Awesome Office: Lead. Create. Inspire Sun Basket’s Recipe for Startup Success, w/ Sun Basket founder and CEO Adam Zbar
How’s this for a recipe for success: Work at McKinsey. Go to film school. Take over a high-level strategy role when your colleague has a mental breakdown. Start your first company in your mid-thirties.
Sound a bit... circuitous? Well it's precisely the path that today’s guest Adam Zbar took - and it seems to be working out.
Adam is the CEO and founder of Sun Basket, a San Francisco-based meal-kit delivery service that makes healthy cooking easy by delivering ready to make recipes and organic and non-GMO ingredients every week.
Since launching in 2015, the company has seen enormous growth and success, scaling from 0-1,000 employees and raising more than $50 million in funding.
In this episode, Adam joins us from his Bay Area home to share Sun Basket’s recipe for success, as well as some top shelf “Zbarisms” - including why it’s usually better to “solve the people, not the problem.”
