Immediately out of college, he started a business that failed quickly - but early on, he knew he wanted to do his own thing. His wife and he just moved to Hawaii... they have been a full time travelling couple, following the Spartan Race for quite some time - so obviously they are into trail running! Prior to his latest venture, he signed on to Vibenomics as one of their first employees, early on in their startup inception. He learned a lot about startups - about fundraising, and what it takes to build a successful startup. A few years ago, he and his team figured out that podcast episode discovery is downright terrible. There is no IMDB for podcasts. After some community polling and volunteer participation from a team in Australia, they set out to build Podchaser - which is your source for podcast discovery.
