Hey, it’s Will Lawson, host of Far From Home. In this episode, I’m sharing a crazy experience from my first night in San Francisco. After a delayed flight, I ended up wandering the streets at 1 AM, hungry and in need of some late-night food. But this story isn’t just about a late-night adventure—it's also about the lessons I’ve learned in my startup journey. I talk about why "It’s not about how you feel; it’s about what you do" and how "Consistency will get you where you want to go."
If you’re navigating the ups and downs of entrepreneurship or just looking for some real talk on what it’s like to build a startup far from home, you’ll want to tune in to this episode. Let’s dive in!

In this episode of Far From Home, I sit down with Ben Kennedy, the founder of Gecko—a game-changing startup that's modernizing the rental industry. Gecko eliminates the back-and-forth between rental businesses and their clients by offering white-labeled storefronts that streamline the checkout process. Ben's entrepreneurial journey started with small ventures like selling candy and notes in high school, leading him to Techstars, and now, a thriving business with numerous customers and industry partners backing Gecko. We dive deep into Ben's path to becoming a startup founder, the power of manifestation, and the competition in work culture between San Francisco and New York City. We also explore the societal shift towards authenticity in business and beyond.
