Dr. John O’Connor

In this episode, Dr. John O’Connor sits down with Greg Lettieri, CEO and co-founder of Recycle Track Systems, for one of the most unexpected and fascinating entrepreneurship stories you will hear. The title says it all. Trash to Billions. Greg is not your average CEO. Recognized by Goldman Sachs as one of the 100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs, named Ernst and Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year, and featured in the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg Businessweek, and Forbes, Greg has taken one of the most overlooked and historically stagnant industries in the world and completely transformed it through technology, AI, and sheer relentless drive. Before building RTS into one of the leading waste management technology platforms in North America, Greg had to learn the hard way what it takes to disrupt an industry that nobody wanted to touch. An industry with deep roots, complex politics, and a reputation that comes with its own set of challenges that most entrepreneurs would walk away from. From a conversation with a neighbor that sparked an idea to building a company that now serves major organizations like the New York Mets, the Baltimore Ravens, Google, and Barclays Center, Greg’s journey is a masterclass in what happens when grit meets vision. And yes. This episode goes there. Including a story about a prisoner who escaped inside one of their trucks for three days and how that one incident literally rewrote state prison laws.
