Harnessing FOMO and his love of live events, Evan Samet founded Ticket Insider - a secondary ticket reselling platform established in 2013. Juggling the rigors of undergraduate academia with growing and maintaining a business can be difficult, but Samet is here to tell you it's worth it! 

"The best time to found a business is in college. You don't need to worry about how you are going to make a dollar tomorrow; you don't have a family to support. Take the risk!"

Samet sold Ticket Insider to a company that cannot be named in 2018, and is now the vice president of purchase and market analysis for Key Investment Group.

In this episode, Evan and Jon discuss the future of the live entertainment industry, the challenges of running a business centered around in-person events, and how college is the best time to try to start a business.
