Gig Economy

Derreck Stratton is a military veteran and startup founder who connects doers to odd jobs. Instead of asking “who do you know” for a task around the house, the HUDU team built an easier way to find handy folks looking for side hustles nearby.

Like ride sharing, this episode highlights more examples of how the gig economy is evolving. We chat about trust within a two-sided marketplaces, building as a non-technical founder, content creation, and paving a path to go far with activities that look like work to others, but feels like play to you.
