Marketplace Mayhem - The Daily Marketer

Business & Economics Podcasts

Welcome back! For Season 3 of The Daily Marketer, we decided to do something special. Early 2021, startup junky & marketplace master, Ty Wolfe-Jones, pitched us the idea of instead of interviewing founders & marketers, why don’t we dive into the world of marketplaces, the “VH1 Behind The Music” of Uber, Doordash, Rover, and other marketplace legends? Ty could bring the operations perspective, I could bring the marketing lens, and together we could make some marketplace MAGIC! Or maybe it’s a little more like marketplace MAYHEM (Dracula cackles in the distance). Alas, Marketplace Mayhem was born. Enjoy and as always, give us some candid feedback in the form of a review.
