GetMyBoat & CorkSharing with Bryan Petro – Part 2

Ep-195

On Tuesday Bryan gave us the skinny on how he created CorkSharing, but today we’re going to talk about the business itself.

But before we get to the benifits of CorkSharing, both for the consumer, and for the wineries themselves, we listen to some AWESOME stories from GetMyBoat.com and some of the great things people have been able to do with the service.

We also chat about how to start a business by solving your own problems, the differences between self-discovery and researching (and why they’re both awesome) and ask Bryan to share some of his favorite destinations around the globe.

And what good episode wouldn’t end with a travel mishap?!

This is Part 2 of a 2 part interview. To listen to part one, where we discuss more details about creating your own business and GetMyBoat.com click here!

GetMyBoat & CorkSharing with Bryan Petro – Part 1

Ep 194

Bryan Petro has two loves.

Boats, and Wine.

Seems to me like he’s living the life!

Today he joins us to talk about his two businesses, GetMyBoat.com & CorkSharing.com and how they cater to the access mindset.

In Part 1 we focus on GetMyBoat and chat about the sharing economy, what GetMyBoat is exactly and what it covers (they have watersport stuff too!), and what to know before you rent.

Another topic of interest is a lengthy discussion on the entrepreneurial spirit and how to find ideas for businesses.

Part 2 continues on Thursday where we discuss more about CorkSharing and Bryan’s favorite places around the globe!
