About this episode
When Uber first launched in most US cities, it didn’t have legal permission to operate – the ultimate example of moving fast and breaking things. Katie Wells, author of Disrupting D.C.: The Rise of Uber and The Fall of The City, joins to discuss the impact the ride-sharing giant has had on cities ever since as it grows to more than 100 million monthly active users and achieved a profitable year in 2023.
Join our host Mark Dent, for an in-depth conversation with Wells.
