Author: Angie Lawless and Brandon Miller January 23, 2023 Duration: 48:40

Climbing the Charts sat down with Jim Gingrich, a Nashville Business Journal Newsmaker of the Year and former COO of Alliance Bernstein.  Jim gives an insider's account of what attracted both he and Alliance Bernstein to Music City, and offers thoughts about the importance of civic engagements and what is so special about Nashville's nonprofit sector.  Jim also shares his thoughts on productivity and business books (spoiler alert: there's only 1 business book he finds to be worthwhile).
