Hey, it's Guy here, and before we start this brand new episode of How I Built This, I just wanted to let you know that we started a regular video conversation every week with different founders to talk about the creative ways that they're building resiliency in the midst of this crisis. Last week, I talked to six incredible chefs from Daniel Hom of Eleven Madison Park. To Alice Waters of Shea Panese and Jose Andrés, who's been donating meals through his nonprofit World Central Kitchen. You can join the conversation and ask your questions by going to Facebook.com slash how I built this, and you don't need a Facebook account to watch. This week I'll be talking to Tim Brown and Joey Zwillinger, the founders of Allbirds. And also to Stuart Butterfield, the founder of Slack. You can join me on Wednesday and Friday at noon eastern nine AM Pacific by going to Facebook.com slash how I built this. And hope to see you there.
sitting in my hotel room in Singapore and I was I was testing out one of the prototype builds and the radio. range was not good at all. It was supposed to have a range 10 feet or 15 to feel that was the hope that would have 15 to 20 feet range, but the range was actually like two inches. We've got a ship this holiday season. Like I've got tens of thousands of these people waiting. And I'm thinking, wow, this is it. We're done.
It's how I built this. show about innovators, entrepreneurs, idealists, and the stories behind the movements. There you go. I'm Guy Raz and on the show today. how the Nintendo Wii inspired James Park to build a device and then a company that would have a huge and lasting influence on the health and fitness industry.
