Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio

Hey everyone, it's Guy here. So today we have another bonus episode from the How I Built This Summit in San Francisco that happened back in October. It's from my live interview with John Zimmer, the co-founder of Lift, and my original conversation with John ran back in February of last year. And if you haven't heard it, you may want to check it out. Because in it, John tells the story of how he launched his first ride sharing service in college. And how he and his co-founder, Logan Green, went on to build one of the biggest ride hailing apps in the world. And I say one of the biggest, of course, because, well, There's Uber!

And it's no secret that those two companies, they have been in a fierce competition pretty much since they launched. It's a rivalry that's up there with You know, Coke and Pepsi or McDonald's and Burger King. And that competition and how it's affected lift? is one of the things I wanted to ask John about when we sat down to talk at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.
