The CEO Series – Details, episodes & analysis

Kyle Matthews grew up in the most decorated football family in NFL history. Four first-round picks. A Hall of Famer. Decades of combined pro careers.

He went a different direction.

With a team of 25 and a gap in the market he couldn't ignore, Kyle walked away from a top-producing career and built Matthews from the ground up — now the largest privately held commercial real estate brokerage in the country. 31,000 transactions. $78 billion in deals. Zero outside investors.

In this episode, we sit down with Matthews™ Founder and CEO, and host of the Matthews Mentality podcast, Kyle Matthews to talk about what it really takes to scale a company, why he believes AI may be the biggest threat commercial real estate isn't paying attention to yet, and what Pete Carroll taught him about building a culture people actually want to be part of.

Everyone wants to know when the market will crash. ‪Morningstar CEO Kunal Kapoor has spent decades analyzing markets, and his answer might surprise you. In this episode of The CEO Series, William Salvi sits down with Kunal to discuss why timing the market rarely works, how Morningstar has evolved into a global financial data powerhouse, and what leaders often underestimate when scaling a company. From an almost 30-year journey at one firm to leading through change, Kunal shares how discipline, culture, and long-term thinking shape both investing and leadership.    Chapters 0:00 | Intro 1:00 | From Data Analyst to CEO 3:10 | What Morningstar Actually Does 4:20 | The Rise of Private Markets 5:20 | Why Timing the Market Fails 5:40 | Are We Headed for a Recession? 6:06 | Does Kunal Invest Personally? 6:45 | What Keeps a CEO Up at Night 8:00 | Taking Over from a Founder 9:05 | Leading by Example 9:45 | Growth vs. Discipline 11:00 | The Hardest Leadership Lesson 12:30 | Answering the Internet's Top Questions 14:05 | When Will the Market Crash? 14:30 | How Morningstar Handles Private Market Data 15:45 | How AI Is Changing Morningstar 17:20 | Rapid Fire 19:05 | 30 Years of Lessons in Leadership
