b'According to the reputable Henry J Kaiser Family Foundation, right around twenty percent of the population of the United States is under 15. That s a sizeable market. You don t have to look very far to see the marketers of stuff that kids like trying to sell it to them. Mostly food and toys. Which demonstrates that we don t change all that much as we grow older. But there are other businesses aimed at kids that aren t exploitative, and can be a part of a child s development. Peter Ricchiuti s guests on today s show are in those kinds of businesses. Marshall Love is co owner of Love Swimming, where thousands of New Orleanian kids learn to swim. Jeremy Henson is co owner of 1 Gaming, where thousands of New Orleanian kids learn to socialize and compete off the sports field. Childs play is big business.
