Clarence is the Founder & CEO of Upsie, which is a free mobile app that now gives us the power of making warranty decisions directly to the consumer. Clarence has worked with several startups and Fortune 500 companies & previously helped launch other ventures.

He had this frustrating laptop warranty experience, and realized there was a significant opportunity to reinvent the warranty industry. And so using his wealth of business knowledge and new found passion for improving the warranty experience, he worked to make warranty purchasing simple, fun and educational for consumers.

In this episode, we discussed: 

• What inspired Clarence to get into entrepreneurship
