Welcome to Episode 3 of Trash Talk! ♻️
In this episode, we sit down with Brandon Lapsys, President of Viably (formerly CompTEC Americas), to explore how technology and leadership are driving change in construction and demolition recycling.
Brandon shares his journey from Boy Scouts recycling drives to building one of the most innovative machinery and plant solution companies in the game. We get into the real-world challenges of scaling new tech, the importance of grit, and what it means to be a true partner in the waste industry.
We also cover:
• Why end markets and automation go hand-in-hand
• What it takes to lead in a fast-evolving space
• How Viably is shaping the future of waste solutions
• And why grit might be the most underrated hiring trait of all
Big thanks to Brandon for the honest perspective and deep industry insight. Enjoy the episode!
