This week, Tyler is joined by Adam Lackey, COO of Onebrief, for a conversation on building mission-ready software that operators champion. Adam breaks down how Onebrief’s culture of iteration, empathy, and urgency shapes everything—from watching users stress-test the product to delivering changes in hours, not days.
They dig into Onebrief’s evolution from a kanban board to a full mission-planning platform, why “don’t be the contractor no one wants in the room” is a guiding principle, and how true value comes from mastering workflows, eliminating friction, and meeting users at their exact point of need.
Adam also reflects on the broader purpose of defense tech: preparing so well that capabilities deter conflict rather than drive it.
A candid, practical look at building tools that are as reliable as a rifle—and evolving them at the pace the mission demands.
