These "Peer-to-Peer Conversations" / interviews are consistently top class. I greatly enjoy watching them. And I learn a lot. Specially from this interview. New to me. Quick paced conversation. Inspiring guest. Both interviewer and interviewee are good role models. Good balance of content, mutual respect, and humility. Thanks posting and sharing. Please keep them coming : )
Great interview. Robert Smith is a wonderful inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs and anyone who is working on becoming the best version of themselves.
Smith is a tax cheat, the individual who funded Vista Equity initially (Robert Brockman) has been indicted for tax crimes, money laundering, human trafficking...truly despicable.

Wow I never heard of this man. Sooooo proud of him-he has a beautiful soul-May the Creator of he Heavens and Earth continue to bless him and his dear family. Ameen.
@MrThuglife404 So despite that you go and lay up with the slave masters daughter. So much for the black woman being God in his mind. He best pray to God every night that this white women doesn't divorce rape him.
I find the David Rubenstein Show to be a great and informative show. He has great guests and great interviews. I am very happy for Robert F. Smith and the success and good works he has been able to do. I wish his shows were translated (subbed/dubbed) -- the content is globally relevant. It is amazingly educational, informational, and at times inspirational.
I’m reading David’s book “How to lead” and chapter about Robert F.Smith brought me here ;) What a charming easygoing man he seems to be ;) Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱
Such an amazing story. I think it is interesting to point out the connects he made in his second year in business school. Ken Chenault, Stan O'Neil, John Utendahl, etc. It shows that yes hard work can pay off, but access to power is the lifter and enabler of his kind of story. Much respect to Robert Smith. Doing so many awesome things in various communities.
Wow An Amazing Interview Mr, Smith Is For Sure One Of My Hero's This Man Is An Amazing Businessman And Philanthropist And Has Never Forgot Where He Came From No Matter Who You Are You Have To Respect That👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
@Well my name is karen and i'm a self employed sculptress , i will love to know more about you as well but since here is a public place suggest a way that we can still stay in touch of here and get to know more about each other and see what happens
Thank you for sharing your thoughtful content... for putting it out there with the passion that many of us need and strive for. I'm starting to listen to you almost every morning. Your voice and words are calming, clarifying, uplifting and motivating. It feels real and genuine. I am grateful to have your channel as a source for having a better relationship with myself and the world around me?

Great story. Our country can definitely improve in intentionally teaching us about the many notable contributions to society of African-Americans throughout the years. Knowledge of this history would make our country better as a whole.
This was one of the most classiest and intelligent interviews that I have ever seen. It is so encouraging to see how the interviewer and interviewee have such mutual respect for each other. Those who dislike this must have some sort of deep seat hatred or even are miserable within themselves. Robert Smith is another breath of fresh air to our society.
If you're an african american and you feel like opportunities aren't coming to you, go find them. This man is a living embodiment of success despite race or colour
I salute you brother..... you should run for president..... I think you have the ability, love, respect, honesty & problem solving engineering & combine buseness mind to turn this country in the right direction.

Wonderful interview. Would Mr. Smith consider fostering cooperative employee-owned manufacturing and industrial start-ups in African American, and other blighted, now poor communities? I am thinking about a bottoms-up, inside-out effort.

The equalisation of opportunities...exactly what needs to be promoted not the outcomes as outcomes cannot be the same for everyone as we are all different. Impressed and inspired by Robert.

I agree…but no man wants battle the world and come home and fight a battle in his home. Too many of our women believe that conflict resolution requires the love and hip-hop model: aggressive, abrasive, emasculating. It’s the same reason a lot of Black women are also willing to choose euro-men because they don’t want to have to struggle with men who aren’t about their discipline… We both have a disconnect. Unfortunately, the gap is widening and I don’t even know how we fix it.
The GREATEST PLEASURE is to LIBERATE A HUMAN SPIRIT. When you're able to liberate a human spirit and see that spirit (that person) really BECOME ITS BEST SELF, that is the GREATEST THRILL on the planet. ~ Robert F. Smith Thank you, Robert. This is just AWESOME.
If you think that young black kids not following him and choosing Lil Wayne as a role model is the reason why there aren’t any successful black entrepreneurs then you don’t have the range for that conversation

@Michael Hinton His name sounds Indian so its likely that he isn't American ( like me ) and hence he might not know this gentlemen being interviewed.
The top don't get there by any other than hard work and kept up the class! Came w it!
"Mutual respect," nice wording to add of acknowledgments and exchanges, respectfully.
I came here after the Morehouse College announcement!! This man is something else, I tell you!

He is our modern day A.G. Gaston. After studying up on RFS since he came on my radar 2 years ago, I'm officially making him one of my mental mentors.

@Amthehardest So very, very true. I am a witness to such actions.
He did say he was approached because of his resume. Hadn't he worked hard, he wouldn't have gotten the chance of that lunch
Wonderful peer to peer conversation.. thanks David for another Q and A.
This shows how a person can always change and unexpected things come.

They will find some dirt even if they have to go back to kindergarten!! If they can't do that, they will attack his children or his ex-wife or wife.
I hope that he never does, he's too valuable as an intellectual, and the Presidency is too disingenuous and corrupt.

It’s refreshing to see an African American with a brain and not a basketball!!!!!
Hell yea.
trust me, they are plenty African Americans with brains. They just don't get the recognition and the platform to show it like athletic ability is.

I guess it's great to see both, superb black athletes and.business folk.
Great Interview!!

Had young black kids follow him and more than Lil Wayne, there would be more successful black entrepreneurs out there.
That’s their father’s responsibility
