Start Me Up!

This week we turn the spotlight on CEO & founder of Atrium Analytics, as well as co-founder of Baryard.co, Tornike Amiranashvili. I first me Tor when he became the head bartender at my restaurant, Della, several years ago. He was between start ups and we spent many hours discussing business & entrepreneurship. His talent eventually took him to greener pastures, and, after reconnecting recently I'm super excited to welcome him to the show.
