ABOUT OUR GUESTS
Courtney Hartley and Drew Lovell are working to open Bonus Round, Chicago's first board game cafe. Starting their own business from scratch has been a tumultuous journey but they've learned an enormous amount along the way. Currently they are running pop-up events on the city's north side which are run through Meetup () as they also prepare to launch their Kickstarter campaign in mid-late July.
ABOUT THE EPISODE
This week, we have two guests who are working together to open a board game cafe here in Chicago, and we talk about all sorts of stuff ranging from how long progress takes, building a community, prototyping an idea while letting someone else assume the risk, and a lot more.
If you're thinking of making the transition from the 9 to 5 grind, this is a good one for you to listen to.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
