Скачать или смотреть Stuart Gibson on Actual Intelligence, Zealous Advocacy, and Lifelong Reinvention

The professional paths of host Liz Sweigart and guest Stuart Gibson (  / stuart-gibson-a096113  ) first crossed at the inaugural NYU Tax Controversy Forum (https://www.sps.nyu.edu/homepage/acad...) reception, back when Stu was Special Trial Counsel for the US Department of Justice Tax Division and Liz was a mid-career Big 4 tax advisor. Two decades, multiple career pivots, and a trans-Atlantic author-recruiting adventure later, Stu remains a plain-spoken mentor whose insights elevate every room he enters. In this episode of Past the Profile, the conversation traces his journey from landmark courtroom victories to leading a global tax newsroom and launching Actual Intelligence LLC, exploring how curiosity, integrity, and humor power a career that never stops evolving.
