It’s not often you stumble across a ten-year-old New Zealander hosting a business podcast, but then again, most ten-year-olds aren’t like self-proclaimed budding entrepreneur Eli Smit. After discovering Smit as our Emerging Talent, we will be hosting season two of Smit’s podcast on Idealog. In this episode, Smit chats with Flamingo Scooters co-founder Nick Hyland about  taking on the world of last-mile transport through Flamingo Scooters. In the face of major competition from global companies like Lime and Uber, Flamingo Scooters already have over 1,200 scooters across 3 major cities in New Zealand.
