Ashlee and Chris Kleinert join Kyle and Tom to share their journey through family, entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and some of North Texas' most ambitious developments.
From growing up in the Hunt family and building a career at Hunt Investments to launching Ruthie's food trucks and advocating for victims of human trafficking, the Kleinerts discuss the experiences and relationships that have shaped their lives. Chris also takes us behind the scenes of major Dallas-area projects, including the Goldman Sachs campus and the 2,500-acre Fields development in Frisco.
Ashlee and Chris share how their marriage has shaped their approach to leadership, why community service remains central to their work, and what they hope to pass on to the next generation.
