Notes from Chris
Episode 1342
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Last week we heard from Kaila Piepkow, the graphic designer for dogs who’s now grown into a full-fledged agency, retrieving clients from other industries. A couple of weeks ago we heard from a couple that does faux taxidermy. And of course, many other features since we started this in January. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from Willem in Amsterdam, the co-founder of a mega-popular board game to inspire conversations. The title of his original episode back in the day was “Ep. 437 - Four Friends Create Conversations, Earn $400,000 in 8 Months.” What’s happened since? A lot of things, including an even more aggressive expansion, a change in model to provide online options for this previously offline game, and of course—the coronavirus.
