Tackling Food Waste In the $72B Cruise Industry, Overcoming the Odds of an “Incurable” Health Condition and The Mindset That Helps Him Consistently Create His Own Luck, With Robert E. Buchanan

Ever been on a cruise? If not, no doubt you know someone who has.Because the global cruise industry is big business and growing steadily: There are about 323 cruise ships out there right now, and each one is serving over 20,000 meals a day.That's a ton of food on board these floating cities. And with all that food comes a serious question: how do you manage the supply chain and minimize waste?On the latest episode of The High-EQ Founder, I sat down with Robert Buchanan, the CEO and co-founder of Adhere Gear. His company is on a mission to transform single-use cardboard boxes into "smart" reusable containers. Containers that can actually collect important data about environmental impact, cargo conditions and how efficiently the supply chain is running.Robert and I talked about:▶️ That age-old question: to be a specialist or a generalist — and how it affects the way you build your team.▶️ How he was faced with a sudden health scare - with doctors giving him just a 7% chance of recovery - a year and a half into building his startup.▶️ His belief in creating his own luck and the incredible lengths he goes to prepare when opportunity knocks.It's a conversation filled with grit, determination, and some serious wisdom.Connect with Robert on Linkedin here.Want to know your Founder EQ?
