You might remember a guy called Zach Barker.

Zach used to be the director of the startup business incubator, Opportunity Machine. Zach had a basic business philosophy which he summed up in three words, “Get stuff done.” It sounds simple. But in reality, in business, the difference between success and something less is the ability to execute. Ideas are a dime a dozen. Talk is cheap. To succeed you have to get stuff done.

Both of Aileen’s lunch guests on this edition of Out to Lunch Acadiana are unwitting disciples of this Zach Barker philosophy.
