MiraHOST
Let's travel back to the mid-1960s.
MiraHOST
Back then, if you wanted a miniature toy car, you probably played with a brand from the United Kingdom called Matchbox.
MiraHOST
Why were they called Matchbox? Because they were tiny enough to fit perfectly inside a real cardboard matchbox.
MiraHOST
But there was a major problem.
MiraHOST
They were perfectly realistic models of everyday cars, like boring delivery vans, slow tractors or ordinary city buses.

speaker_2HOST
They looked at those tiny bits of wood and realized they could glue them together to build tiny chairs, tables, and beds for dollhouses.
speaker_1HOST
And that dollhouse furniture became so incredibly popular that they pivoted their entire business to toys, eventually going on to create iconic brands like Barbie and Matchbox cars.
speaker_2HOST
all because they looked at leftover scraps on a garage floor and imagined something new.
speaker_1HOST
Which brings us to the most empowering part of our exploration today.
