Lowell, AR founders on the NWA Founders podcast

2 business owners from Lowell, Arkansas interviewed on NWA Founders, the Northwest Arkansas business podcast.

Lowell sits on I-49 between Rogers and Springdale, in the middle of the region's logistics and trades corridor. The Lowell guests on the show build the systems other companies depend on, and they run those businesses from here.

Cameron Magee started avad3 with a single audio-visual setup and church events, and grew it into an event production company that works Fortune 500 stages and has been called in by the White House. His episode is about growing slowly on purpose, and about quality control as the thing that sets a company apart. John Musser runs Custom Electronics, an audio-visual integration company he grew to about a hundred people without taking on debt, hiring for grit rather than credentials and treating culture as the product.

Two conversations from Lowell so far.
