Jason DeFillippoHOST
Yeah, Uber should just buy them all because that's what they've always wanted.
Jason DeFillippoHOST
That's what Travis Kalanick had a heart on for since the day he started Uber, you know? I agree,
Brian SchulmeisterHOST
but I think Uber is smart enough to realize they want one that actually fucking works.
Jason DeFillippoHOST
Yeah, because remember, we're also still working through all of the shit with the NHTSA and the fire departments even who are going after these robo taxis saying, hey, look, if this thing stops in the middle of the street or catches fire, we can't open the doors because it's a button.
Varun BadhwarGUEST
You know, they say founders have this bug.
Varun BadhwarGUEST
I mean, why is Travis Kalanick starting another company after Uber? I feel like us founders have this crazy gene in us and that gene doesn't let us sit comfortably or see and be a part of status quo.
Varun BadhwarGUEST
I feel like the natural instinct is if you see a problem, you want to go fix the problem.
Varun BadhwarGUEST
And in 2021, while we were building this incredible business, I saw a problem.

But this is based on what Travis Kalanick, the founder of Uber, taught me.
Dan MartellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He was an investor and formal advisor to my startup, Flowtown.
Dan MartellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And literally, if you can just look, I mean, I think it was like billions of dollars fundraised for Uber.
Jerry AgarHOST
This is from the BBC.
Jerry AgarHOST
California prominent tech billionaires and executives who moved because of taxation include Google co-founders Larry Page, who moved to Florida, and Sergey Brin, who moved to Nevada, alongside venture capitalist Peter Thiel and former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, have relocated out of the state.
Jerry AgarHOST
Elon Musk personally left California in 2020 to move to Texas.
Jerry AgarHOST
He has relocated the corporate headquarters of his major companies, including Tesla, SpaceX, and X, out of the state.
AidenHOST
So Sergey and Larry, Sergey Brin and Larry Page are two of the people that have done that.
AtriocHOST
Yeah, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Peter Thiel, Travis Kalanick, the guy of Kalanick from Uber.
AtriocHOST
Don Hankey.
AtriocHOST
You know, just like the GOATs.
Mike AndesHOST
But if someone really recommends I read it, it's one of those times like I don't read fiction, but like it's like I just got to I got to finish the book.
Mike AndesHOST
I still remember on Super Pumped, which is Uber's book from Travis Kalanick.
Mike AndesHOST
I could not put it down.
Mike AndesHOST
I was in Chicago on a layover, got canceled, and I read the whole book until like 3 or 4 a.m.
Dan MartellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So what I want to share with you in this video is how I went from literally more introverted, super nervous about reaching out to people, scared that they would say no, that they would judge me, that I would say something stupid if I even had the chance to speak with them, and really the strategies I've implemented today where now I've been privileged to get invited by guys like Richard Branson to spend a week at his house in Switzerland.
Dan MartellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
to have Mark Cuban invest in my company, to have Travis Kalanick, the founder and CEO of Uber, be an investor and mentor in my company Flowtown.
Dan MartellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And just, you know, really when I look at my relationships and the folks that I get to travel around the world with and do incredible things like rally car racing and snowboard and heli trips, kite boarding, I'm not trying to brag but in a week I'm jumping on a private jet and I'm going to eight different cities all around Europe.
Dan MartellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Those kind of things are 100% a byproduct of relationships and people.
Chris SugdenHOST
By the way, shout out to...
Chris SugdenHOST
A recent podcast, The Ramp Podcast, I think his name is David Sedera, interviewed Travis Kalanick, founder of Uber.
Chris SugdenHOST
Amazing discussion.
Chris SugdenHOST
One that I highly recommend to anybody.
Todd PerryHOST
so probably get a little bit of a different perspective, which is cool, but what is your thought leadership philosophy?
Andrew WyattGUEST
So I, I'll say I subscribe for the, the, uh, Travis Kalanick school of thought, which is, uh, if you're really doing things, you don't have time to be talking
Todd PerryNARRATOR
about
Andrew WyattGUEST
things.
Ian MastersHOST
He, of course, believes that welfare recipients are a parasite class and that empathy is the fundamental weakness of Western civilization.
Ian MastersHOST
The California billionaires that are supposedly leaving the state, like Musk, who's moved to Texas, along with Kalanick of Uber, PayPal and Palantir mogul Peter Thiel, he's moved to Miami.
Ian MastersHOST
So far, the wealth of California billionaires has grown by $400 billion so far this year, and yet they're spending a ton of money to defeat Proposition 40, And the alternative propositions that they finance, 41 and 42, if they pass, because whichever one gets the most votes wins, if they pass, then they've set themselves up for life because they've rigged it with 41 and 42 to the point where they run the table forever.
Ian MastersHOST
But you point out that dozens of these Silicon Valley billionaires, I'm reading from your article, organized a private signal chat to defeat Proposition 40.
