Episode notes

In the us, how we view independence is almost entirely through vehicle. In other countries, o access to various forms of mobility is viewed as independent. I think we have worked into a war in the sense that congestion because cars suck up so much open space. And yet they really, really suck it allowing people to move through them. So if you get any kind of density, then you have massive congestion.

Mobility-focused venture capitalist Olaf Sakkers has been a friend of the show for a long time, which is the only reason Kirsten, Alex and Ed agreed to read something called "The Mobility Disruption Framework." We're glad we did though, because Sakkers is far from the kind of empty-headed, buzzword-spouting consultant who has given "mobility disruption" a bad name. Olaf joins this week's episode to explain his funny, insightful book about the trends and technologies transforming the ways we get around, which you can read for yourself at www.yellow.cab.
