S2E11 - Simon Franks, ex-Founder @ LOVEFiLM (acq. Amazon) & Founding Partner @ Redbus
Delighted to announce that Riding Unicorns will be joined this week by one of the most prolific entrepreneurs and angels in the UK, Simon Franks, Partner at Redbus.
The LOVEFiLM co-founder sat down with us to discuss his time at the popular DVD-by-mail provider, his plans to revolutionise the rental car space whilst on the Board at Europcar and the difficulties involved in modern day philanthropy. The conversation ended with our now infamous dinner party question. Sticking to form Simon displayed true gumption and did away with the limit of three and instead opted for a whole raft of guests including several religious figures, a couple of legendary actors and a number of artist icons, making it without a doubt one of the most fascinating hypothetical dinner parties we have ever heard on Riding Unicorns.
The full episode with Simon can be found on Apple + Spotify. Make sure to like and subscribe to the Riding Unicorns podcast to never miss an episode.
