With soaring container shipping prices, Covid lockdowns and rising costs in China, many toy companies have begun to look at 'Nearshore' option for manufacturing. We run through the pros, cons and realities of Nearshoring in this episode of the Playing At Business podcast.

Toy companies (both big & small) rely heavily on the factories they work with. Every time they produce a toy your reputation and potentially your business rest on the factory & their complying with safety, ethical and quality standards. Competitive pricing is also a concern of course, manufacturing spend is the biggest cost for toy & game companies, so comparatively small savings in percentage terms can add to up to significant money.  In Episode 72 of the PLAYING AT BUSINESS podcast we take a look at how to find and then validate good reliable toy factories. We have worked with many different factories in different factories over the years, and we have introduced more than 100 toy & game companies to new factories. The things we learnt during this process are shared in this podcast.

We finish Goin' Online with a listener pick - Sneakers. We talk about the cast, how pizza can create strife and the end of history. Finally, we deep dive into Cosmo's Toy Factory and scrub our brains. If you'd like to support our nonsense, join our Patreon at https://patreon.com/themidnightboys

Remember Brexit? Well, back in late January when the UK left the EU, I reached out to a Toy Safety expert friend of mine and asked, “What is this going to do to our labeling requirements?” The answer was, "a little when it comes to testing, and "a lot when it comes to paperwork. "Today's podcast episode is our Toy Safety 102 lesson, and we spend about 90% of this conversation focusing on the cost, complication, and changes in labeling and testing requirements brought about once the UK split from the EU. EN-71 is the European standard that specifies safety requirements for toys sold in the European Union. Bill walks us through what you need to stay compliant with and points out that we have until January of 2022 to have all product molds, deco, and packages updated with the new required labeling. At the end of the episode, you'll gain a little bit of perspective around accepting international orders for your product line too soon.

You know that feeling when you submit a job application but you're pretty sure no one is going to see it? The process of applying for jobs has become more and more impersonal in the digital age. The personalities of resumes today are defined by the template and type face that was chosen. Well today, the ever-growing social media platform, TikTok has stepped up to the plate to create a more personal hiring experience that can almost ensure your resume gets seen…at least once.TikTok Resumes ran a pilot program in July of 2021 featuring a site tiktokresumes.com and a hashtag #tiktokresumes that boasted job opportunities from top toy and entertainment companies like Spinmaster and WWE. The platform encouraged the creation of polished TikTok resume videos and facilitated the application submission process. The hashtag TikTok Resumes has almost 300 million views and hopefully the program will return in full force very soon. But until it does, this episode will help you prepare to be an early adopter of the latest revolution in job hunting and recruitment. When you're ready to learn about the future of the job market, listen in to this episode.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:For the links and resources mentioned in this episode, head over to the episode page at www.thetoycoach.com/84

How much do you know about how the toy products that you make and play with get to you? Most likely, they were shipped to the city you bought them from, on boats in containers. In January of 2021, shipping container prices started to climb. By early spring they were double the standard pricing and today shipping container prices have been reported to have increased 4x what importers are used to paying to ship their products. The growth in sales that the toy industry experienced over the past year is just a fraction of the growing demand weighing heavily on our supply chain. Shipping ports are congested and shipping containers are limited, all leading to a container crisis that's wiping out profit margins.In this episode, you'll learn the history of the shipping container, gain an understanding of the pricing and functionality of containers, but most importantly we're going to wrap this episode by building out an extensive Market Shift Mind Map around the shipping container crisis. The goal of creating this mind map is to predict and prepare for the future with this major shift in mind. You'll learn to break apart and analyze the 4 different aspects of the rising shipping costs and predict changes to come so you can be proactive instead of reactive. Whether you're new to the industry or an experienced toy professional this is a great exercise to appreciate the history of shipping and to think ahead for its future.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:For the links and resources mentioned in this episode, head over to the episode page at www.thetoycoach.com/83

Happy Veterans Day Wolfpack! It's November 11 and today we celebrate and thank our veterans for serving and protecting our country. Rock and roll has had its fair share of veterans including the father of rock, Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, Ray Manzarek of the Doors, Shaggy and Tool front man Maynard James Keenan. Also, Toy Caldwell served in the US Marine Corps during the Vietnam War until a landmine accident sent him home. If you don't recognize the name Toy Caldwell, he was the founder of the Marshall Tucker Band. There was never a Marshall Tucker in the band, and it was originally called the Toy Factory. . They ended up with the Marshall Tucker Band when they saw on their key to the rented rehearsal space they were using the name Marshall Tucker. They later learned that Marshall Tucker, a blind piano tuner, was the previous tenant of the space. The Marshall Tucker Band is an interesting group coming to us out of our very own Spartanburg, South Carolina that incorporated blues, jazz, and country into their sound helping to establish the genre of Southern Rock. Pulling from the Marshall Tucker Band's vast discography, today we are looking at "Bob away My Blues". This song is admittedly a little heavy on the country side, but still brings us a very positive message. Well I'm goin' down to the river I've got a canepole in my hand I've got my redworms in a Maxwell house coffee can I'm gonna sit under a shade tree on a riverbank where it's cool I'm gonna close my eyes and dream and let the cork bob away my blues The speaker in this song has a positive outlet for his every day stresses and ensures he takes time to go fishing and let "the cork bob away [his] blues." We all need a method to destress. A noticeable absence in this song is the lack of specifics about his blues. Throughout the song he only makes reference to his pa encouraging him to move to the city and being a city boy with the country blues. It's a noticeable departure from your typical blues song which delves into specifics regarding the source of the speaker's blues. SImilarly, while venting our frustrations can have a cathartic release of stress, if it's done without focus on a solution, and done repetitively, it can start to refuel the stress as no solution is addressed and a feeling of hopelessness can set in. Vent if you are looking for solutions. But distance yourself from the stress with hobbies and past-times which can calm your mind. Also noticeable is that city boy who remembers his roots in the country. Sometimes we forget where we come from, and in education that can translate into why we chose to become a teacher. Usually it's not a simply "I love reading," or "I love history" or... well, insert the appropriate subject for you. There are plenty of occupations for the subject matter we chose to teach, occupations which would keep us from having to try and wrangle a menagerie of emotionally volatile teens. But we chose teaching. Usually there's some component of wanting to help teens grow and develop. We got into it focused on the student. But we let standards and tests shift our focus to the content. Remember why you chose teaching, especially as tests creep up. Growth is growth, be it academic, behavioral, interpersonal, or that slow growing personal growth that doesn't fully develop until adulthood. Positive relations with students will garner at least one. Thank you for being the best, thank you for all that you do, and remember to let the cork bob your blues away.

distressed by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Next up was Battle In The Sky - A Steampunk Orchestra by Walid Feghali and Eighteenth Century by Niklas Stagvall, which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  After that was "Epic" Orchestral Piece by Steven O'Brien and The Clockwork City (12/14) by David Cordero Chang, which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.  And finishing up was Frost Waltz by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.Although I'm a big fan of open licensing, I also very much enjoy music from artists who are either independent or are on labels which kind of buck the trend of seemingly the majority of the mainstream music industry and actually like the fact that they have people listening to their music.  And with steampunk music, although I can't play it on here, there is a lot of really good stuff either direct published or on small labels.  A few songs I can heartily recommend listening to include:- Airship Pirate by Abney Park- Steph(v)enson by The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing (who actually released a version of that album on wax cylinder)- All Hail the Chap by Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer- I Want Only You by The Cog Is Dead- Just Glue Some Gears On It (And Call It Steampunk) by Sir Reginald Pikedevant, Esquire- Roustabout by Beats Antique- and Lament for a Toy Factory by Dr. SteelMost of this week's music was chosen more for a mechanical sound than for anachronistic style combinations.  Stuff that just sounded to me like it went well with a slow speed reciprocating engine.  Not everyone considers the same things "steampunk music", since it's not a particularly well-defined genre, but this kind of thing falls pretty squarely into that category for me.Steam Train Interior (2:16)Railroad (1:42)Atom Hub Toolshed_contextual_demo (0:36)Tim Reed - Four Miniatures for Violin and Cello Duo (excerpt 1) (1:01)Clockwork Symphony (2:30)04 A Garden in Italy - The Archive Box - Stereochemistry (4:10)That was a chunk of Steam Train Interior by allh, which is available from FreeSound and is licensed under the CC0 license.  After that was Railroad by Jake Tickner and Atom Hub Toolshed_contextual_demo by Walid Feghali, which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had Tim Reed - Four Miniatures for Violin and Cello Duo (excerpt 1) by Tim Reed, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  Next up was Clockwork Symphony by Psarius and finishing up was 04 A Garden in Italy - The Archive Box - Stereochemistry by stereochemistrymusic, which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.Today's app-of-the-day is OpenTTD, a transportation network simulator where your job is to build a system of road, rail, air, and ship routes to connect together towns and industries to move people and goods around the map in the most efficient way possible.  It's a little like if you took just the transportation components of a city simulator and extended it into its own game.  For example, not only do you build train stations and tracks, but the terrain of the tracks will slow down your trains if they hit a hill.  You also have to do regular maintenance on your vehicles and even build their routes and schedules.  I'll admit I'm pretty terrible at playing it, partially due to my propensity to overuse trains instead of other forms of transportation, but I still have a lot of fun playing it.  It's available for Linux, BSD, OpenSolaris and OpenIndiana, AmigaOS and MorphOS, BeOS and Haiku, OS/2, RISC OS, Android, PalmOS, Symbian, Nintendo DS, Wii, PSP, Apple iOS, Mac OS X, MS-DOS, and Microsoft Windows.  Download it today at openttd.orgNow for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors followed by more music.20000 Leagues under the SeasTower Bridge old machine room (1:00)CONCERNS (3:36)Monomental (3:20)Prelude No. 7 in A major, Op. 2g on a crappy old, out of tune, upright piano (1:44)Shine On, Harvest Moon (1:55)Ain't Nobody's Business (5:44)Steampunk Girl (3:56)That was Tower Bridge old machine room by The London Sound Survey, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  After that was CONCERNS by AKAJULES and Monomental by aledjones_musics, which are both available from Jamendo and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Then we had Prelude No. 7 in A major, Op. 2g on a crappy old, out of tune, upright piano by Steven O'Brien, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Next up was Shine On, Harvest Moon by Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth and performed by Bill Kramme singing with himself, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  After that was Ain't Nobody's Business by Porter Grainger and Everett Robbins and performed by Cryindtbuffkin, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Finishing up was Steampunk Girl by John Anealio, which is available from his website at johnanealio.com and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.So, that's all for today.  Remember - piracy of commercial music only proves your dependence on that model and justifies further censorship and restriction.  So don't pirate it - replace it with something better.  Listen to open licensed music, donate to the artists behind it, go to concerts, and buy music from artists whose record labels don't see you as their enemies.  Support artists where your support actually counts.This episode was made using Gentoo Linux, Xubuntu Linux, Audacity, Audacious for organizing playlists, and Leafpad for notes, and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Feel free to give it to your friends, or if you didn't like it, your enemies.  Links to the songs in this podcast are available on the website.  Listen in next time for some celtic music.  See 'ya!Download MP3

It’s Monsters Friday again, bringing you an oldie from the early days of The Drunk and the Ugly, through a ransom event with RPPR’s own Ross Payton.  It through these games that we ended up bringing in Sam and Charlie eventually. In this adventure, following their victory over the Ur-Monster in the summer road trip, the daring Jimmy McPherson and Roy Ackerman receive an invitation to visit Cal Novelties, a wonderful toy factory whose owner has just passed and named them the successors to his toy throne, allowing them to become testers and designers. PLAYERS Bob (DracoStrife) – Jimmy McPherson.  Little 10-year-old person of becoming a famous comic book artist.  Comes up with brilliant plans and not-so-great execution. Chris (Wooberman) – Mr. Smacky. Mixed Martial Artist from hell, literally.  Has a giant orange body made completely from muscle.  Both hands are big red boxing gloves and wears matching Boxing Gloves.  Simple minded and fairly kind-hearted. Charlie – Roy Ackerson.  A wealthy boy born to a rich family whose parents were lost in a tragic train crash.  One night a bat flew in his window and he knew at that point that he had to become a necromancer to resurrect them. Matt – Nanaho Yoneda.  A kindly old Japanese ghost summoned accidentally by Roy when he tried to bring his parents back from the dead.  Very quiet and shy and acts as Roy’s protector whenever possible.  Sometimes she gets angry. The post MaOCT – Requiem for a Toy Factory with Ross Payton appeared first on The Drunk and The Ugly.
