Episode 3: Lev Buslovich - Apadana Energy
From escaping the former Soviet Union to helping build an 80-person clean energy company, Les Bosnich brings a rare mix of grit, brilliance, and humanity to leadership. In this episode, Les shares how his immigrant story fuels his entrepreneurial spirit, why culture beats perks, and how "growing into bankruptcy" nearly crushed his last venture. We talk about hiring for potential (not perfection), the power of clean process handoffs, and how good leadership—like good soccer—requires the right players in the right positions.
