About this Episode

In #123 listeners hear from Shelby Clark, Founder of Turo, the world's largest peer to peer, car-sharing marketplace where you can book any car you want, wherever you want it, from a vibrant community of trusted hosts across the US, Canada, and the UK. Most recently, the company was valued at over $1 billion, giving it Unicorn status, as it looks to put the world's 1.5 billion vehicles to better use as the "Airbnb" for cars. Shelby founded the company as a student at Harvard Business School, realizing he could decentralize the Zipcar model by making every vehicle accessible to anybody wherever they are. After stepping down as CEO in 2019, Shelby continues to advise the company as it charges on to reinvent the peer-to-peer model. It's an incredible entrepreneurial story, so don't miss this one!
