Version 1.0+

Version 1.0 is where Tech-Tach-Dough aka the beta version becomes the First Season of COOLTOYS. After reading the comments, it was clear no one wanted to hear Scott droll on about making money in business. They just wanted to hear about stuff that keeps them outside playing like they did when they were boys.

Scott figured what could be more fun than all the stuff your wife doesn’t want you to bring home? From surfing at the beach to crawling volcano’s in a Jeep to skiing the double blacks in the Lake Tahoe basin, CoolToys is looking for everything cool!

Now that we have the official trademark for CoolToys, we are moving forward at full speed to get back online. Grab some Swag, show the world you are part of the CoolToys® Family and support the show!

Thank you for watching CoolToys!
