As of today you might not be in the toy business. You might be in advertising, you might be a school teacher, or you might be a waiter, and the idea of being a toy inventor or a game inventor may have never crossed your mind until this very moment. Today's guest on Making It in The Toy Industry is Rob Angel, the creator of the highly popular family board game of quick draw, Pictionary.
At age 21, Rob worked waiting tables in Seattle when he dreamed up the word guessing game now known as Pictionary. With focus and passion Rob raised capital, built a team and figured out how to market and sell his game all over Seattle, and eventually the world. Rob chats with The Toy Coach about what it was like starting out all those years ago and that path to finding his Aardvark. Rob joins The Toy Coach in a valuable conversation about building a team around a dream, and the importance of staying focused on your vision. In this episode Rob Angel discusses the 3 biggest game changers on his path to building Pictionary and inspires MITTI listeners with his words of advice.
