Cary Bowman

Cary Bowman's career has been anything but linear. From aspiring archaeologist to investment banker to serial entrepreneur, his biggest shift wasn't career—it was how he defined success.

After building Lucky Bastard Distillers from 1,000 to 300,000+ liters annually, he made a deliberate choice: he didn't want to scale at all costs. He wanted his Tuesday to be his own. He redesigned his business to run without him, built a team he could trust, and reclaimed his time and family.

Now Cary is diving deep into AI and technology—with zero formal background—applying the same curiosity-driven approach that built his distillery. He believes failure doesn't matter if you're learning, and that building is fun when it doesn't feel like work. His guiding philosophy: curiosity beats credentials.
