Ep. 108 - City Bonfires Is Born Out Of The Ashes | Chris McCasland, Michael Opalski & Bryan Ward Dad Up Podcast

    • Parenting

As you can imagine, Covid-19 has impacted people’s livelihood across the globe. My guests today were no different.



Chris McCasland, a sports and concert industry broker and restaurateur, and Michael Opalski, a senior restaurant industry salesman, both endured a loss of income during the pandemic.



As the story goes, both were at home for long periods of time with their families. While at home, Chris started teaching himself e-commerce and searching for cool product ideas. He came up with City Bonfires, a portable, reusable mini bonfire that you can take on all of your outdoor adventures. He enlisted the help of Mike who came up with the design of the product. A 4-inch by 2-inch round metal tin that is filled with non-toxic soy wax.



Unlike other soy wax-based products, City Bonfires entire surface becomes the flame - creating a mobile heat source - a mini bonfire! Thus, City Bonfires was born!



Each City Bonfire is handmade in Maryland with American-made materials by two Dads whose jobs were impacted by Covid-19. They believe that bonfire nights are the best nights. Gather around their City Bonfire and make memories!



As Covid-19 has taught us, life is best spent making memories with our family and friends. I have personally used their product and must admit, it’s amazing. 



Make sure you go online and order yours today.
