Journey to CEO, again

Today Adam is joined by Evan Kaplan, CEO of InfluxData. Evan's journey to become the CEO was not by way of founder, in this company. Evan has founded several companies in the past, and he's been in a CEO position for more than 22 years. But InfluxData was founded by Paul Dix, and Paul knew years ago that his role (best role?) was to lead the technical and product direction of the company, which lead him to Evan. Today we share that story as well as a glimpse into operating the business that built the defacto platform for building time series applications with deep roots in open source.
