Building a business is 80 percent art- Steve Lipscomb & Adam Pliska

World Poker Tour CEO Adam Pliska returns for the second half of our conversation to tell the story that changed everything. At 17 years old, Adam met legendary television producer Al Burton, a mentor who opened the door to the entertainment industry and helped shape Adam’s values, leadership style, and career. That relationship would eventually lead him to a decades-long journey at the helm of the World Poker Tour. In this episode, Adam shares how mentorship, curiosity, and saying yes to opportunity helped guide him from a community college production class to running one of the most iconic brands in poker.
