Today’s conversation is with Adam Rossi.

Adam is an Inc 500 entrepreneur, engineer, business owner, and investor.

As the founder of Platinum Solutions, Adam and his wife Laila grew their business to a multi-million dollar company that they successfully sold and exited - despite having negative net worths from student loans when they started.

Expect to learn about: the drawbacks of medicating lively children or blunting your desire and drive with recreational drugs; what the early days of growing a tech business looked like back in the late 90s and early 2000s; novel ways to pay the bills and win contracts; what it was like working with the FBI and CIA, and why entrepreneurship is a team sport.

Beyond this, you’re going to understand what investors look for in successful companies, and Adam’s advice to founders on health, business, and family.

It’s only in recent years Adam has started sharing online and I’m very glad he has.

He has a tremendous amount of wisdom to share and I loved understanding his perspectives as someone who has achieved so much in the business world and can impart that on the next generation of founders, entrepreneurs, and aspirational people.
