Born in Birmingham, AL, McConnell was raised in a neighborhood built on a former tobacco field with a population of ~50,000. He graduated from Harvard College, Harvard Law School, and the University of Cambridge with honors, all while becoming a member of the USA Open Water Swimming National Team and earning an international Bronze Medal. Andrew worked as a banker, attorney, and consultant before finally finding success as an entrepreneur. Andrew eventually took the company he founded, Rented.com, from less than $200,000 in revenue to nearly $10 million in under three years. Rented is now a two-time Inc. 500 winner, and the growth continues. Andrew is a regular contributor to Inc., Forbes, USA Today, Huffington Post, Betterment, Skift, and Curbed. Before today’s discussion, a quick show note. I’ll soon be hosting monthly meetups for the group Greater Philadelphia Travel: Credit, Miles, and Points in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. Following a successful trial run in November, the first official monthly meetup will occur in early January 2023. Find more information at meetup.com/phillymilesandpoints.
