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

He shares:✅ Why they lived off cents for 7 years in China to make ZURU work✅ The brutal lessons from getting sued as a young entrepreneur✅ 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.
