In Episode 29 of The David Rutherford Show — “Who is Donald Trump Behind Closed Doors? Former Trump Lawyer Opens Up” — Javelin Advisors’ co-founder George Sorial offers an unfiltered look inside the corridors of power, drawn from his years as a senior executive and counsel to Donald Trump and the Trump Organization.
Host David Rutherford — a former Navy SEAL, CIA contractor, and world championship performance coach — frames the conversation around leadership under pressure, resilience in the face of resistance, and the discipline it takes to navigate politically charged environments.
Over the course of the discussion, George reflects on:
-
Unprecedented access to the Trump Organization’s decision-making — and how to maintain trust at the highest levels.
-
Navigating fierce opposition from entrenched Washington interests, while staying focused on outcomes.
-
Drawing strength from immigrant beginnings to succeed in law, corporate compliance, and international negotiations.
-
Embracing fear as a catalyst for disciplined action and long-term success.
The episode delivers more than a behind-the-scenes account of one of America’s most polarizing figures — it’s a masterclass in strategic execution, loyalty, and adaptability. George’s journey bridges headline-making moments with the quiet, disciplined work required to deliver real results for clients on the global stage.
