SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter

Chris Meade: CROSSNET, the million-dollar (literally) idea beach volleyball didn't know it needed


Listen Later

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Chris Meade, one of three founders of the four-way volleyball game, CROSSNET, that has exploded since its founding in 2017.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How the idea of CROSSNET was hatched, in a 4 a.m. brainstorming session with the founders
  • Convincing a manufacturer to take a chance on three kids with $15,000 in their savings accounts
  • Taking the leap to leave a six-figure job at Uber to launching your own company
  • How CROSSNET has gotten into thousands of schools and is now being retailed in major stores such as Wal Mart
  • The impact it has had on the sport of volleyball
  • The next steps for CROSSNET, including getting it into Canada, Australia, and, yes, swimming pools
  • Thanks as always for listening to SANDCAST, the No. 1 beach volleyball podcast in the world. This episode is, as always, brought to you by Wilson Volleyball.
