In this special episode of The Intersection podcast, UTC President and CEO Rusty Williams steps away from the usual format to have a candid conversation with his daughters, Brooke Hurst and Caitlin Jackson. The episode offers a personal glimpse into Rusty’s family life, as the trio reflects on growing up in the Williams household, share humorous and heartfelt memories, and discuss the intersection of family and work life.

Brooke and Caitlin recount their childhood, teenage years, and experiences attending UTC events with their father over the years — including a memorable 2009 conference in Las Vegas when Rusty was Board Chair. They also provide playful yet insightful advice to the UTC staff and members on working with Rusty.

The episode wraps with reflections on family, legacy, and the importance of blending personal and professional worlds to build meaningful relationships.

Special Guests: Brooke Hurst and Caitlin Jackson.
