Playing with Play-Doh

 

**Eleven Minute Listen **

Play-Doh is the universal modeling compound enjoyed by millions of children around the world. The story of it’s invention and how it came to be the ‘take it to the bank’ revenue generator for Hasbro Toys is an interesting tale of Leverage and HyperLeverage.

On this episode, I tell the history of Play-Doh from it’s beginnings as a wallpaper cleaning putty created by the Kutol Products company in Cincinnati Ohio to it’s present day status as one of the most popular children’s toys of all time.

Along the way I use the story of Play-Doh to point out the lessons of leverage and HyperLeverage.
