#1921 How this betting site is surviving its second economic meltdown

Joining me is an entrepreneur who launched his company back in 2007. Within a year, we hit that 2008 economic meltdown and the world changed.

And I asked him about it and said, you know, truthfully, I’m in betting so I think things would have been hard for us no matter what. But there’s no doubt that the combination of the two factors really made things difficult for him.

In this interview he talks to me about how it influenced his business and made him into a better entrepreneur.

Jason Trost is the founder of Smarkets, an online betting exchange.
