Mentorship Matters with Dave & Liz: Keir Gumbs

Dave and I recently interviewed Keir Gumbs – Principal & General Counsel at Edward Jones – for the latest episode of “Mentorship Matters with Dave & Liz.” Keir needs no introduction to most readers of this blog – he’s been at the SEC, Covington, Uber, and he has spent a lot of time through the years making a positive impact on the corporate governance & securities community. Keir is also very motivating, and the conversation gave me renewed energy for my work and for those around me! Check out this 26-minute podcast to hear:

1. The role of mentors in Keir’s career development

2. Advice to young corporate and securities lawyers looking to learn from leaders in the field

3. Foundational skills and knowledge that set the stage for Keir’s career

4. Recommended resources and strategies for maintaining a deep and current understanding of the field

5. Keir’s approach to gathering and synthesizing information, and applying his judgment, to fit the context and audience

6. Which is better: the ’33 Act or the ’34 Act?

Thank you to everyone who has been listening to the podcast! If you have a topic that your think we should cover or guest who you think would be great for the podcast, feel free to contact Dave or me by LinkedIn or email.
