In the latest episode of the podcast, and part 3/3 of our mini-series with Faropoint, I sat down with Adir Levitas, CEO of Faropoint.

Our conversation touched on Faropoint's start-up and growth chapters, how Adir defines success for the company, why leveraging failure is important, and so much more.

This is the final installment of a three-part mini series with Faropoint team members. I want to thank the company for sharing so much information with me over the course of the mini-series. It was a privilege to help share their team's insights with the industry.
