From Air Force Officer to Serial Entrepreneur with Andrew Henke of Levver

Steve sits down with Andrew Henke, co-founder of Lever, to trace a remarkable journey from Division I basketball at the Air Force Academy to building Sports Academy (a "Four Seasons of sports" training facility that caught Kobe Bryant's attention) to modernizing an old-school plastics manufacturing company from the ground up. Andrew shares what it really takes to transform a dinosaur business, why he believes AI will create more entrepreneurs rather than eliminate jobs, and the two non-negotiable habits every business owner should build into their week. Whether you're scaling a startup or running a 30-year-old company, this episode is packed with hard-won lessons on revenue, culture, and knowing when to pause and ask: what do I actually want this business to look like?
