Steve Hills
Author and Former President & General Manager of The Washington Post
Join us for a thought-provoking episode of the Walker Webcast as Willy sits down with Steve Hills, former President and General Manager of The Washington Post and author of the forthcoming book, The Alpha Trap, for a conversation about leadership, transformation, ambition, and the hidden costs of success.

They will explore how Steve helped transform The Washington Post from a newspaper into a digital-first technology company, what that experience can teach leaders navigating the AI revolution, and why vulnerability can be a powerful leadership strength. They’ll also dive into The Alpha Trap and what Steve learned from interviewing more than 100 high achievers about the relentless pursuit of status and success, the difference between being admired and being truly known, and how to bring the same energy we invest in our careers to our relationships, health, purpose, and fulfillment.
Don’t miss this candid conversation about what it takes to succeed—and what it takes to build a life beyond success.
