EP-01A: The Aftershow with Krenar Komoni and Chad McCoy - Leadership Principles from Admiral McRaven

This is TLC Equation: The Aftershow. Simply defined, an Aftershow is when we gather together immediately after a meaningful performance. Each aftershow, we'll highlight moments from our main episode conversations and what ideas resonated deeply with our founders. The founders that appear on our Aftershows are currently in build mode.

They have taken a moment to stop, be present with us and share with our audience how TLC Equation spoke to them on their journey. In this episode, we hear from Krenar Komoni and Chad McCoy, a pair of extraordinary founders in the fight to build next-generation technology that will change the world around us.

Join us and welcome to TLC Equation, the Aftershow, where we will dive deep and reflect on our time spent with Navy SEAL Admiral William H. McRaven, USN (Ret.).
