Forbes’ Hank Tucker on Finding Stories, Asking Better Questions, and Being a Great Teammate
Forbes reporter Hank Tucker hasn’t been in the business long, but he has started to make an impact. His profiles on some of the most successful leaders in business coupled with popular articles about interesting investment has made him a compelling read. And he’s only getting started. On this episode of Press Profiles, Tucker explains how he broke into the business, what he learned from talented colleagues like Nathan Vardi, Antoine Gara, and Maneet Ahuja, and how he gets his subjects to reveal interesting things about themselves. We also touch on the growing overlap between finance and sports, life outside the newsroom (think lots of burgers and the Boston Red Sox), how being a middle child has shaped his approach, and why being a good teammate matters as much to him as any byline.
