mercredi 14 février 2018 • Durée 20:31

Suzy Batiz had failed twice in the world of business, but she would not be deterred. A decade ago, Batiz developed an oil-based spray to conquer the one thing she hates more than anything else in the world: the smell of bathroom odor. She named her product Poo-Pourri. Annual revenues top $45 million. However, all that success was nearly flushed away by critical mistakes and a heavily marketed copycat. Learn how Batiz avoided a third bankruptcy. For one thing, she refused to be defeated, but also she believes Poo-Pourri “was already alive” before she thought of it. I’m not kidding, she really thinks that.

Hangover Heaven

mercredi 7 février 2018 • Durée 25:45

Hangover Heaven - What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, but when you party too hard, a hangover can ruin a weekend of fun. It can mean canceled business at a convention, or networking opportunities at, say, the annual adult video awards show. So an enterprising doctor and his friend—who has a PhD in cell biology—decided to solve the problem by creating Hangover Heaven, a pricey cure which works in 45 minutes. They deliver that cure right to your room, or in the Hangover Heaven bus, once owned by a Christian rock band. Casinos didn’t know what to think at first, and neither did Nevada health authorities. Annual revenues top $1.8 million. But does the cure work? There was only one way to find out...

My Pillow

mercredi 24 janvier 2018 • Durée 25:36

You’ve probably heard him on TV; “Hello, I’m Mike Lindell and I’ve invented the world’s most comfortable pillow...” He took his obsession for a good night’s sleep and turned it into a $300M pillow empire, with three factories churning out up to 100,000 pillows a day. But what makes his success especially strange is that Mike Lindell invented his famous pillow when he was a crack addict. Lindell’s path to riches and sobriety is a story filled with crazy detours, near-death experiences and plenty of controversies. His journey takes him from a crack house to the White House. You’ll hear it all in this episode of Strange Success.

Bunkers

mercredi 17 janvier 2018 • Durée 16:57

Hawaii panics after a false alarm warning of an incoming ballistic missile. A few days later, the same thing happens in Japan. The alerts were false, but the fear is real. Long before President Trump’s war of words with Kim Jung Un, however, Clyde Scott was helping concerned (paranoid?) Americans feel safer. His Rising S Company builds underground bunkers which can top $10 million. Scott is a tough Texan who wears a black cowboy hat, and he was made for this job. He believes bad things are about to happen. “It’s a strain living the doomsday life, because I live it daily,” he said. But the “doomsday life” has made Clyde Scott a wealthy man. In this episode of “Strange Success,” meet the man who built a business that caters to frightened celebrities, cautious billionaires, and regular Americans who are just plain scared.

mercredi 10 janvier 2018 • Durée 27:21

The Squatty Potty was created by an entrepreneurial family in Utah because mom suffered from, well, constipation. Sales in 2017 were close to $33 million, but achieving that figure in six years included a few obstructions (get it?). It started with trying to create some word-of-mouth buzz for a product no one likes to talk about, and it nearly ended when a trusted team member ripped off their idea. The Squatty Potty’s path to riches also includes hilarious detours to “Dr. Oz” and “Shark Tank,” and a Powerball line outside a convenience store in Texas. Here’s the strange success of one family willing to talk about poop.
