The Operator's Code

The Operator's Code unpacks the leadership instincts behind the honor code — the internal standards high-trust founders live by when the pressure is high. Every great organization is a reflection of its leader. Their values. Their discipline. Their willingness to make hard calls, keep their word, and build systems that carry their character even when they're not in the room. This is a long-form, one-on-one conversation show with founders and operators who have built real companies, faced real pressure, and kept their code intact. No fluff. No hype. Just hard-won lessons from people who take ownership seriously — preserved for the next generation of leaders who need to hear how it's done. Hosted by Scott Bowman — 30-year operator, Army veteran, and someone who has spent his career helping companies stop running on chaos and start running on principle. New episodes every Wednesday.
