Former Partners Healthcare CEO Thomas Glynn, Kayak founder Paul English, and Catholic priest J. Bryan Hehir reflect on Jack Connors' legacy.

Paul English is a perpetual founder. Since high school, he's started 3 philanthropies and 8 companies—ranging from e-commerce, to gaming, to GetHuman, a site that helps users access human customer support. His best-known venture is probably KAYAK, a travel website launched in 2004 over two gin-and-tonics with co-founder Steve Hafner. Using a simple interface, KAYAK specialized in search; and it made partners out of potential rivals like Orbitz and Expedia by charging them a fee to send users to their sites. Eventually KAYAK became one of the most-searched "K" words on Google, and in 2012, it sold to Priceline for $1.8 billion. A few years later, Paul started yet another company, Lola.com—and says he plans to launch many more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It may seem like a long time since the COVID lockdowns of 2020 and the sudden pivot to working from home, but our research on the buying habits of consulting clients confirms a lasting legacy of the pandemic on the significance of thought leadership. In December 2022, our global study of more than 3,500 executives in major markets found that over 90% of the C-suite across all regions and industries said thought leadership had at least some impact on their decision making when purchasing professional services.  With levels of thought leadership consumption growing strongly over the last couple of years, firms are thinking more strategically than ever about how to build a thought leadership function that drives brand awareness and reputation. One such firm is Oliver Wyman, whose flagship thought leadership wing, the Oliver Wyman Forum, reaches across industries and geographies, convening senior leaders from business, public policy, academia, and social enterprise to help solve the world's toughest problems.  Today we are delighted to be joined by John Romeo, Managing Partner and Head of the Oliver Wyman Forum, and Paul English, Director of Marketing Advisory here at Source, to discuss the changing needs of thought leadership consumers, and the Oliver Wyman Forum's unique approach.

Understanding the relationship between the consumer and the web is how Paul English grew Kayak and sold it for 1.8 billion dollars. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not so secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, word from our sponsor, which is... Well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients, so here's one of those. [Waukee Feet Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young here with Stephen Semple. And Stephen just told me that we're going to talk about the travel website called Kayak. I don't know their story. The name rings a bell, but I think over the years, I've shied away from most travel websites. Honestly, most of the travel I do is to go visit a client somewhere so I go right to an airline site and just find my ticket. So tell me about Kayak. Stephen Semple: Well, Kayak is a travel website that was started by Paul English and Steve Hafner in 2004. And in 2012, after eight years, it was sold to Priceline for 1.8 billion dollars. Dave Young: Ooh, a nice cash out for those guys. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. They did very, very well. And here's the funny thing, when they launched, they got a whole pile of hate mail from Kayak enthusiasts who hated the fact that they called it Kayak. Dave Young: Because now all of a sudden you can't find info about Kayaks without reading about trips. Stephen Semple: Exactly, exactly. So Paul grew up in a working class family in the south of Boston. He was one of seven kids who lived in a three bedroom house, so it was pretty tight quarters. Dave Young: Oh, yeah. Stephen Semple: His dad was a pipe fitter and his mom was actually sick for much of his life. She had this muscle disorder. And he struggled in school. His grades were bad, but he did tests really well, which allowed him to nail admission tests to get into schools like Boston Latin, which was actually a really hard school to get into. So anytime there was a contest that had a test involved, he nailed it. Dave Young: I can relate to this guy. Yeah. Stephen Semple: I figured you could. That's why I had to share it. And I'm like, "Oh, this sounds like Mr. Young." Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: So in 1981, his mom buys a computer, a Commodore Vic 20. I had a Commodore Vic 20, I remember them. But he took it over and he learned how to code and he started creating a video game. And making games became his first company. He created a company called Speed Games, and he coded a game called This Cupid Game, and he managed to sell it for $25,000. Dave Young: Wow. All right. Stephen Semple: Now here's the unfortunate part. He licensed it to a company that went out of business. So of the 25 grand, he managed to get one check out of them for $5,000. Dave Young: Oh, those bastards. Stephen Semple: One of his challenge is, he would quickly lose interest in things because here he managed to sell this for 25 grand, gets five grand, company goes out of business, and he didn't try to license it to another company. He just lost interest because he had moved on to the next thing. He didn't even try to remarket it. So in university, he goes to Boston, Mass, and he did a lot of freelance work during college. He did a bunch of jobs and he loved it because he did some coding for a medical device company, he did some stuff for spy planes, whole bunch of things. And then at age of 29, he makes his first million dollars in stock options when a company he was working for at the time gets bought out, makes a million bucks. And he goes through, at this time, also a bunch of personal struggles. He got diagnosed as bipolar.

This week, legendary singer-songwriter Ray Wylie Hubbard—one of Willie's oldest running buddies and a founding father of Americana music—talks about the signature song that opens every Willie show, “Whiskey River.” It might as well be the national anthem of Texas, but for Ray it prompts some highly personal, absolutely hilarious memories of times he's heard Willie play it, before sending him deep into that time he was kidnapped by Willie's road crew, the reasons drummer Paul English was NOT a fan of the Eagles...and Willie's smile.

Corby Kummer discussed an Atlantic piece on what we do and don't know about the drawbacks of eating fast. He also talked about the state of COVID-era restaurant policies and some expanded SNAP benefits.

English founded the travel company Kayak and is co-chairing Embrace Boston. Suárez-Orozco is the chancellor of UMass Boston. According to a new piece by Katherine Wu in The Atlantic, there's no scientific evidence that eating fast is worse for you than eating slow. We asked listeners to call in to share their eating habits.

This week, we ring in Willie's 89th birthday with his daughter Paula Nelson, who talks about “Devil in a Sleepin' Bag,” off of his 1973 album Shotgun Willie. It's a song Willie wrote about his longtime drummer and best friend, Paul English—who happens to be Paula's namesake—and it gets her thinking about Paul's dual role as Willie's well-armed money-collector, a gunfight her dad was in, and hanging with Michael Jackson at the “We Are the World” recording session—before closing with some sweet memories of her dad's older sister, pianist Bobbie Nelson.
