Hey, it's Guy here, and just a couple of things before we get to the show today. First, I've got something very cool to share with you all. After months of hard work and even some electronic sweat and tears, I can finally say the how I built this shop. Yeah. Check out this curated collection of products for every idealist and innovator out there. In fact I'm wearing my how I built this hoodie as we speak. So if you want to get your own or maybe a high beltest hat or T shirt or mug

I'll be talking to Shiza Shahid of the Malala Fund and founder of Our Place, the brand behind that cookware that you see all over Instagram. But for today's show, we're running an episode from a few years back. It's the story of Sarah Kause, who created the Swell Water Bottle. The episode first ran in April of 2020, just a few weeks after most of the world shut down because of COVID.

back when it seemed strange to interview somebody while they were sitting in their bedroom. Anyway, it's one of my favorites and I hope you enjoy it. You went to a trade show and you literally saw a table with knockoffs of your bottles there. Is is that right? Yeah, so not only were there swell bottles at this trade show. But the swell bottles had won an award and had a ribbon on a display case at the trade show. Was it the same logo with the S apostrophe well? Yeah, it was the same logo and it had the trademark symbol on the side of it.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is 1 credit.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript, segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

10 free credits is 10 episodes like this one a month. Episodes nobody has transcribed yet cost their length in hours, because we have to actually transcribe them.
