About this episode

Harrison Allen Lewis shares his journey from bagger to three-time CIO, discussing leadership lessons and the importance of accountability in business.

Daniel Robbins sits down with Harrison Allen Lewis, founding partner at Jacob Meadow Associates and a three time CIO, to unpack the real leadership lessons that shape great operators. Harrison shares a shocking early story where a manager handed him the keys during a bomb threat, and how that moment rewired his view of accountability. They dive into why transformations fail when plans are not anchored to outcomes and strategy, why silos kill companies, and how Harrison’s career became a chain reaction of saying yes to scary doors.
