đźš— Lyft's Bold New Strategy (with CEO David Risher)

Lyft’s comeback story ain't Uber’s playbook — it’s something different.

David Risher, Amazon employee #37 and now Lyft’s CEO, joins us to break down the strategy driving Lyft’s turnaround.

This guy has a total TBOY vibe, he's doubled Lyft's stock price, and reveals what proposing to his wife taught him about management (no joke).

Oh, and this Lyft CEO... also drives for Lyft.

But there's so much more. In this interview, David tells us all about:

• His 100-day plan to refocus Lyft on riders and drivers

• How driver cancellations fell from ~15% to ~4.5%

• The story behind Women+ Connect and Lyft Silver

• Lyft’s “situationship” with Waymo (and where self-driving cars fit)

• Why he still drives Lyft — and what he learns from chit-chatting with you in the backseat.
