After a timely break of a few months after completing the first 28-stretch of episodes, How I Got Here returns for its second season.

Nowadays, Rod Cuthbert is a recognizable figure on the conference circuit, an investor and a valuable critic of new businesses and ideas as they come through the Launch and Summit programs at Phocuswright's events.

But he's best known as the co-founder of Viator, Australia's pioneering online booking platform for tours and activities that he created in the 1990s and was involved with until just before its sale to TripAdvisor in 2014.

Pundits still often label the tours and activities the "Wild West" sector in 2020 but in Viator's early days it was almost pre-humanoid.

Cuthbert shares the back story to the creation of the company and its heady growth period in the 2000s as our first guest of season two on How I Got Here.

HIGH is a weekly show produced by PhocusWire and Mozio, aimed at getting the inside stories behind startups and innovation in travel and transportation.

It's hosted by our editor in chief, Kevin May, and Mozio co-founder and CEO David Litwak.
