Crowd Scene | Crowdfunding Success Stories

Crowd Scene is a podcast about successful crowdfunding campaigns and the people who make them happen. Each episode features a fun, inspirational interview that captures the highs and lows of developing a concept and sharing it with the world. We interview film directors, game designers, artists, inventors, songwriters and creative entrepreneurs to find out what it took for them to find success on platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo. Ideal for listeners looking for compelling true life stories of people pursuing their passion projects, fans of the Tim Ferriss podcast and Startup, as well as practical advice about running your own crowdfunding campaign. Hosted by Michael Ogden and Peter Dean. More info at crowdsceneshow.com
