“As an entrepreneur, you have to be very comfortable being uncomfortable.” - Ed Petersen

 

Ed Petersen is a seasoned entrepreneur who’s known Naveen for decades, as a business partner and a friend. Now, his Moonshot is to build a revolutionary company that helps people all around the world; and he’s executing on it! This episode is a brilliant case study on building a scalable brand.

 

This episode is packed with lessons, including:

• As a disruptor, never be afraid to ask every single question you have
• The car repair industry is RIPE for disruption; wouldn’t you like to have a mechanic come to your house to fix your car?
• What Ed values in customer experience: brand consistency, quality, and trust
• Imagine AI being able to diagnose your car’s issues… without anyone actually having to look at your vehicle. That’s just part of the future Naveen and Ed discuss
• How do you build a successful—and happy—team?
• Ed’s real-world advice for raising capital to scale your venture
