We explore toy inventors that changed the toy industry, including those that changed the business narrative of the toy industry as a whole. This episode was inspired by Reuben Klamer who recently passed away. He made the Game of Life board game popular a century after its initial invention, and he also invented the plastic hula hoop. We also talk about other inventors from Lonnie Johnson to Erno Rubik.

On this episode, we explore movies that were mainly inspired by toys. The hits and misses. And the ones that became huge successes and went on to establish sustainable franchises.
