Listen "The First Customer - From Dot-com bubble burst to successful digital agency with Adam Trachtman"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview Adam Trachtman, Director and Owner of Lucid Circus. Adam's upbringing in Haverford, Pennsylvania, and his formative years at a creative and performing arts high school in Philadelphia laid the groundwork for his journey. With a blend of analytical precision inherited from his mother and a risk-taking spirit from his father, Adam embarked on a bold move to the Czech Republic at just 19 years old, driven by a desire to immerse himself in Europe's cultural tapestry. Upon landing in Prague, Adam's entrepreneurial instincts kicked in as he cofounded Lucid Circus with Ezra Cohen, their parallel paths converging from Philadelphia to Prague. Amid the dot-com bubble burst, they smartly combined their firms, blending design and development talents to overcome hurdles. This synergy enabled them to secure clients like AOL and MTV, setting the stage for Lucid Circus's ascent in the digital realm. Beyond the boardroom, Adam's creative vision finds expression in his graphic novel, "Immersion," a labor of love blending artistry with cutting-edge technology. Leveraging neural style transfer, Adam transforms his experiences into a visually captivating narrative, bridging languages and cultures. With "Immersion" gaining traction internationally, Adam's journey epitomizes the entrepreneurial spirit intertwined with a passion for innovation and storytelling.Step into the vibrant streets of Prague and Join us as we explore the intersection of art and technology with Adam Trachtman on The First Customer!Guest Info:LucidCircus http://lucidcircus.comwww.adamtrachtman.comAdam Trachtman's LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/adam10/Connect with Jay on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jayaigner/The First Customer Youtube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@thefirstcustomerpodcastThe First Customer podcast websitehttps://www.firstcustomerpodcast.comFollow The First Customer on LinkedInhttp://www.linkedin.com/company/the-first-customer-podcast/
