How LA Metro is Already Getting Ready for the 2028 Summer Olympics with Seleta Reynolds

Plus how to match your strengths to your job with Josh Cohen


Welcome to the first of two special episodes featuring leaders from the second largest transit system in the U.S.--LA Metro (https://www.metro.net/) ! In this first interview, Paul chats with Seleta Reynolds, Chief Innovation Officer and interim Chief People Officer at LA Metro, about planning for the future of LA Metro including the upcoming 2026 World Cup and 2028 Summer Olympics. Seleta reflects on how to build a lasting legacy for Los Angeles from transit to how Angelenos think about community and their streets. Seleta also talks about her own career journey from intern to GM at LADOT and now her dual role at LA Metro. Seleta is passionate about transit but also passionate about finding new ways to make our streets livable and useful.


In our leadership segment, Paul dives into career journeys with Josh Cohen, CEO of Mobility Leadership Advisors (https://joshuapcohen.com/mobility-lea...) , about building a career that's based on your strengths and values, not other peoples'--or your own--expectations of what the "right" career path is supposed to be. You can sign up for Josh's weekly newsletter (https://mailchi.mp/b377a3e4a841/leade...) and get his insights delivered straight to your inbox. In Josh's segment, you can hear many of the themes Seleta Reynolds talked about in her career journey--matching your career with your passions and your values.


Also on the show, Elea Carey (  / eleacarey  ) connects the dots between Josh's and Seleta's interviews with some advice for marketers in how to be successful--and healthy--in their careers.


Next week, we continue with our LA Metro series with Conan Cheung, COO of LA Metro, talking about safety and connecting with the over 10 thousand LA Metro employees who keep that city moving.
