Talking Headways Podcast: Innovation, Introverts, and Uber Wars

This week we're joined by David Zipper, managing director at 1776 Ventures, a global startup hub based in Washington, DC. A veteran of the Bloomberg administration in New York City and the administrations of Adrian Fenty and Vincent Gray in Washington, David discusses the deal DC struck with Living Social and the introduction of ride-hailing regulations during the city's infamous Uber Wars. We also chat about transportation companies blossoming around the globe and what traits make for great innovators.
