Chris Meaux is Chairman of the Board at Boom Nation Inc and Mallard Bay. He was also one of the Founders of the food delivery service app, Waitr. Chris was at the forefront of technology, starting out building computers to diving into his corporate career at Hyundai Electronics and then Macafee right after graduating from Louisiana State University. Later he went on to start and end multiple business ventures; finally getting his big break with the idea of Waitr, stemming from one of his previous businesses - Meaux 2 Geaux - and another idea from a college student at an entrepreneurial startup weekend in Florida. So many stories in this episode and we appreciate Chris for being honest when sharing his journey, not skipping over the failures along the way.
