Fascinating AMA with Minaal (EPIC interview with a backpack founder!)

Today we have an EPID chat with Jimmy Hayes - cofounder of Minaal - in our first AMA!

In the video we discuss the origins of Minaal, Jimmy's favorite backpack brands, spirit animals, Minaal's materials, designing bags for changes in electronics, and much more.

And at the end of the interview Jimmy gives me CRUCIAL advice for starting my own backpack company. You can learn more about our Building a Backpack project here 👉🏼 https://nomadsnation.com/building-a-b...
