1 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: The new service from General Motors that lets you rent 2 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: out your own car to other people. Think Airbnb, but 3 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:11,639 Speaker 1: for your car. 4 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 2: What's going on. I'm Rich Dmiro. 5 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 1: This is Rich on Tech and joining me today is 6 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: Akshay Jay Singh. He is Maven's West Coast regional manager, 7 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 1: to talk about a new way to make some extra money. 8 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 2: Akhay, welcome to the show. 9 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 3: Thank you, Rich. 10 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: So tell me about Maven. This is under GM's Maven brand. 11 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,239 Speaker 1: I've done stories with them before. This is sort of 12 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 1: started out as kind of Maven's by the hour car 13 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: sharing rental service, but now it's expanding to peer to 14 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: peer and it's going to be coming to the city 15 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: of Los Angeles by the end of the year. Tell 16 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: me first off, what Maven's all about. 17 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 3: Sure, you know, we are seeing a pretty strong growth 18 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 3: in demand for access to cars, like through car sharing. 19 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 3: We're also seeing a change in consumer behavior with the 20 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 3: growth and right sharing, and one of them the key 21 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 3: drivers is, you know, urban population growth is on the rise. 22 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 3: Right especially millennials value the access to a car versus ownership, 23 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 3: and that's really where Maeven comes in. We are a 24 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 3: mobility as a service brand and in the last two 25 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 3: years that we've been in LA. We have a Maven 26 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 3: car sharing offering where we offer hourly rentals, you know, 27 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 3: very teamless. You don't need to have the access to 28 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 3: the keys. All you do is you download the Maven apps, 29 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 3: sign up with us one time, and then you can 30 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 3: see what cars are in your vicinity, walk up to 31 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 3: the car the phone, access the key fob, and you 32 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 3: get teamless access to a car loaded with technology. It's 33 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 3: across our portfolio for Chevrolet, Buegg, GMC and Cadillac products, 34 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 3: and that program is called as Navan Car Sharing, which 35 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 3: has been doing great over the last two years. We 36 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 3: also have a Maven Gig offering where we offer weekly 37 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 3: rentals to write share and deliveried drivers, which has also 38 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 3: been growing exponentially. So, you know, with all this experience, 39 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 3: and you know, over three hundred and thirty million miles 40 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 3: driven on the Mavan platform, close to two hundred thousand reservations, 41 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 3: we've learnt a lot about customer preferences, and now what 42 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 3: we're launching is called as Navan Peer and maybe in 43 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 3: Peer allows any GM owner with a twenty fifteen model 44 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 3: layer or newer car to place their own car on 45 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 3: the Maven platform. To leverage a member base and to 46 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 3: make some money on their personal asset. 47 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 2: Okay, So and let me explain. 48 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: So I know there's some people listening that are thinking, Okay, rich, 49 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: this sounds crazy. Number One, I'm not going to rent 50 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: out my own car. I don't want other people in it. 51 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 2: Okay. So that's one concern. 52 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 3: You know. The interesting aspect is ninety five percent of 53 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 3: the time our cars are sitting idle. Right, Like, you 54 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 3: use your car, and you obviously want it when you 55 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 3: need it, like early in the morning. You know you've 56 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 3: got to do school drop offs, you've got to go 57 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 3: to work, pick up your kids, but there's that window 58 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 3: of opportunity where your car is sitting idle. So the 59 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 3: whole premise is that you know, as you think about it, 60 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 3: and with the right technology and the member base that 61 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 3: goes with it, you could potentially monetize your asset while 62 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 3: you're not using it. You could still make sure that 63 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 3: you block off the times when you need your own car, 64 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 3: and then the car would not be available to a 65 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 3: third party or to you know, another member to rent, 66 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 3: but you could make it available depending on your schedule. 67 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 3: So I would say it wouldn't work for everyone and 68 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 3: every instance, like you mentioned the example in New Jersey, 69 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 3: New York. You know, it potentially makes a lot of 70 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 3: sense because you have public transit, you still want access 71 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 3: to a car or a larger car on certain occasions. 72 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 3: You know, if you're living somewhere in LA and you 73 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 3: have one car and you know it's pretty highly utilized 74 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 3: between your family, you could still look at certain windows 75 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 3: of opportunity. So it's pretty as a platform that gives 76 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 3: you that ability. Also, you know, we're trying to take 77 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 3: out the risk from you as the owner because we 78 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 3: offer or Maven offers the insurance for the duration of 79 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 3: the rental up to a million dollars including collision damage 80 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 3: as well as liability insurance. So you know, it's pretty 81 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 3: much making it easier for you to put your car 82 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 3: on the platform and try it out at a lower risk. 83 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: Okay, So the cars that are eligible right now, you've 84 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 1: got GM's for brands, so that's what you've got, Chevy, 85 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: you've got Cadillac. 86 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 2: What's the other two? 87 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 3: Do it can GMC? 88 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: Okay, So if you have one of those cars has 89 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: to be a twenty fifteen or newer. Obviously, no manual transmission. 90 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: I assume your car has to have on Star for 91 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: this to work as well. 92 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 3: Absolutely, and we actually offer on staff. So even if 93 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 3: you had your own on Star account associated to your car, 94 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 3: if you plan to list it on Mave and Peer, 95 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 3: what were do is we would actually this enroll the 96 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 3: car from your personal account and add it onto the 97 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 3: Mavene account because on Star is a key enabler for 98 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 3: this technology. 99 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: To work, right, because that gives you the cellular connection 100 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: which allows people to find your car the GPS tracking 101 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: also unlock it and then also when they're in your car, 102 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: they get use of your your hot spot as well. 103 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 3: Huh correct, So that's one of the other reasons that 104 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 3: we enroll the car onto the maven account because we 105 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 3: do offer pogsd Wi Fi as standard across you know, 106 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 3: every maven car on the platform. 107 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: So is there anything I need to install in my car? 108 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: If let's say I have, you know, a twenty sixteen 109 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: Chevy Cruise with on Start, Do I need anything extra 110 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: to install on there? 111 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 3: Yes? 112 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: You do. 113 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 3: So the way the process works is, you know, any 114 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 3: member who's interested in listing their car on Mave and 115 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 3: Peel would go to our website. They'll fill out a 116 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 3: quick form, you know, just informing us pretty much what 117 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 3: you said, like, Hey, this is the modelayer, this is 118 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 3: the wind details. We'll do a quick check on our 119 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 3: end to ensure that the product is compatible, and then 120 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 3: a mave an onboarding mentor actually calls the interested person 121 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 3: and explains the program a little bit more in detail, 122 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 3: and then we schedule an appointment with a technician from 123 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 3: our team who will come down pick up the car, 124 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 3: and we install a specific gadget to the vehicle that 125 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 3: allows this keyless access to your car. There are certain 126 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 3: models that are not compatible with keyless access, but we 127 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 3: do have a solution for that as well. 128 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 2: And does that cost me anything. 129 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 3: Currently nothing, So it's it's pretty low risk. You know, 130 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 3: we are bearing the initial upfront costs for the technology 131 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 3: that enables the seamless access. 132 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 1: Okay, so if I live in apartment building in let's 133 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: say Santa Monica West, Los Angeles, one of these crowded areas, 134 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: and I can get to work let's say, on a 135 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: I don't know, on a scooter and my car sits 136 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: at my place a day. I mean, it's really kind 137 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: of worth it to try this out, if you don't 138 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: mind the idea of being part of the sharing economy. 139 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 3: Absolutely, yep, that would be a great use case. Right, 140 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 3: you still want your car for weekend trips or you 141 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 3: know what have you, you know, the occasional running of errands, 142 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 3: but your car sitting idle for most of the time, 143 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 3: then that would be a perfect candidate, you know, to 144 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 3: try it out. Like I mentioned, you know, we install 145 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 3: the technology, we enroll your carn on Star. You can 146 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 3: decide what time of day you want to make the 147 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 3: car available for public use and try it out. 148 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: So I get to set my own rate, but obviously 149 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: you're going to help me with some suggested rates. So 150 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: if it's a sort of a compact or standard car 151 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: like a Chevy Cruz seven twenty five an hour, eighty 152 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: dollars a day, a pickup truck fourteen to fifteen hour, 153 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty five a day, a Camaro which 154 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: is sort of a high end car nice car twenty 155 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: two to fifteen hour or two twenty five a day, 156 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: how much can I make renting my car? And what's 157 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: kind of the profit split here between me and Maven? 158 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 3: Right, so the owner makes a majority of the revenue, 159 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 3: Maven still keeps us small percentage just because you know, 160 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 3: we offer the insurance, the technology, and the service. It's 161 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 3: a sixty forty split, so the owner keeps sixty percent 162 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 3: of all revenue and Mayven takes forty percent. And in 163 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 3: terms of, you know, just the overall experience, you know, 164 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 3: we install the tech and ensure that you know, the 165 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 3: car is good to go, we'll test it with you 166 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 3: before it's on the platform. 167 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: And what's been the response to this and the other cities. 168 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: Have people been signing up to use it? And do 169 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: people like it on both ends? 170 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 3: You know? And we launched a data in Detroit initially 171 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 3: and the response was overwhelmingly positive. In fact, we're pleasantly 172 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 3: surprised by the number of hand raisers we got so early. 173 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 3: It's still early days, but we are very encouraged by 174 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 3: the success of the program so far. Like you mentioned, 175 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 3: you know, there's a lot of people who own you know, 176 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 3: the premium cars like a a Carvette, like a Camaro, 177 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 3: and they really value that possession, but they also realize that, hey, 178 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 3: it's sitting idle for more than ninety five percent of 179 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 3: the time. Could I rent it out and make some money? 180 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 3: And so we do have some exciting you know products 181 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 3: getting added to the platform, and also, you know, kind 182 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 3: of expanding our geographical footprint from just the downtown core 183 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 3: to some of the surrounding neighborhoods in Detroit, and I 184 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 3: see a similar I hope to see a similar pattern 185 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 3: in LA as well. 186 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: Are we seeing a paradigm shift when it comes to 187 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 1: car ownership. I mean, you know, we've seen obviously these 188 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: ride sharing services you know, take effect. We've seen the scooters, 189 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: We've seen the last mile issue being tackled in a 190 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: lot of major cities public transportation, people living closer to 191 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 1: where they work sometimes. So are we in the middle 192 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: of a paradigm shift now that people are comfortable with 193 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 1: the idea of renting out their own car to other folks. 194 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, I think you know, there's it's obviously, and 195 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 3: it depends on every you know, region. We see it 196 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 3: more in the dense urban areas where you have a 197 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 3: lot of options, like if you have public transit, you know, 198 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 3: you have ride sharing, you have the scooters. People are rethinking, 199 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 3: you know, car ownership, right, They're they're thinking about should 200 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 3: I really be paying you know, the lease for the 201 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 3: car plus four hundred dollars to park it in a 202 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 3: downtown garage, you know, because you just add up that 203 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 3: and it's about eight nine hundred dollars a month, even 204 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 3: if you never drive the car. Right, So, where in 205 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 3: areas where you have a lot of different options, people 206 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 3: are beginning to think about do I really need to 207 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 3: own a car or can I get access to it? 208 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 3: Now if you live in a suburban area, you know, 209 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,839 Speaker 3: the dynamics are different. But I think people are still 210 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 3: rethinking can they move from a two car household to 211 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 3: maybe a one car household. So it's a slow shift 212 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 3: and it's going to take some time, but you know, 213 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 3: it's definitely trending in a direction which will which I 214 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 3: believe will help us all because you know, congestion is 215 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 3: a huge issue, right, so as we have more shared 216 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 3: assets and you know shared shared cause we know that 217 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 3: from cars sharing, one check car on the road takes 218 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 3: ten cars off the road. So that's really something that 219 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,599 Speaker 3: we're trying to address and also reduce congestion with this program. 220 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I had some family in town and it was 221 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: a weekend. We wanted to go up to Wine Country 222 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: and all I wanted was a Chevy Tahoe in the 223 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: fastest possible way. I could acquire one, and it was 224 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: amazing to me. I knew about Maven, and you know, 225 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: I live kind of in the suburban area, and so 226 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: I was just literally looking at every app, every you know, 227 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: even the major rental car companies, to try to find 228 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: one of these things closest to me on demand. And 229 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: even though I live in a neighborhood, let's say my 230 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: neighbor decides to rent out their car. I mean in 231 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: the future, that's not unforeseen, so I may be able 232 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: to walk five houses down and get the rental car 233 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: I need thanks to a program like this. It really 234 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 1: is interesting when you think about the potential of this 235 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: sort of program. If people are comfortable with it and 236 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: they get on board, it does have the ability to 237 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: change kind of the dynamics of things. 238 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 239 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: Akshay Jay Singh, Maven's West Coast regional manager, thanks for 240 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: joining me today on the podcast. 241 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 2: I appreciate it. 242 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 3: Thanks. 243 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 2: There you have it. 244 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: If you need more information on Maven, you can go 245 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,599 Speaker 1: to their website it's maven dot com, or check the 246 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: show notes, or you can always go to my website 247 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: for the link.
