Becoming a world-class operator - Adam Lawrence, CEO Boom and Bucket

Today I have a wonderful conversation with my new neighbor here in Austin, Adam Lawrence. Adam is a world-class business operator, who honed his skills at companies like Bolt and Addepar, before launching his current project, Boom and Bucket. We talk about Adam's journey as an entrepreneur, we discuss what business excellence looks like, and dig into the importance of healthy company culture.
