You’ve probably heard of GetOutPass — or even used it. But what you don’t know is the wild business story behind one of Utah’s most recognizable family brands.
In this long-overdue (but worth-the-wait) episode of The Durable Business Podcast, host Chase Murdock sits down with Kyle Poll and TC Krueger to tell the full, untold story of GetOutPass: from local startup to $30M+ juggernaut through a surprise merger with its top competitor, Pogo Pass.
This episode dives into:
How a scrappy Utah startup grew from nothing to 30+ markets nationwide
The hidden complexities of running a two-sided marketplace at scale
Surviving COVID when your entire product relies on in-person fun
Kyle’s leap from LinkedIn and Gympass to acquiring GetOutPass — the business his family used
The behind-the-scenes of a complex merger: multiple failed deals, rivalries, and the eventual turning point
This is more than just a local feel-good story. It’s about building trust, merging cultures, and unlocking a new growth chapter in an overlooked industry.
If you love great Utah business stories, and want a rare look at the business behind the brand, this one’s for you.
