Living The Red Life
Nick Huzar on Innovation, Failure & the Treasure Hunt That Became OfferUp

you know, kind of real just shopping. I have an intent. I'm in there to get my thing and I'm out. Like they just kind of browse. So pretty, pretty often. And so for us, I think the next leg for us is giving people even more reasons to come back. Like, man, I need services on my house or I need local jobs or, you know, I'm a small business owner. How do I drive more people into my establishment?

Well, I think because they have so much engagement, it's worth trying these different verticals and seeing if our customers like it. And so, you know, I think we'll constantly be trying new things and seeing, you know, and seeing if people find it really valuable. But I think that's one of the advantages we have because we are a top of mind brand and people come back.

Yeah. I mean, I think all companies need to keep growing. Like no one ever sits in stasis. If you sit in stasis too long, you're just slowly dying, in my opinion. And so that becomes hard as companies get bigger because they do become risk adverse. Things can slow down the machine. And so you sometimes need to just lean in and take calculated bets and see what's going to work.

And then someone's like, well, what if we just put this on? What if we kind of use this? What are we going to do with all this? Right. So sometimes that's how good ideas come about.
