Rob Angel is the inventor of Pictionary. You have played this game. I don't know anyone who hasn't.
He Invented the game in 1985 and started manufacturing it in his studio apartment in Seattle, and then literally went out onto the streets, trying to sell it to people face to face.
Since then, 38 million copies of Pictionary have been sold worldwide. It's one of the biggest games of human history. Is just staggering how many people have enjoyed this game.
He and his partners grew that company for a decade, handling everything themselves, figuring it all out the hard way, not knowing how to run a business, not knowing anything. They were kids.
They eventually sold it and Rob talks a lot in this conversation about what that was like and just the journey of making a success from the ground up and some of the personal experience of doing that.
I think there's so much to learn from hearing these stories. It's very soulful talking to Rob. He's a guy who got successful long time ago and has really spent most of his time since then, just trying to help other entrepreneurs out.
He was on the board of a foundation to help fight AIDS because he lost one of his co-founders to AIDS in the eighties. That's also kind of a success story, where we're much better at handling AIDS now but It was pretty scary there in those days. We talked a little bit about that in this episode as well, but I'm just happy to be sharing such a delightful person with you guys.
