The Network Behind the Practice: Jeff Reynolds on Working with Other Specialists

Going independent doesn't have to mean going it alone.

Jeff Reynolds spent more than 30 years in executive leadership across privately held and publicly traded companies before starting his consulting business in 2018. Eight years on, he works closely with C-suite leaders to improve performance, optimise costs and strengthen enterprise value.

In this episode of Your Second Curve, Dr. Arnd Halbach, author of Your Second Curve, talks with Jeff about the move from leading large organisations to working on his own, why having your spouse on board matters, how he handled the first weeks and months in a home office, and how he found his first clients and grew them into a portfolio. They also cover how he built a network of specialists to work with on client projects and why that keeps the energy up, how he thinks about retirement and legacy, and his advice for anyone thinking about leaving corporate to start their own business.
