ABOUT BUCKLEY BARLOW
Hi, I’m Buckley Barlow, founder of IN THE KNOW and someone who’s known for being always ON. I’ve dedicated my life’s work to getting in the trenches with a variety of businesses from disruptive startups to Fortune 50s. In that time, I’ve seen one pattern rise to the surface — the need to stay relevant.
IN THE KNOW began as a passion project for growth-oriented individuals who love all things personal and professional development and has evolved into a jumping-off point for forward-thinking individuals and teams. The goal with each blog post, podcast, or learning path I’ve created here is to help bridge the skills gap and get high performers to the next level. I’m perpetually curious and entrepreneurial with a love for building and growing new ventures and divisions. I have bootstrapped growth for several multi-million dollar ventures and was an early team member of an Inc 500 company that did over $250 million in revenues. When I’m not rolling up my sleeves in new ventures, you’ll find me leading founders, executives, and teams inside disruptive companies that are eager to build, innovate, and grow. As a founding partner at RocketSource, I advise some of the most visible and fastest-growing brands in the world. It’s here that I regularly work with Fortune 500s and disruptive Start-Ups across all points along the S Curve of Growth. I’m proud to have my name as the creator of the StoryVesting framework and the author of The Growth Code: The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Growth in Any Modern Business.
