From NASCAR to Junk Removal Empire - Ted Bullard
#podcast #entrepreneur #software #saas #nascar #junkremoval #franchise
Perhaps, in not such a distant future, if you live in the U.S. and have something in your house that you need to get rid of – you will be working with teams or using the product built by my guest today – Ted Bullard.
Ted is a serial entrepreneur with more than two decades of experience in leadership, sales, and marketing. He started his career in franchising by selling wireless and telecom services in Boston. As his career continued to grow, he managed marketing and advertising at NASCAR, Curvature, and TopCoder. Now he's busy running a junk removal franchise, Junk Raider, as well as building a SaaS platform, Service Raider.
In this conversation, I'm hoping to learn about his path and the challenges he's had along the way. I hope you enjoy it!
