Supercharging enthusiasm for a super product 🍲Robert Wang, CEO of Instant Pot

Instant Pot, the multipurpose pressure cooker, is so remarkable that it has spurred an outpouring of enthusiasm from a community of fans around the world. Some Potheads name their Pots, while others knit sweaters for the appliances. Today, more than 1.8 million “Potheads” of all ages, languages, and backgrounds have joined their Facebook group to share recipes and Instant Pot fandom. Robert and his team opened the group in 2015, imagining it as a space where customers separated by geography could help each other with Instant Pot questions—both connecting superfans and lightening the burden on the company’s customer support team. We talk to Instant Pot's founder Robert Wang in this episode about how this community sparked and grew, and how they've approached their Facebook group as it's grown.
