How Running To The Rip Build A Pokémon Empire | Pack Fresh Podcast Ep. 17

He left Big Four accounting to chase shiny cardboard… and it actually worked.

This week, Wash and Cardboard sit down with RunningToTheRip to talk about his full journey: walking away from corporate life, the brutal early grind of selling Pokémon cards online, opening a storefront, building a loyal community, taking losses on stream, learning vintage the hard way, and how the Pokémon hobby completely transformed his life.

One of our most real conversations yet about the business side of Pokémon, burnout, opportunity, and why this hobby is so special.
