“With no business experience, no connections, no real passion for popcorn, still managed to build an incredible company. And a few weeks ago, Dan and Angie told me how they did it in front of a live audience at the Ordway concert hall in St. Paul, Minnesota.”

“To earn extra money to save for their kids college funds, and popping and selling kettle corn seemed like a reasonable way to do it. So in 2001, after Dan literally saw an internet ad for kettle corn equipment, he convinced Angie that they should go for it. They could launch it out of their garage and Mankato, Minnesota, and then, you know, sell the popcorn at Little E games or in parking lots. And that was how Angie's kettlecorn was born. It would be the beginning of a grueling grind, the long hours, the freezing cold days, the crushing debt, and the stress on their marriage and finances. But sixteen years after that kettle kit arrived, Angie's boom chickapop sold to a huge food conglomerate for a quarter of a billion dollars. It is like many of the stories in the show, seemingly improbable. Two people”

“So there's a piece of career advice that I've always struggled with because it feels a little hollow. And the advice is to follow your passion. For starters, not everyone has an obvious passion, and then not all passions are easily translated into sustainable careers. But if you've heard most of the founders on this show, you might conclude that all of them pursued their passions, like James Dyson trying to build better vacuum cleaner, right? Well, in fact, they are all passionate about what they created, but for the most part, the passion came after the product came into being. Neither Dan nor Angie ever had a particular love for popcorn. Yeah, they liked it, but it wasn't their passion. At least initially, the idea behind buying a kettlecorn kit was pretty simple. They needed a way.”

“The team and I travel to St. Paul, Minnesota to do a live show with the founders of Angie's Boom Chickapop. Well, eat a ton of popcorn that night. There were actually bags of their snacks everywhere, and as you'll hear, we also had an incredible time with them on stage. It's a really fun and amazing story. So enjoy. You went to a bunch of banks. And what did they say? Were they eager to lend you the money? You went to bank after bank and they just said, What?”

“You know, one of my favorite parts of traveling is getting a feel for a neighborhood, the way locals do. A few summers ago, I was in Rome and stayed in an apartment I booked on Airbnb. It was tucked in a quiet neighborhood just outside the Roman forum. Every morning I'd walk to the corner cafe, grab an espresso, and just watch the world go by outside. I even managed to chat with the owner about the neighborhood he lived in for nearly forty years. And he got me thinking about my own neighborhood. There are incredible hiking trails and great restaurants and, of course, the beach. And when I'm traveling this summer, listing my own place on Airbnb could be a really smart way to let someone else experience the area the way I do, like a local. Listing your home on Airbnb while you're traveling is a great way to make some extra money. You could put the money toward your next trip. Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much”
