Watch: Getaround featured on Crackle's 'Going From Broke' with Ashton Kutcher
Plus: Getaround CEO Sam Zaid discusses carsharing and entrepreneurship with Desiree in Atlanta
Last week, Getaround was featured on Crackle TV’s newest season of Going From Broke, a reality series focused on helping Americans climb out of debt and overcome financial struggles brought on by student loans, unexpected job loss, credit cards, and more. The full episode is free to watch on Crackle!
The episode follows the ambitious Desiree in Atlanta on her journey to get out from under her debt while pursuing her entrepreneurial dreams. With her mounting business expenses and lingering student loan payments eating into her income, Going From Broke mentors Dan Rosensweig, CEO of Chegg, and financial expert Tonya Rapley recommend the perfect side hustle to help turn the tide for Desiree: sharing her car on Getaround.

“Getaround is a great option,” Tonya says. “Someone who wants to borrow your car can get access to it without you being there. Your car is driving around, making you money while you’re taking a nap or on vacation.” By carsharing with Getaround, Desiree started earning extra cash without dedicating extra hours of her time each month.

The episode features a cameo from our very own CEO Sam, who spent some time discussing entrepreneurship, perseverance, and how the passive income earned through carsharing could help Desiree reach her financial goals.
“When we started Getaround,” Sam says, “what inspired us was people like [Desiree]. We take on a lot of debt to buy cars, and we felt we could bring people more freedom and empower them to pursue their dreams [through carsharing].”

Getaround angel investor Ashton Kutcher also makes an appearance, sharing his early struggles and journey to financial stability. Speaking about the importance of having multiple streams of income, Ashton says, “I had a good job — I was doing alright. Then I took the leap and went after my dream. I kept coming back to the things that gave me the financial security in order to take those risks.
