GrubHub co-founder Mike Evans started the food delivery service in his apartment and left, 12 years later, after a $2.1 Billion IPO. Along the way, he's transformed the way consumers interact (or don't interact) with restaurants, learned the "real way" to apologize, and is focusing his efforts on providing salaries, benefits, equity, continuous training, and progressive career opportunities to folks entering the building trades. 

After the podcast, learn more about Mike's career and his 4,000-mile coast-to-coast bike trip in Hangry: A Startup Journey.
