Jimmy Hayes and his business partner, Doug Barber, love to travel. Throughout their expeditions, Jimmy and Doug would consistently run into one element of the travelling process that didn’t quite meet their expectations of a great adventure– the gear. When they realized that they had to fill the need for better gear, Jimmy and Doug decided to quit their jobs in order to create products that make traveling faster, happier, and more efficient.
On this week’s episode, Jimmy shares the journey that he and Doug went on while creating the Minaal carry-on bag. Packed into this episode, you’ll hear how Jimmy and Doug designed, manufactured, and launched a campaign with the goal of raising $30,000, but ended up with $340,000 in support of their vision. Don’t miss it!
