We share stories, anecdotes, rants and observations about the club and bar scene and engage into a conversation regarding nightlife-related topics and issues. From music and fashion to drinks and people, we discuss the multi-faceted experience that is nightlife. We invite DJs, bartenders, bar managers, promoters and party-goers to participate and tell us their side of the story.
Open For Business
Open For Business is a branded podcast from eBay and Gimlet Creative, about building a business from the ground up. It’s about the stuff no one tells you, the stuff you wish you knew, the stuff you should know when you’re starting a company.
Every episode we talk to people who have been there, and come out the other side, to hear their advice and learn from their experiences. We bring you entertaining and little-known stories that also teach valuable lessons about starting or running a small business.
Open For Business is hosted by John Henry, founder of the startup accelerator Cofound Harlem. He also launched Cofound Ventures, Harlem’s first venture capital fund. Previously, Henry founded and sold his first company, Mobile City, an on-demand laundry startup.
