Jonathan Sposato
What Fuels You
Serial entrepreneur, Jonathan Sposato, was the first person in history to sell two companies to Google. Since then, he's become chairman of Geekwire and PicMonkey and has recently made waves in the Seattle community by announcing he will only invest in female-founded companies moving forward. Hear from Jonathan firsthand on how he’s always felt like an outsider but hasn’t let it stop him from achieving incredible success.

Matt Oppenheimer of Remitly
What Fuels You
The consistent theme in Matt Oppenheimer’s life has been people and relationships. When asked what he was ‘into’ in high school, he shares how he started a non-profit called the Youth Lobbying Organization to give people under the age of 18 a voice in the political process. Matt went on to attend Dartmouth and Harvard Business School. During his time working in banking, he lived in London and in Kenya and realized how important remittances are for giving people in developing countries more opportunity. As a result, Matt started Remitly in 2011, which is now the largest private digital remittance company in the US. They’ve raised over $175 million and have quickly grown to have over 800 employees in four different countries. Matt discusses how he gets to know his employees on a deeper level, the impact his family has had on him and his hopes for his daughter, Alice. Even with his impressive career and his successful efforts to make the world a better place, Matt remains incredibly humble. His kind heart is something everyone will feel from this podcast.

Marc Nager & Dave Mayer on building rural startup communities
Give First
This is a fabulous interview with two founders who live and work out of rural communities in Colorado. Nager and Mayer discuss how in the recent years small towns have grown in talent, and starting to breed entrepreneurial communities of their own. This is in part due to people moving back to their hometown,s after making a good living somewhere else, and in part due to different needs for the next generation of entrepreneurs. People who value living, adventure, outdoors and peaceful living, among other things, are all moving to start a new life outside of big cities. This is causing a boom in rural startup communities.
