Startup Hypeman: The GOAT to Market Show

“My phone number’s out there and this photographer calls me, and he was pissed. He had me on the phone for 45 minutes telling me about the industry, and everything that he could. And I listened. And I didn’t really try to defend us. I told him I appreciated all of his feedback, and there were even a couple things that he had said that were actually really good, and it kind of got my gears turning. But if I had went on that defensive mode I wouldn’t have really heard what he was saying, I would have just been trying to prepare my defense and argue with him.”​Jarek Hamilton, Cofounder and CEO of QikPix, joins us.​Find Jarek online at:Visit www.qikpix.io and download QikPix in the app storefacebook.com/qikpixInstagram & Twitter @Qik_Pixjarekhamilton@qikpix.io​Our Season 7 theme song is from Sidewalk Chalk, entitled "Long Time Coming", from their new album An Orchid Is Born.
