Show Notes

Have you wished you could completely cover your head in public so you could take a nap in peace?  Or have you dreamt of a device that could help you understand what your pet was trying to say?  In today’s Harvest Growth Podcast, I interview Ryan and Arik, the founders of Prank-O, the company trying to bring humor back into gift giving.

They have been featured on Shark Tank, and their Prank Gift Boxes with funny (and not real, by the way) products on the outside that hide the real gift you are giving on the inside, are carried nationwide in Target, Wal-Mart and many other retailers.

Ryan worked at The Onion, a world-famous satirical news source, for over 20 years, and he now brings that humor out in this hilarious product line along with his business partner Arik.  You’re sure to laugh a lot as you listen to this interview, but you’ll also learn a few things along the way from the stories they share from their amazing journey, including:

oHow to use humor to give your business more personality
oHow to improve your business focus and ignore distractions
oHow to grow your business organically while funds are limited in the early days
oHow to marry ecommerce and retail for maximum profitability

Ignore Arik’s super long promo code that he shares in the interview, and just use “harvest” to save 20% off your purchase price at Pranko.com.  You have to check out the products on this site, and you’re guaranteed to get a few laughs as you share these prank gift boxes with your friends at your next gift-giving occasion.
