Bill Walker’s path to Fort Lauderdale started far from South Florida, aboard merchant ships, competitive sailboats, and high-speed ferries. Along the way, he helped build innovative marine transportation systems before transforming Water Taxi from a five-boat operation into a 15-vessel business serving more than 1.2 million passengers a year.In this episode of Locality’s Making Bank Podcast, Bill shares what 9/11, the financial crisis, and COVID taught him about protecting cash, keeping strong financial records, building an A-player team, and turning plans into progress by learning to “execute ruthlessly.”Book a ride on Fort Lauderdale's Water Taxi by visiting https://watertaxi.com/.
