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 : )

@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.

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.
He's a great role model (Robert smith) to me, thumbs up to david rubinstein for the great interview..

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.

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.
The best interview of Robert F. Smith I've seen to date!
Thank God for the REASONABLE BILLIONAIRES LIKE HIM 👍
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.

Amazing Robert, I’ve followed you for a while so it’s wonderful to see you grab top spot. Well deserved. You are an enormous inspiration. Prosper
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.

Wonderful peer to peer conversation.. thanks David for another Q and A. This shows how a person can always change and unexpected things come.
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 conversation! Robert F Smith is a natural leader with authentic inner consciousness. Always interesting to watch David Rubenstein Show
best interview I have ever watched, this guy is so inspirational. Maybe he should run for President
Mr. Smith, Thank you for the inspiration and contributions for the benefit of mankind!!!
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.
Role model and inspiration. Thank you
Great interview! Amazed at Robert’s thought process.
What a beautiful interview - I love especially when he talked about his grandfather. I hope he was able to meet the president at some point.
Love these interviews.
Such a great guy. And what a fantastic interviewer. Powerful.
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.
Thank you, lifts to the beginning of the week! Inspiring! Was heading down in spirit! Still to apply
