In this episode, hosts Heath and Josh sit down with Temple, Texas native Chad Collins for a conversation that’s equal parts politics, controversy, and innovation. Chad takes us back to his teenage years when, as a high school senior, he made headlines by running for mayor—a bold move that sparked plenty of buzz (and debate) around town. A couple of years later, he tried again, and Heath and Josh dig into the reactions from his family, friends, and community during those unconventional campaigns.
But Chad isn’t just about politics—he’s also an entrepreneur with a creative mind for problem-solving. He shares the story behind his latest invention, along with partner Joel Lowry, the Pengo Cooler—a round, beach-ball-shaped ice cooler that stands out in a sea of traditional designs. From navigating controversy at a young age to bringing a unique product to market, Chad’s journey is full of surprises and determination.
