    Kurt Listug, Bob Taylor and Brad Baxter - THE YEARS BEFORE ANYONE NOTICED Book 5 - Part 04

    California, Michigan, Florida and Washington State, 1974 to 2022. Five American businesses that took years to become anybody's whole job. Kurt Listug and Bob Taylor buy a failing guitar shop in 1974 and eight years later have barely grown. Brad Baxter spends five years and several hundred thousand dollars of his own money on a self-cleaning litter box while his wife carries the household. Andrew Abraham builds a nutrition company out of a garage while practicing medicine full time. Tom Rinks funds a sunscreen brand on the proceeds of an earlier, cruder business. Mike Radenbaugh builds electric bicycles at night through high school and college. In every case something else is paying for the years before the thing worked, and this account names what. Covers Kurt Listug, Bob Taylor, Brad Baxter, Andrew Abraham, Tom Rinks, Mike Radenbaugh, and American Dream. Narrated with a synthetic voice.

    Kim Jung-ju, Jake Song and Brandon Beck - THE LOOP Book 5 - Part 04

    Seoul, Los Angeles and San Mateo, 1989 to 2021. A Korean firm with no way to sell boxes starts selling hats instead. Two college friends give away a game built out of a modification somebody else made for free, and sell the clothes its characters wear. A former physics-software salesman hands children a set of plastic-looking blocks and a currency, and lets them sell to each other while he takes a share. Between them they retire the price tag as the way a game earns, and replace it with a shop that never closes, inside a product the customer is already operating. What it produces is an economy of items that do not exist, and a set of questions about who owns the playground. Covers Kim Jung-ju, Jake Song, Brandon Beck, Marc Merrill, David Baszucki, Erik Cassel, Nexon, Riot Games, and Roblox. Narrated with a synthetic voice.
