This week on The CEO Series, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Luke Saunders, founder and CEO of Farmer's Fridge. Farmer's Fridge is essentially fresh food in a vending machine, but they're a much more dynamic company than that. They have 500 employees, roughly 2,000 locations, and they raised over a hundred million dollars.

Over the course of our conversation, we talked about the entrepreneurial spark within him, how his company runs on a day-to-day basis, and what it takes to balance the extreme highs and lows of leadership. Listen to our conversation above, and check here for more great conversations with innovative CEOs.
