Podcast Summary:
Listeners of this show will probably notice that I have a bias toward Founding CEOs who mash up agriculture, real food, and technology to help all of us eat better and live healthier lives. I guess that is why I was eager to interview Brad on the podcast.
Brad and his team make it easier for any metropolitan area to create more entrepreneurs and more healthy food all year round without shipping food thousands of miles. And, as a leader, Brad speaks candidly about several important topics:
- He explains how he was able to let somethings go as the company grew.
- He discusses his personal challenge around remaining emotionally connected to his team.
- He talks about Friday “AMA” (As Me Anything) meetings to increase engagement and reconnect everyone to the mission and values of the company.
