How a $50-a-Week Side Hustle Became a 6-Figure Arcade Dream | Vibe Your Vibe

In this nostalgic and hilariously honest episode of VibeYourVibe, Kirk reconnects with childhood friend Charles Sanderson, arcade owner, tool store entrepreneur, and pinball wizard. From late-night Three Stooges marathons to building a $6M business from a $50-a-week hustle, Charles opens up about everything: radioactive creeks, sliding off garage roofs, being bored with beer, and competing with the world’s top pinball players.

We dig into:

⚫ The story behind Atomic Pinball Arcade
⚫ How Charles turned a hobby into a cultural hangout
⚫ Lessons learned from the 2008 recession and internet-era retail
⚫ His no-BS take on AI, trades, and legacy
⚫ Laugh-out-loud memories of Coldwater Creek mischief and basement confessions

If you ever wondered what wisdom a self-made, sarcastic, 58-year-old pinball junkie would pass on to his younger self - this is it.
