  • Summary

  • In this episode of Far From Home, I sit down with Ben Kennedy, the founder of Gecko—a game-changing startup that's modernizing the rental industry. Gecko eliminates the back-and-forth between rental businesses and their clients by offering white-labeled storefronts that streamline the checkout process. Ben's entrepreneurial journey started with small ventures like selling candy and notes in high school, leading him to Techstars, and now, a thriving business with numerous customers and industry partners backing Gecko. We dive deep into Ben's path to becoming a startup founder, the power of manifestation, and the competition in work culture between San Francisco and New York City. We also explore the societal shift towards authenticity in business and beyond.
