For me, one of the biggest challenges was pulling myself more out of the finance side because that was just naturally where I came from and what I felt the most comfortable in.

And so now from a day-to-day perspective, I still work very close to with the CFO, but I manage most of the other departments and I try to make sure that I just build a lot of trust with the managers of those teams, right?

And that's the only way to extract yourself from those decisions and all those meetings is making sure that you have the right people and have a great

communication line with to make sure that you can trust them to make those decisions. Welcome to the Second in Command Podcast, produced by the COO Alliance and brought to

you by its founder, Cameron Herald.

In the second in command podcast, we talked to top COOs

who share the insights, strategies, and tactics

that made them the chief behind the chief.

And now, here's your host, Cameron Harold.

All right, so we've got a great episode today. We have Scott Buchanan, who is the

COO for Bitcoin Depot. They are a digital

ATM service all over North America. They're in Canada and the United States and they provide a crypto service for people that are

traditionally kind of underbanked. So the people that can't really take money out of their

bank account and deposit it. They are not a coin, they're not a shit coin, they are not an exchange like

FTX or coin base. They are literally like the ATMs that you see where you go in and you buy, take

out money. This is a place where you bring money money you put it into the ATM and you walk away with

Bitcoin which is a really really cool service about 50 million dollars in profit in the company

last year they just took the company public they're on the NasDAQ, and you're going to love learning from them and learning from Scott into their growth.

He joined the company when there were only 10 employees, there's 200 people there now.

I think you're really going to enjoy the episode. You'll really enjoy learning about this space.

They have 25% of the current US market and they're just continuing their growth.

So we'll see you on the inside.
