Episode 48: Changing the Game with Pictionary® founder Rob Angel

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” – Steve Jobs

Rob Angel was in his mid-twenties and working in Seattle as a waiter, earning $2/hour plus tips. With no business experience, plan, or money, Rob created the phenomenally successful and iconic board game Pictionary®.

Within four years, and with only two employees, Pictionary became the biggest selling board game in the world.

For the next 15 years, Rob shepherded Pictionary to worldwide sales of more than 38 million games in over 60 countries and 45 languages. It had also appeared in blockbuster films like When Harry Met Sally and TV shows like Friends, not to mention the countless licensing deals with brands such as The Simpsons and Austin Powers.

After an incredible ride, Rob said goodbye to his baby, selling the phenomenally successful Pictionary to toy giant Mattel.

Rob just released Game Changer, which is a Wall Street Journal bestselling book that reveals the dizzying highs and crushing lows of his Pictionary adventure. And if you want a roadmap to success on your own terms, I can’t recommend it highly enough.

I'm grateful that Rob was able to join me in person from our Los Angeles studio, and the number of business / life lessons in this interview are off the charts.

Let's WIN THE DAY with Rob Angel.
