When John Zimmer stepped down from Lyft, he didn’t just walk away from a company—he walked toward a new question: What if capitalism could be used to build things that actually make people healthier and happier? After more than a decade helping millions move through cities, John realized something: you can build a wildly successful business that still leads to unhealthy outcomes. Soda is a trillion-dollar market—but it also fuels diabetes. So with his new venture, Yes, John is reimagining what modern entrepreneurship can look like—helping founders build consumer brands that align profit with positive impact. Think: businesses built for the age of AI, social media, and conscious consumers—where growth and good outcomes aren’t opposites. It’s an ambitious idea, but then again, so was turning strangers’ cars into one of the largest transportation networks in America.
