Episode Synopsis

Larry Gadea, Founder and CEO of Envoy
Larry has an untraditional background for a Silicon Valley CEO, including getting smuggled out of Romania to Germany before settling in Canada at the age of 3. We explore how his experience growing up led him to work at Google while a full-time student and how open-source projects opened doors for him. Next, we dive into the a-ha moment behind Envoy and its ubiquitous tablets seemingly in every startup and tech company's reception area. Jack and Rick then get a behind-the-scenes look into Envoy's culture and what Larry looks for when he's hiring. Don't miss our conversation about everything from what CEOs and managers mean when they say they like ambition to whether working in-office actually impacts your career and professional development prospects.
