What You’ll Learn in This Episode
In this episode, Nick Mowbray, co-founder of ZURU, shares how a backyard hot air balloon project turned into a global toy and consumer goods empire with over $3 billion in projected revenue.

He shares: • Why he and his brother lived off cents for 7 years in China to make ZURU work • The brutal lessons learned from getting sued as young entrepreneurs • How their first viral product generated $100M+ in revenue • The “2% better every week” mindset that helped them outpace Hasbro & Mattel • Why they never raised VC money—and still scaled to billions

This is a raw, relentless look at what it actually takes to go from zero to global dominance—without outside funding. If you want to scale fast, build lean, and think bigger, you’ll want to listen to this one.
