S6 E4: Mike Boufford, Greenhouse

Mike Boufford has no hobbies anymore, and for good reason... he has two 6 month old daughters and a 3 year old toddler, so its an exciting and very busy time for the family. He used to play guitar and enjoyed cooking, but now he exclusively focuses on family and work. His family loves to go to the park and taking walks around the neighborhood. Along with that, they sing songs, read stories, doing art projects and with the 3 year old, Mike does dramatic play. Recently, his daughter was Belle from Beauty and the Beast, and promptly decided that Mike was Gaston. He's not sure if that means she thinks he is arrogant or the strongest man she knows. When Mike interviewed at a large company, he expected that there would be some sort of structured process and for it to be organized. He found out it wasn't... he chatted with multiple people, who all asked him the same questions. When approached to join a team, and build something to solve these problems - it took him no time at all to figure out he could build something better. This is the creation story of Greenhouse.
