Over the last few years the word "disrupt" has found its way into the American business vocabulary. On today's Out to Lunch, Peter Ricchiuti introduces us to two local disrupters.
Tom Hayes is New Orleans General Manager of Uber. Uber is an international and nationwide car service that disrupts the taxi business — which it is in the process of doing here in New Orleans.
Steve Beatty is Editor of The Lens. The Lens is an investigative reporting organization that is disrupting local news media.
When is a taxi not a taxi? When is a newspaper not a newspaper? They're just two of the philosophical questions Peter and his guests tackle on today's Out to Lunch.
