at 8:11

From the episode: Instant Pot CEO Robert Wang on how his small pressure cooker company cultivated a rabid community of "Potheads."

Offline brick-and-mortar stores did not want to carry Instant Pot, so Robert Wang started to sell online out of desperation. He placed the product online, and since the term “electrical pressure cooker" was fairly new, search engine optimization helped to drive traffic.
