Safe or Brave #6 Kemar Newell - How building a sneaker marketplace answered a billion $ question

A thousand ’no’s can be the perfect road to a ‘yes.’ A longtime friend and partner, Flip’s founder & CEO and I sat down to discuss how Y Combinator and Planet of the Apps helped him get his pitch just right, and how he leveraged his tech skills to become a key player of a now $6 billion market. We also chat about his history at Apple and Google, how he hit it off with Jessica Alba and why he’s got “sneaker butlers” smelling $20k kicks.
