In this debut episode of Hey, Jack... Leadership Reflections with Jack Nehlig, Trevor Robinson sits down with his longtime mentor and former leader, Jack Nehlig, for a candid and inspiring conversation about leadership, legacy, and the unexpected journey that brought them here.
Jack shares how his career in manufacturing and automation evolved—often by simply saying “yes” to new opportunities. From his first sales role to becoming the president of Phoenix Contact USA, Jack reflects on how culture, relationships, and humility shaped his leadership philosophy.
This episode sets the tone for what’s to come: authentic stories, practical wisdom, and a space where leaders at all levels can feel seen, heard, and inspired.
What you'll hear:
Jack’s “accidental” path to leadership
How one phone call rekindled a powerful connection
The true measurement of a great leader
Why this podcast is about reflections, not just advice
A preview of Episode 2: The Importance of Being a Role Model
Let’s reflect, grow, and lead together.
Welcome to Hey, Jack....
