In 2013 Colin Hodge was one of the most written about startup founders, because of his company’s suggestive name, Bang with Friends, and because of his masterful use of PR. Then Zynga sued him. Apple banned his app. And he had to lay off everyone on his team. This is the story of how he bunkered down in South America, worked by himself and rebuilt his company — and himself. The result was Down, a revenue generating dating app that he sold to Paktor.

I’m noticing there’s a revolution happening in online entrepreneurship. It’s happening with physical goods the same way it happened with companies like Airbnb before anyone even realized it was a revolution. Entrepreneurs get an idea for a physical product and very often they’ll go to Kickstarter but more often than that they’ll start on Amazon. Today’s guest is a founder who had an idea for a side hustle and it ended up being a really big business. Erik Howe is the cofounder of Sic which makes cups that have a double-walled stainless steel technology that keeps your drinks ice cold for 24 hours.
