Tacos And Tech Podcast

Meet James Martin, founder and CEO of Rally Corp., a messaging platform that engages customers by shortening the feedback loop. James, a former Texas police officer, entered the tech world after he drew the short stick to reset computers in his department. His sergeant suggested he get a degree in technology, which eventually led him to business analysis in the public safety industry. James eventually joined Tyler Technologies and helped take it from 30 employees to a public company. James moved to San Diego to start Monk Development in 2007 and built it with Etienne de Bruin for eight years until selling it in 2015. He then took a year off, only to start Rally Corp. shortly after. In the episode, you’ll learn how Brant Cooper and Jeremiah Gardner, authors of The Lean Brand, inspired him to name his new company.   Some of James’ favorite San Diego haunts:   Favorite tacos: The Taco Stand and Taco Surf Favorite brewery: Council Brewery in Kearny Mesa Favorite coffees: James Coffee Favorite Business book How To
