What began as a late-night game between roommates transformed into Pictionary, a global phenomenon that sold over 38 million copies and generated over $1.2 billion in sales. In this episode, Rob Angel shares how a 22-year-old waiter with no money, no experience, and no plan turned a backyard idea into one of the most successful games of all time. From reading the dictionary cover-to-cover to turning down a multi-million-dollar deal, Rob reveals the moments that defined his inspirational journey, and the lessons every entrepreneur should hear.
In this episode of The Seen, we dive into:
- Why Pictionary nearly failed before it ever hit the shelves
- How to build a billion dollar brand without funding, experience, or a plan
- What to do when everything goes wrong (because it will)
- How to turn a random idea into a real product
- The unexpected marketing strategy that made Pictionary go viral (before the internet)
