Ep 168: Audacious Entrepreneurship with Chris Meade of Crossnet
In 2017, Chris and his friends put in an order for a few test units of their newly designed four-way volleyball net. They spent the next few years bootstrapping their business by running Facebook ads of themselves playing the game they invented on the beach, shot on iPhone of course. Today, CROSSNET is sold in Walmart, Target, and Dicks Sporting Goods to name a few – in addition to having a thriving DTC channel with raving fans. In today’s podcast, Chase and Jordan discuss the rapid growth of the story of how a couple of kids from Connecticut started a thriving business with some creativity, audacity, and $5000. Enjoy!
