Josh Luber is the founder of StockX, the world's first online consumer “Stock Market of Things” for high-demand, limited-edition products featuring a live marketplace where participants anonymously buy and sell limited-edition consumer products such as sneakers, watches, clothing, handbags, and trading cards.

In this episode, we talk about everything from Josh’s formative years and how going to law school helped him become a better problem solver, the various business ventures he’s had throughout his life, how the industry for sneakers and trading cards has evolved over the last 30 years, the insane story of how he met Dan Gilbert (owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers and founder of Quicken Loans) who he ultimately co-founded StockX with out of pure serendipity, why building a stock market model makes so much sense for the business, why certain sneakers and trading cards resell for thousands or millions of dollars, building a $1 billion company in just 3 years, why he stepped down as CEO in 2019, and what he envisions the future of the company as well as e-commerce and new product launches, in general, to look like.
