#929 What if your greatest heartbreak became the spark for your greatest dream? In Part 1 of this two-part episode, we sit down with Jacob Robinson, founder of Dig World — a one-of-a-kind construction theme park where kids (and kids at heart) get behind the controls of real excavators, skid steers, boom lifts, and more. Jacob shares the deeply personal story behind the concept, rooted in his son Pierce's battle with bacterial meningitis, and how that life-changing experience inspired him to build something the world had never seen. He walks us through the grueling two-year fundraising journey — 248 rejections before the first yes — the disastrous grand opening that nearly derailed everything, and the mindset that kept him going through it all. Jacob also opens up about his Shark Tank appearance with Robert Herjavec and drops real wisdom for any entrepreneur who's ever been tempted to quit!
What we discuss with Jacob:
+ Pierce's story: the heart behind Dig World
+ 248 investor rejections before the first yes
+ Refining the pitch without changing the vision
+ Grand opening = grand closing (1.7 Google rating)
+ "Operate from imagination, not memory"
+ Shark Tank: Robert Herjavec says yes
+ How Dig World actually works
+ The Dude Perfect partnership
+ Dream crazy dreams
Thank you, Jacob!

#922 What happens when a blind chef decides the world needs better kitchen tools — and builds a six-figure business to prove it? In this episode, we sit down with Debra Erickson, founder of The Blind Kitchen, who shares how she went from losing most of her vision to graduating culinary school, teaching at the Oregon Commission for the Blind, and launching an online store that now carries 125 adaptive cooking tools for people with vision loss.
