Ilya Kratsov teaches me about super apps, SE Asia, and ticketing the unbanked

<p>My guest today is Ilya Kratsov from PouchNation. A company based in SE Asia that does tremendous business around monetization, ticketing, event access, and technology in SE Asia. </p> <p>This was a cool conversation because I hadn't really had a chance to feature anyone from SE Asia on the podcast and we got into a bunch of interesting topics like emerging markets, super apps like WeChat, technology adaptation, the reason entertainment is a sign of a stabilizing country, and much more. </p> <p>Come check out the <a href= "http://www.bookingprotect.com">Booking Protect folks at INTIX</a> in Orlando. Mr. Dave will be there hanging with Hayley, Cat, and Cath. They can show you undated data that highlights how important refund protection has become to re-opening venues and the recovery of the live event industry in countries around the world. </p> <p>I've also put together a great panel featuring Hayley, Derek from Project Admission, and Einar from Activity Stream. </p> <p>I'm doing a price course with an education company and I need to see how many people would be interested in learning more about the course. </p> <p>It's called, "Set the Right F#$%^! Price" and to be notified when I get ready to launch the BETA, <a href= "https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScVlE4Z1pKQu5f1MuKqO5cgJ6W7V6C7dSj84NQfQOfE-0YJqQ/viewform?usp=sf_link"> fill out this form</a>. </p> <p>Get the <a href="http://talkingtickets.substack.com">Talking Tickets newsletter</a>.
