39:58

There are not many startups that manage to sign a partnership agreement with a big brand before they even launch. And there are perhaps even fewer new businesses that get details written into the same deal that include how an exit via an acquisition might look. But that's what happened to Boston, U.S.-based FlipKey, when it secured a partnership wi…

DiamondStream Partners, the investment house that they created the ye…

38:07

Stepping into the hot seat of a family-run business that has been operating since the 1920s must be a fairly daunting task. That's what Brett Tollman in 2000 when he became CEO of The Travel Corporation - one of the oldest groups of companies in the travel industry. The business remains privately-owned and now operates in over 70 countries, with ov…

67. Richard Valtr of Mews 50:28

50:28

The unconventional stories of a company's founding are often the most interesting - rather than the fairly formulaic idea-when-traveling-Y-Combinator-seed-investment-route. After studies overseas, Richard Valtr was back in his home country of the Czech Republic and helping with a family project to renovate and build a hotel, when the concept of Mew…

Ep. #70 | One Last Question for Jae & AleXa 31:56

3+ y ago31:56

31:56

Where does the time go? Was it really just yesterday that Jae was jumping in to record podcast episodes during HWAITING? Was it really last year that AleXa became a permanent co-host? Sometimes questions are just hard to answer even with the power of the Internet. But one thing's for certain, we loved the time spent pondering nonetheless. In this g…

HolidayPirates was born in 2012 - essentially as a travel hack for people to find cheap air tickets. This came about after co-founder Sebastian Kaatz (now the companys vice president of special products and projects) got increasingly frustrated about the lack of information online for travelers to get secure decent fares. The content site, based in…

Alex Cruz admits that his career has been centered around people "betting on me" as a leader of businesses.

But it was the lure of creating a brand new airline in the guise of low-cos…

Jae and AleXa hate milk. And it seems like a lot of you do, too. But why? How did we go from being told milk makes you stronger to being warned milk makes you sit on the toiler a little too long?

Fully adult Sam Kim ponders when he will truly *feel* like an adult with fellow adults Jae and AleXa.

46:48

A common thread in Joah Searman's origin story is one of countering adversity. Localeur was born in 2013 with a mission to help people discover and share the best local places to "eat, drink and play" in destinations around the world. A tough market to crack (there have been many brands that have tried and failed along the way), Spearman's commitme…

Ep. #65 | Is Organic Food Actually Better For You? 30:13

3+ y ago30:13

30:13

Some say that abs are made in the kitchen as in healthy food literally creates a healthy body. And we've seen the term "organic" thrown around and slapped on labels. But what does it actually mean? And does it actually have a positive effect on our health apart from the environmental benefits?Thank you SongPop 2 for sponsoring this episode! Visit h…

61. Juan de Antonio of Cabify 37:44

3+ y ago37:44

37:44

Ride-hailing services such as Grab, Uber and Lyft have captured a disproportionate amount of attention since their respective launches. It's easy to say this because Spain-based Cabify has fairly quietly gone about its business and created a widely-used service in its home market and successfully expanded to Latin America. The company was formed in…

Ep. #63 | Does My Handwriting Reflect My Personality? 24:50

3+ y ago24:50

24:50

AleXa sits down and gets to writing because in this episode, we observe handwriting. It's been both used and tossed as poor evidence in courtrooms but is there something to this old method of analyzing a person's script? Probably not but what we do determine is that dotting your "i"s with perfect circles is a time killer.This week's episode is spon…

34:24

Duffel has generated a fair amount of buzz since it came on the scene in 2017. In part, this was due to a strategy to try and keep "stealthy" during its early phase of building a next-generation airline distribution platform. It eventually emerged into the public eye with a sizeable investment round (it has since raised over $56 million in capital)…

17:53

For most people living in or even nearby large cities, they may have seen their fair share of E-Scooters. These are electronic scooters that are accessible via an app so that people may ride and ditch them for their leisure. But are they worth potentially congesting busy streets or our neighborhoods?
