NXT 114 - Chris Meaux | BoomNation, Mallard Bay, Waitr

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.<br/><br/>Follow Us On Social!<br/>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheNXTEntrepreneur<br/>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenxtentrepreneur<br/>LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-nxt-entrepreneur<br/><br/>NXT #114 is Sponsored by<br/>Castro Real Estate Services: https://www.latter-blum.com/<br/>Turn Key Solutions: www.tks.la/NXT<br/>MBD Automation: https://www.mbdautomation.com/<br/>Pivotal, LLC: https://www.pivotalperforms.com/<br/>MFB Firm: https://mfbfirm.com/<br/><br/>Season 3 of NXT is Proudly Presented by b1 BANK<br/>www.b1bank.com/<br/><br/>The NXT Entrepreneur is Produced by Propel Production Studio<br/>www.propelyourstory.com/<br/><br/>Bio<br/>The NXT Entrepreneur Podcast shares the stories of an entrepreneur’s journey and the lessons learned from the successes as well as the failures.
