In this episode of Amplified CEO, host Richard Stroupe sits down with General Robert S. Cooley, Jr.—retired U.S. Army Brigadier General, co-founder of neurodata science company Nuream, and owner of two of Wilmington's favorites: Apple Annie’s Bake Shop and The Wine Sampler. Rob shares insights from his 37 years of military service, his early start in entrepreneurship, and his experience navigating everything from biotech exits to his "Main Street" bakery. He also reflects on Wilmington’s tight-knit startup ecosystem, the importance of mentorship, and how lessons from the battlefield continue to shape his approach to business and leadership today.
