One Take CEO Interviews

Authentic. Unedited. Real Talk.

CEOs Leading Through Changing Times

These are authentic spontaneous discussions on how CEOs are leading through changing times. Interviews are recorded in one take and left unedited. Neither the interviewer nor the CEO receives questions in advance.

In the depths of uncertainty during the early months of COVID-19, One Take interviews began in June 2020 for Minnesota CEOs to share their take on how best to lead during the pandemic and its unprecedented impact on their operations, employees and the economy. At the time, such Zoom-recorded-broadcast interviews were the first of their kind nationwide.

All interviews can be watched or listened to for free. Beginning in 2021, each video interview provided chapters for viewers to jump to should they not have time to watch the entire interview (you'll find these chapters in the interview's YouTube description box under "show more").

These interviews were independently produced by Dale Kurschner. No funding or other financial consideration was provided by companies covered through One Take CEO Interviews, and CEOs were selected solely upon the relevance of what may be discussed during an interview.
