 3 Takeaways from this Episode —
 Curb Appeal is Mass Appeal:
The pandemic has forced businesses to operate under new rules and increased flexibility. Whether it be increased outdoor seating or inclusion of food delivery, the “curb” has become a vital part of the livelihood of a business hoping to do more than survive during a time of fluctuating mandates and personal comfort levels.[WATCH]
Car Dependency Disruption:In many places in America, a car or two is an assumed necessity for families. The usage of cars, however, is tied to an increase of other space hogging property, such as parking lots. Ride sharing, eclectic bikes, and other alternate options provide the opportunity for urban development to occur with higher efficiency.
[WATCH]Think Outside of the Walls:
The pandemic pivot caused retail stores to no longer have the luxury of focusing purely on the in house experience. Customer service must now be thought of in terms of a complete encounter that begins as soon as the decision is made to be a potential patron of a business.[WATCH]

 Jonah Bliss and Curbivore —
Jonah Bliss has played an integral role in decreasing the carbon footprint of society. His list of accomplishments include helping to launch Turo, a peer-to-peer car sharing business that has taken off in recent years, and working as Director of Marketing for Evelo, an electric bike company.With those experiences in his back pocket, Jonah ventured into the world of live events where he strives to connect the dots of customer service in retail spaces. This is where Curbivore comes in.
“There’s an important conversation that needs to be had here, and people are talking within their silo.”According to Bliss, many companies are operating ineffectively due to them not having an understanding of what their gaps and blindspots truly are because they essentially are not asking the right questions to the right people. Bliss’ goal with Curbivore is to get the entities involved to talk to each other and problem solve from a more informed place.

“Oh, there’s so many things we could be solving if we just kind of were willing to challenge the status quo a little bit.”Jonah Bliss has made a living looking deeper into accepted modus operandi. Whether it’s working with a company that challenges the traditional practice of a single customer getting into their personal vehicle to drive to their location of choice or curating a space where restaurant business minds can be stretched beyond the scope of their four walls, Bliss has perpetually sought to uncover the best practice with the realization that “sometimes there’s a better tool for the job.”The exploration of those better tools is what Bliss is looking to accomplish with Curbivore.

 Curbivore in LA —
Though set in a relaxing outdoor atmosphere in Downtown LA with networking being a foundational purpose, Curbivore’s first in-person activation is intended to be more than a social event.
