You might remember Guido from podcast episode #148. His first Kickstarter campaign didn’t work out, but he launched again and ended up raising $14,428.

He’s come back on the show to share all of the extraordinary progress he’s been making.

Not only has he doubled his conversions and gotten a ton of email sign ups, but he’s also landed several media hits, including the highly coveted Engineering.com.

This interview was incredible. No joke. In life, there comes a point in time where you have to put EVERYTHING on the line to achieve your dream.

After the first week of this campaign, pledges slowed to a trickle, and it looked like the story was taking a turn for the worse.

Then... something amazing happened.
