In a special interview, Will chats with Jonathan Cathey, Founder and CEO of The Loyal Subjects, one of the fastest-growing independent toy companies in the U.S. If you've ever wished the best parts of the toy aisle from the 80s could make a comeback, Jonathan is the guy making it happen. He's helped revive beloved brands like M.A.S.K., Jem and the Holograms, Popples, My Pet Monster, and more, bringing them back for longtime fans while introducing them to a whole new generation. An accomplished artist and musician, Jonathan had planned to pursue a career in music and art. Will and Jonathan chat about Jonathan's journey, the power of music, and toys as totems.0:00 - Introduction1:27 - InterviewFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1980snow.Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@1980snowCheck out The Loyal Subjects or visit https://theloyalsubjects.com/.
