Is Bigfoot real… or just the greatest brand never officially launched? As Mike and Blaine kick off Season 6 with a bold pivot diving into the business of pup culture and today’s ‘biggest’ stories, they head straight into the forest to tackle one of the most enduring mysteries of all time — Bigfoot.

From blurry trail-cam photos and questionable eyewitness accounts to conspiracy theories that refuse to die, this episode breaks down the legend of Sasquatch with zero credentials and maximum curiosity. But this isn’t just a cryptid campfire story — it’s a surprisingly sharp look at how myths are built, why mystery sells, and how Bigfoot has quietly become a global brand without a CEO, marketing team, or LinkedIn profile.

Along the way, Mike and Blaine explore what entrepreneurs can learn from Bigfoot’s cultural staying power, the business of belief, and why humans love a good story more than cold, hard facts. Expect laughs, wild speculation, brand hot takes, and absolutely no scientific guarantees. If you like your business insights served with humor, mystery, and a very large footprint, this one’s for you.
