#4 - Robert J. Croak, Joseph McClendon III, Sean Vosler, Jonathon Kendall, Stephen Liao

In this week's episode, you will learn from the founder of Silly Bandz, Robert J. Croak. His company generated over $240 million sales. Little did Robert know, his little idea was about to be the biggest bracelet trend the world had ever seen. What happened over the next two and a half years was simply unheard of. Robert’s little Toledo, Ohio company was catapulted into the limelight and went from 12 employees to over 300 in the matter of months. During this time trying to efficiently scale the craze and capture the lighting in a bottle, Robert was working 18 hours a day seven days a week. Silly Bandz partnered with the Kardashians, Justin Beiber, Hello Kitty, Barbie, Spongebob Squarepants, and Angry Birds for exclusively licensed bracelets. Licensing and consistently creating new packs to ship around the world was not easy, but with much determination, little sleep, and a great team, Robert kept up this pace producing a trend that outlasted most huge fads -- over three years.

Thanks to the whirlwind Silly Bandz fame, Robert has since been featured on “How I Made My Millions,” Bloomberg, CNN, MTV’s Made, Bravo’s Housewives of Beverly Hills, GSN-High Stakes Poker, as well as countless other TV shows and news features. After 2012, the blaze of the Silly Bandz trend cooled off and Robert has continued inventing, investing, and launching many new products and brands. With his accomplished reputation as a master brand-builder and infrastructure for product development, Robert has developed many new products, and has also diversified into real estate, technology, and fast casual pizza enterprises. Through the years, Robert’s passions have remained the same: to continue creating meaningful products that provide him the financial ability to help make the world a better place.
