With a passion for policy and business that started with an interest in Watergate, Linda Thrasher, co-founder of Greenfield Nitrogen, discusses the common thread in a career that has been everywhere. From law school to working as a legislative aid in D.C., and corporate lobbying for Cargill to entrepreneurship, she has an appetite for risk and taking the road less traveled. Along the way, she learned just how hard entrepreneurship can be but always focused on her family to stay grounded, while sharing the lessons she learned and planning for what’s next.
