In this episode of the Startup Ignition Podcast, we're joined by the legendary Garrett Gee for a surprise interview! Garrett, the co-founder of Scan and father of The Bucket List Family, shares his incredible journey from being a college student who didn't know what "entrepreneur" meant to selling his app to Snapchat for $54 million. He unpacks the entire wild ride: the lightning-fast negotiation with Evan Spiegel, the truth about his Shark Tank appearance, the lessons learned from pitching on Sand Hill Road, and the pivotal moment with Jack Dorsey that changed his life's direction. Garrett also reveals the origin story of The Bucket List Family and what he's building next.
