About the Show

A series of one-on-one interviews with America's preeminent CEOs and business luminaries. Talking to Jonathan, these prestigious guests will be afforded the opportunity to reveal the person behind the successful executive: revealing where business is about more than just the numbers, where it's about guts and insight, and in the end about people.

We’re not looking for the standard sound-bites, so the setting is relaxed. Open Exchange endeavors to be intimate, based in the home and environs of the CEO's vacation home in a Plum market. Guided by Jonathan Tisch, a working CEO of a major American business, and hence a host with a unique insight into the life, work and responsibilities of the CEO, the audience will come to know our guest, his or her background, high school days, the very beginnings of their career. That inside knowledge gives the viewer a privileged look at the driving forces behind the executive's current business insights and corporate strategy. The unique openness of the exchange demystifies the business legend and reveals the simple everyday decisions that shaped the person to date.
