Rideshare Rodeo Podcast w/guest Ken O'Donnell 
This week on the podcast we discuss Uber moving to upfront pricing, and why they stepped away from the rate card. We also dive into to Colorado data dump related to the Rideshare Senate Bill SB24-075. Ken has researched the data on drivers in Colorado and found some note worthy points. Still more to dive into and get through, but its a great start.
