Before I joined Block, I spent two years without an apartment, bopping from city to city as a City Launcher for DoorDash in its early days. I’d basically parachute into a new city and 1) go door to door knocking on businesses' doors to convince them to do delivery 2) sign up and train the drivers, and 3) get the word out to consumers!

In retrospect, this was actually amazing experience for what we are doing right now: building a two-sided marketplace based on new technology, and trying to kickstart a flywheel of adoption through education, marketing but most importantly adding economic value to both consumers and merchants.
