Lessons in Business & Civic Leadership with Bob Donegan, President of Ivar’s, Inc.

If you want to make the world a better place, sometimes you have to lead in your community, not just at work.

Bob Donegan has done that for decades. He is the President of Ivar’s, Inc., an iconic Seattle-area seafood restaurant chain. 

From the shadows, Bob has shaped several massive public works projects, from the airport to the waterfront, where a multi-billion-dollar tunnel replaced Seattle’s Alaskan Way Viaduct. 

In this episode, Bob explains why he’s so committed to civic leadership, how he helped more than 40 companies get off the ground or grow, why he agreed to serve on the Seattle Branch of the Federal Reserve, and Ivar’s secret to success that’s worked for 86 years.

If you aspire to be a leader at work and in your community, this conversation with Bob Donegan is the inspiration you’re looking for.
