Our new lineup of shows starts next Monday, but today we're gonna round up the summer with a really fun episode from the archives. This is a story of an engineer from New Zealand and a businessman from the other side of the world who Who shared the same vision. For the perfect Trampoline.

Oh. I decided to invest in some fundamental research and I wanted to ask myself one question. Did any retailer in America. believe that trampolines were dangerous. and so dangerous that they wouldn't sell them.

The answer was yes, and that was Costco. The CEO of Costco was a man named Jim Senegal, and Jim said I will not sell trampolines. Well. And um so I made it my mission to try and sell Costco a trampoline.
