My guest today is A.J. Wasserstein, the Eugene F. Williams, Jr. Lecturer in the Practice of Management at the Yale School of Management where he teaches multiple classes on the topics of entrepreneurship through acquisition and small company leadership.
A.J. previously was the president of Onesource Water, the third-largest bottleless water service business in the U.S. and the founder and CEO of ArchivesOne, the third-largest records management company in the U.S., which he sold to Iron Mountain after 17 years of operation. Among the topics we discuss in this episode are looking at life in thirds, the importance of protecting your time, and what it felt like to sell the company he founded.
