Ever wondered what it's like to start a theme park where kids can operate real construction machinery? Today, I sit down with Jacob, the founder of Dig World, a place where kids, and adults too, do exactly that. We cover everything from the park's development, startup costs, and insurance challenges to the innovative ways he has brought Dig World to life.
Timestamps further down. Enjoy!
