  • E171 || Damian Lee || Starting at 100
    Mar 18 2024

    This week we have the honor of sitting down with Damian Lee, the General Manager for the Texas Operations of H. J. Russell & Company, a vertically integrated service provider specializing in real estate development, construction, program management, and property management.

    Naturally, we talk with Damian about the lasting impact of growing up in a then-small community of Tomball, Texas and his journey to-and-through construction. But what resonated most this week were the great stories (like summers riding in the big rig with his grandfather) and leadership lessons (like starting from a position of trust and the enduring value of hard work) we picked up all along the way.

    We hope you love getting to know more about Damian as much as we did in this week's episode!
