Interview with the CEO of Baby.com.br

Meeting Davis Smith

                Adriel and I have continued doing some interviews with entrepreneurs over the past few weeks. Today we were able to meet a small celebrity to us who study at BYU; his name is Davis Smith. Davis studied at BYU for his undergrad and went abroad for various internships (including the ERS internship). He then started a business for selling custom-made pool tables online. The business grew to be the number one pool table seller in the country before he and his cousin sold it. He later went back to school and completed a MBA at Wharton University. In 2011, he once again stepped up to the plate to start baby.com.br which has become the most popular ecommerce company of baby products in all of Brazil. He has since moved to São Paulo with his family and occasionally visits the USA. Adriel was able to get in contact with Davis and set up an interview at a local bakery. I learned a ton about risk taking, idea generating and obstacle overcoming during that interview. I would say it was the most interesting interview we’ve done so far.
