Four Brothers And A Hot Tap: The Joolca Story | #183 - a podcast by Nathan Bush
from 2022-05-01T19:00:47
In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Mac Slodyczka, the founder of Joolca. Joolca is a completely portable hot water system that can easily be used camping - or off the grid, or while renovating - anywhere where you need the luxury of hot water! Developed by Mac and his team, Joolca is now sold and distributed in four countries - Australia, US, UK and Canada - and sold through retailers including Tentworld and Snowy’s. Mac talks us through how he developed the innovative Joolca solution with his engineering background - and his broader vision of how Joolca could help make anyone feel at home in the outdoors. I think I need that. We also discuss how his three siblings all joined him on his journey at Joolca, the hacks he has developed for great customer service and his approach to bringing great people into the Joolca team.
