“Hotline #1”: Investing, job-jumping, salaries, & work-life-imbalance — from your Business Besties Nick & Jack

We brought up a surprise guest for our Live TBOY show in NYC: Marc Lore, the founder of the most iconic ecommerce brands of all time — and the most energetic entrepreneur we’ve ever met…Marc sold Diapers.com to Amazon for $550M, he sold Jet.com to Walmart for $3.3B, he owns an NBA team, he’s building a tech city in the desert, and he just raised nearly $1B for Wonder to disrupt the restaurant industry.He almost left the interview in the middle of the show because he had a business idea he wanted to get a head start on.We’re kidding (but not really). Marc is just that exciting, smart, and unique. So we wanted to share this entire chat from our live performance with you, our whole podcast audience. Because few people in life are as motivating as this legendary New Yorker, Marc Lore.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
