Episode 81: Rohan (@rohanhirani_) and Jacob (@cjacobswiney) speak with Destin Bell. Destin's gamified fitness app Card.io ignites friendly turf wars-style competition by letting users claim the parts of town they walk, run or bike through. With $1 million raised and executives from MapMyRun and Strava aboard, Bell has secured partnerships with the NBA and others to strategically grow Card.io's 5,300 users across 385 cities and 65 countries. Destin was recently honored with the Forbes 30 under 30 Local 2023: Austin award. We discuss what it means to chase your dreams, why betting on yourself is important, and how to push through difficult times to reach your goals.
