proving that true success is measured by the lives you impact.

This conversation is a must listen for anyone who wants to understand what decades at the top and the most intentional form of giving can teach us about leadership rooted in responsibility, not recognition. Follow @TheHustlebyHanna across all platforms.
