Not sure what “Withology” means? That’s because we made it up. Extraordinary things happen through collaboration, influence and inspiration. No successful person has ever achieved their goals on their own. Host Brian Tierney sits down with the nation’s most successful business and industry leaders to discuss their personal journeys and unpack the stories and people who helped them get to where they are today. Withology explores the philosophy that Brian’s parents instilled in him at a young age: anything is possible with hard work and great people.

In the latest episode of Withology, Brian chats with Sherry Phillips, the first female CEO in the storied history of Forbes.

Sherry isn’t just breaking glass ceilings, she’s redesigning the whole building. Her journey from navigating high-stakes corporate rooms to steering one of the most influential business media brands on the planet is nothing short of remarkable.

 

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What authentic leadership looks like at the top
  • Why storytelling still moves markets
  • The balance of grit and grace
  • And what’s next for brand Forbes in a rapidly shifting media landscape

 

This is one of those episodes you’ll want to hit replay on. Whether you're a founder, a brand builder, or just someone figuring out what’s next, Sherry’s insights are equal parts fuel and foundation.
