In this episode of Super TRUEper, Scott Smith sits down with Alan Kacura, co-founder of Intrepid California, for a wide-ranging conversation about his journey from humble beginnings in California to building a thriving agency. Alan reflects on being raised by a single mom, the influence of mentors and family, and how early jobs—including a stint as Christopher Robin at Disneyland—shaped his entrepreneurial drive. He shares stories about meeting his wife Lauren in college, raising two kids, and the balance between running a 26-person fully remote team and fostering a culture that avoids burnout.
