About this episode
Mike Evans founded GrubHub in his spare bedroom and turned it into a multi-billion-dollar online food delivery company. He left the company shortly after it successfully went public in 2014. Currently, he is working on his second startup – Fixer.com. Mike and his team at Fixer are building a "handyperson" business that looks a lot like GrubHub – easy online ordering, good communication, and great quality control.
On today’s episode, Mike talks about his new book, “Hangry: A Startup Journey,” which reveals the inside story behind the creation of GrubHub and provides lessons for entrepreneurs and startups that Mike learned on the fly. Plus – Jim and Mike discuss defining success for yourself, having the courage to move on from things that aren’t working and the importance of hard work, perseverance and grit.
