The C-Suite Exchange Add us as a preferred source on Google

For more than 20 years, James Forrest has advised C-level executives, giving him a front-row seat to the business decisions that shape companies, careers, and legacies. The C-Suite Exchange gives listeners that same access. In each episode, James sits down with corporate executives, entrepreneurs, and boardroom leaders for honest, unfiltered conversations about what actually worked, what didn't, and the lessons learned along the way. Instead of the familiar "up and to the right" success story, guests speak candidly about the setbacks behind their growth. They cover the hard conversations they put off, the pivots they never planned for, and what it means to sell a company and figure out who you are afterward, along with the culture, shared ownership, and long-term thinking that helped their organizations last. If you're in the C-suite or aspire to be, or you care about leadership, entrepreneurship, and building organizations that matter, you're in the right place.
