Start It Up Episode 91: Flying Squirrel and Crashpad Anchor Southside

When Dan Rose and Max Poppel launched The Crashpad, they were urban pioneers.  Five years later, they have also opened The Flying Squirrel and watched Southside development boom all around them.  Today their cool hostel and restaurant continue to win acclaim from fans near and far.

On this episode, Dan and Max hangout with Start It Up Host Monty Bruell and talk about how Chattanooga's outdoor community provided inspiration and loyal customers for their business ventures.  Sometimes building a business based on what the owner(s) like doesn't always translate to mass appeal.  However, for Dan and Max, it was the key to their success.
