Imagine taking your kids to Disneyland and then watching them get just as excited about playing in a bouncy castle on the drive home from the airport.
For Derek Fuller, this was the spark for a brand new adventure of his own. After nearly 2 decades in corporate finance he decided it was time for a change. He wanted a life that let him spend time with his family. He also wanted to provide other families a where they could just be together and have fun together, be real, and forget about life’s challenges for a while.
That’s how Big Fun Inflatable Park in Calgary was born. Join Derek on his adventure in this episode of From the Heart and learn a bit more about Big Fun.
