Ep 21. Leadership and Legacy: Nelson Wolff Talks Leadership, Policy, and Power Dynamics

As a legislator, mayor and county judge, Nelson Wolff learned a lot along his journey and shares his successes as well as his failures and mistakes.

From the creation of The Alamo Promise and the successful courtship of Toyota, he continues to emphasize how fostering job creation is paramount to a robust economy.

Amidst a shifting demographic landscape, we explore the implications of declining population growth in the U.S. and Japan and talk about why Nelson believes in the power of immigration to infuse talent and hard work into our communities.

A jewel in our episode is our mutual admiration and respect for the late-Roddy Stinson, a columnist with the San Antonio Express-News. Wolff applauds a particularly moving sentence, prompting a shared appreciation of linguistic artistry that made Stinson such a legendary figure. We then take a turn into the nuanced arena of political longevity and the importance of leaving office with grace, and discuss an incident with the late-State Senator Frank Madla.

We address the changing faces of power in the business community and the implications for regional advocacy and local governance. And finally, Wolff sends a strong message on why we must all champion candidates who value civility and bipartisan collaboration.
