At Town Hall, we know that building something great takes a lot of grit, curiosity, and community. That’s why we were beyond honored when our CEO and Co-Founder, Robin Hall, got the chance to share our story—and ask for advice—on NPR’s How I Built This: Advice Line with Guy Raz.

The podcast is a favorite in the startup world, and for good reason. It’s where the best in the business share their hard-earned lessons, real talk about risk, and a little bit of magic that comes from chasing big ideas. So when Robin was invited to ask a question on the show, she showed up with one close to our hearts: How do you know when it’s worth taking a big risk?

The episode features none other than Isaac Larian, CEO and Founder of MGA Entertainment (yep—the brains behind Bratz and L.O.L. Surprise!), who brings decades of experience building iconic brands. Isaac and Guy offered sharp, candid advice on changes to consider, taking bold swings, and knowing when to go all in. It was raw, energizing, and exactly the kind of fuel we needed.

For a small but mighty brand like Town Hall—born in the mountains of Colorado and built on the belief that kids deserve better outdoor gear—it meant the world to be part of this conversation.
