Episode Description

Mike Grochol certainly upended expectations and the way things traditionally get done in government contracting.  The traditional GovCon path is to start small and work up, but Mike went big from the outset… and in so doing, he beat all of the big-named firms to win a $500m innovation contract for US Special Operations Command.  Mike and Lauren talk about how Mike’s naturally Unruly nature led to his outsized success and eventual sale to one of those big firms, GDIT, only a few years after his founding.
