Resumen del episodio

Huggy Bear McNiff is head coach at Trevor Kashey Nutrition and he's the Navy SEAL Michael Easter writes about in The Comfort Crisis. Kashey finished his undergraduate degree while he was still in high school and earned a PhD in biochemistry from the University of Arizona at twenty-three. Much of Easter's book revolves around his work, and Huggy has worked alongside him for more than ten years. He got there for a decidedly unscientific reason: he watched another strongman competitor show up looking spectacular out of nowhere and assumed the guy was on drugs. He asked. It wasn't drugs.

In this episode he explains why he doesn't believe in motivation or willpower, why he argues that punishment produces better criminals rather than fewer of them, what separates…

#030 Simón Borrero | El CEO y cofundador de Rappi: 57 fondos le dijeron que no

Simón Borrero es cofundador y CEO de Rappi. Empezó a emprender a los 19 años con doscientos dólares ahorrados y sus primeras cuatro o cinco empresas no funcionaron. Aprendió a programar de noche mientras estudiaba economía, montó un estudio de software que llegó a más de 250 desarrolladores, y de ahí salió Grability, una interfaz de compra de súper que terminó vendiéndole a El Corte Inglés en España y a Reliance en India. Rappi se lanzó en Bogotá en agosto de 2015 y en la Ciudad de México cuatro meses después. El primer día tuvo seis descargas. En esta conversación cuenta qué hicieron esa semana para conseguir usuarios, cómo se sostiene un negocio que pierde dinero durante años, qué pasó cuando 57 fondos seguidos dijeron que no, y cómo se ve por dentro una empresa que estuvo cinco o seis veces a punto de quebrar, incluida una vez con veinte días de caja y novecientas personas contratadas.
