Episode Description

I love talking with successful people. Rick Smith, the CEO of Axon, is definitely one of my favorite conversations. You may know his company as Taser.

Our conversation is about his road to success, from starting his company in a garage in Tucson to growing it into a $40,000,000,000 multinational company.

He discusses his successes and failures. He talks about the lessons learned and the fight to keep his world headquarters in Scottsdale.
