Ever wondered how an idea transforms into a successful product on the shelves of major retailers? Join us for an exciting chat with Tim Swindle, a seasoned entrepreneur who shares his remarkable journey from a teenage golf instructor to a prominent figure in the toy and game industry. Tim underscores the importance of action over mere ideas, sharing invaluable advice from his experience with a successful Kickstarter campaign for the game Utter Nonsense.
