#25: I’m interviewing Ankur Jain, the CEO & founder of Bilt Rewards, the first-ever rewards program along with a credit card that lets you earn points on rent without any transaction fees or charges. He fought relentlessly to change regulations to be able to make his business idea happen, and in less than a year, he had built a billion-dollar company: Bilt. Ankur and I discuss the single most important thing you need to build a successful company (and no, it’s not just about having a good business idea!), and he gives us networking tips for and his top travel hacks as a self-proclaimed travel enthusiast.
