In this episode, Jeremy interviews Marc Hostovsky, founder of Minoan, who formerly worked at Jet.com (acquired by WMT in 2016 for $3.3B) where he managed a $400M omnichannel P&L and gained experience in both traditional retail (WMT) and eCommerce (Jet.com). With over a decade of retail experience, Marc recognized an opportunity to transform the relationship between suppliers and consumers, particularly short-term rental hosts. This led to the creation of "Native Retail," which turns spaces like short-term rentals, gyms, and restaurants into product showrooms. Minoan, featured in TechCrunch, Forbes, and Sunset Magazine, offers hosts a free, all-in-one ordering platform for efficient furnishing. Hosts can access discounts from 200+ brands and avoid logistical hassles. What sets Minoan apart is its ability to help hosts make their short-term rentals shoppable, allowing guests to purchase items from their stay and hosts to earn extra income.
