    • Entrepreneurship

Pete Kight is a founder unlike any other. After dropping out of college, Pete started running a chain of gyms and after spending time with a few banker friends his eyes opened to the promise of the newly rolled out ACH method for payments. Mind you, this was in the mid 70s, when the foundations of the internet were only just being built. Dan and Pete discuss the journey of bootstrapping a business and the determination it takes to see it through to a close.
