My research combines behavioral and analytical sciences to help resolve complex issues. I particularly focus on leveraging the power of artificial intelligence and analytics to improve outcomes, enhance productivity and lower costs in various fields. Current areas of interests are 1) cybersecurity and data falsification in 2) healthcare information system design, and 3) artificial intelligence and algorithmic fairness. Through collaboration with the Office of Veterans Affairs, I have been involved in several HSR&D and NIH studies totaling about $5 million in overall funding. Recent funded work looks at: 1) detecting empathy in provider secure messages, 2) improving the traditional Natural Language Processing system to identify pain care quality indicators in clinical notes, and 3) automating the documentation of clinical notes. I have accumulated a strong record of achievements in terms of research publications and partnerships that impact the fields of healthcare and information systems. I have publications at leading journals in the field including MIS Quarterly, Information Systems Research (ISR), and the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association (JAMIA). I am passionate about analytics and programming and enjoy passing along the power of AI and analytics to future generations of data scientists. Moving forward, I would like to continue impactful research applying the latest AI algorithms to help stakeholders in the healthcare field. Whether it is reducing costs for patients, reducing provider burnout, or enhancing healthcare outcomes, there is a tremendous potential for AI in the healthcare field. And I feel that is our duty to bring turn this potential into tangible solutions.

NightCap was invented in early 2019 by then 16-year-old Shirah Benarde from West Palm Beach, Florida. The idea came to her in a dream after hearing about the horrors of drink spiking from friends who experienced it after going off to college. Fortunately, her friends were okay, but Shirah was determined to come up with a pragmatic solution to this problem to protect her and her friends when they went off to college. She also wanted to make sure the product would be something girls would feel comfortable using. The next morning, she went to her mother’s closet, grabbed a pair of pantyhose, cut them up, and attached them to a scrunchie to create the first NightCap prototype.
Her brother, Michael, 21 at the time, came home from college for the summer and saw the prototype sitting on a table. As someone who had been living on a college campus for four years, he understood how prevalent this problem was — and is. Knowing that there was no product on the market that had been adopted at scale, Michael saw huge potential for NightCap due to its unbeatable convenience and reusability. Together, Michael and Shirah took action and spent the next six months working to bring NightCap from concept to reality.

Maxwell Cohen has just stepped into the Shark Tank. Max has traveled from New York City to find an investment of $100,000 in exchange for 20% equity in his business, Afresheet (“A fresh sheet,” get it?). With Maxwell has come Lydia, and as Max explains, Lydia is a very busy woman. She’s a full time college student and has a part-time job in the evening, so who has time to wash their sheets? Beds are used for more than just sleeping; they are used as a desk, a hangout spot, and even as a dining room table. Pretty much everything happens on a bed. Luckily for Lydia, she sleeps on Afresheet.
Afresheet is the world’s first custom-fitted bedsheet with disposable, peelable top layers. When you soil your bed, and Lydia spills some of her cheetos to demonstrate, simply peel off that top layer, and instantly reveal the brand new layer underneath of it. For the mess, just toss it in the recycling bin! If there is another mess, do not panic – Afresheet has 7 disposable, peelable top layers. There are so many different uses for Afresheet, so moms, don’t send your kids off to college with hopes that one day they might eventually wash their sheets.
Friends coming to visit? Loan them Afresheet! Toddler isn’t feeling well? Use Afresheet! Maxwell explains that he started the company in business and poured a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into the business, but fortunately for him, he sleeps on Afresheet and can peel it away and sleep well at night.
Robert Yonover pitched See Rescue Streamer during Shark Tank Season 8 and sought $200,000 for 20% equity. Unfortunately, as you’ll soon find out in our See Rescue Streamer update, Robert wasn’t able to reel in a shark despite his excellent presentation. So, how’s his company doing now?
Robert’s product, See Rescue Streamer, is a rescue signal device that anyone can use on any terrain at any time. If you’re lost or stranded, you can use the See Rescue Streamer to highlight your location. It allows you to “stand out against your surroundings,” so rescue teams can find you. It comes in two different sizes and is approved and used by the United States military.
The sharks were impressed with both the presentation and the product. They were even more amazed when Robert revealed that he’d already done millions in sales. He planned to use the investment to secure more military contracts. He also wanted to expand consumer and retail sales. Despite impressing the sharks, Robert wasn’t able to get anyone to take a bite.
Daymond John was the first to bow out because he believed that he couldn’t help Yonover with the product. Meanwhile, Lori Greiner didn’t think that the See Rescue Streamer was a mass consumer product. She went out, too.
As for Robert Herjavec, he explained that the product posed several problems on the consumer side, so he went out. Mark Cuban expressed similar concerns and went out, followed by Kevin O’Leary.
The good news is that it appears that not getting a deal on Shark Tank didn’t hurt the business at all. While researching for our See Rescue Streamer update, we found out that Robert still benefited from a huge surge in sales following his appearance on the show.
On top of this, the product was on board 2020’s SpaceX flight to the International Space Station. The company is still going strong, supplying military customers across the world, with an estimated annual revenue of somewhere around $3.9 million. So, as you can see by our See Rescue Streamer update, not every entrepreneur needs to get a deal to be successful.

Tiffany Krumins secured a $50,000 investment on the inaugural episode of Shark Tank, which aired on ABC in 2009. Tiffany's brainchild was inspired by a sweet-natured boy with Down syndrome who struggled to take medication. As his nanny, Tiffany tried her best to sooth his anxiety. With lightning creativity, she cobbled together fabric, sponges, and a plastic medicine dropper, and breathed life into her creation by imbedding a recordable sound chip from a greeting card. Ava the Elephant was born and is now one of Shark Tank's most well-known and beloved successes. Seven years into Tiffany's entrepreneurial journey, she licensed her product to a larger brand. She found the ideal licensing partner in Baby Delight. Two years later, the brand would be acquired by Better Family, Inc.
The acquisition of Ava the Elephant allowed Tiffany to focus on the creative side of business again. Her newest venture, 'Opu Probiotics, is a mission-driven brand manufactured in her home state of Georgia.
Tiffany's infectious spirit has attracted the attention of media heavy hitters, such as Dr. Oz, Fox Business, Entrepreneur, Forbes, and most recently the Today Show. She was even touted in The Huffington Post as a modern day Mary Poppins. Tiffany cruised from nanny to inventor to entrepreneur on a wave of uncanny creativity, cunning business strategies, and substantive causes that tugged at her giving heart.
A respected inventor, iHeartRadio host, motivational speaker, successful entrepreneur, and mother of three, Tiffany now leads all of her ventures with a daily intention that business success and personal fulfillment are not mutually exclusive.

It was an ordinary day, or so I thought, Valentine’s Day 2016 when my husband and I sat down to have our morning coffee. He offered because it was a special day, to go and get me a “specialty cup of coffee” but it was so cold in New York that I said that we could just have coffee at home. I looked down, as he was pouring me a cup of coffee and I had my “AH HA” moment. He had placed on the counter alongside mine and my daughters’ Valentine’s Day Cards individually wrapped candy hearts filled with delicious caramel and marshmallow.
When I saw that I immediately thought that it would be amazing if I could drop that into my coffee and instantly have a delicious gourmet flavored coffee without having to go anywhere or spend a fortune too! That is when JAVAMELTS was born. Javamelts is flavored sugar for coffee, tea, baking, artisan cocktails, and more! Our 4 delicious gourmet flavors are Hazelnut, Mocha, French Vanilla, and Caramel.

Kelley Higney is the founder and CEO of Bug Bite Thing. In 2013, Kelley’s family relocated from San Diego, California to South Florida. There was one thing they were not prepared for—the mosquitos. Her six-month-old daughter was constantly suffering from severe reactions to the bites. Determined to find a natural alternative to the available remedies on the market, Kelley began conducting research. She ordered an unfamiliar product that uses suction to remove the irritant—and it worked! It transformed the quality of life for her family—they could finally spend time outdoors! Kelley was determined to share it with others. In 2017, she secured exclusive distribution rights to the product and branded it Bug Bite Thing. Kelley has since been a “Mom on a Mission” to educate the world on the most effective, chemical-free solution for insect bite relief.
The company gained national recognition in October 2019 when Kelley and her mother, Ellen McAlister, appeared on ABC’s hit show, ‘Shark Tank.’ All the Sharks were biting with offers to invest in the business, but it was Lori Greiner’s ‘Golden Ticket’ offer that secured the partnership. In April 2021, Kelley and her mother returned to ‘Shark Tank.’ This time, they shared details on the company's transformation into a multi-million dollar enterprise following their first appearance on the show. Bug Bite Thing is Amazon’s #1 selling product for insect bite relief with more than 60,000 reviews.
Kelley is a member of the Fast Company Executive Board and Forbes Business Council. She is also the recipient of numerous awards, including two Gold Stevie Awards wins and was named ‘Woman of the Year’ by the 2021 American Business Awards and ‘Female Entrepreneur of the Year’ by the 2021 Stevie Awards for Women in Business. Kelley is active within the South Florida business community. She resides in South Florida with her husband, Richard, and their daughters, Leah and Lilly.

For someone who’s been on the road for more than 150 dates a year for the past 15 years, Chris Trapper appears to have taken his unsolicited break from touring pretty well. In between weekly livestreams on Facebook & Instagram, Trapper also performed in his fan's backyards across the country all summer long during his “Socially Distanced Backyardapalooza”. To top it all off, Chris entered a studio near his home in Boston, MA to record his new album “Cold Water Waltz”.
“Recording an album in normal times is an interesting experience, so imagine creating new music during a global pandemic. Although I worked intensely with the producers (Brad Young and Jason Meeker) in their respective studios, I could rest assured because as most musicians know; audio engineers social distanced before it was trending.”
The album is a mostly stripped-down affair, with the focus squarely on Trapper’s achingly honest lyrics, honeyed tenor and delicate fingerpicking. The record features Boston legends Duke Levine (Aimee Man, Peter Wolf) & Jim Prescott (G Love & Special Sauce) as well as Matt Beck (Matchbox Twenty, Rod Stewart) & even a co-write with Rob Thomas.
“I wrote most of these songs when I was opening for Rob over the summer of 2019. There were lots of days off then and admittedly, it was easy to get inspired to write new songs after witnessing so many thousands of people psyched to hear his songs every night. Rob & I wrote the song “Clear” together and he is truly the coolest guy to co-write with as he is all about the creative process and never about the ego.”
“Cold Water Waltz” was released on October 16th, 2020 and is available at christrapper.com and on all

Matt Nuccio started at Design Edge aged 14, as soon as his parents – Mark and Linda – launched the company (or as he puts it “whether I agreed to it or not, I was an employee from day one”). Since then, he has seen the firm grow to be a sizable force, boasting a 5,000 square foot facility complete with its own photography studio, computer lab, model making shop and a recording studio.
We caught up with Nuccio to find out more about life at Design Edge, as well as about his work fighting for inventor rights and lobbying for patent reform in Washington as part of the board of directors for the United Inventors Association of America (UIA).

America’s Big Deal” is here... the groundbreaking competition series that invites inventors across the nation to sell their products LIVE on-air!
If you have a great product and are ready to sell to America, submit it now at www.joymangano.com for this incredible opportunity!
Most inventors want the same thing – to make money from their idea. You have a great idea that others can benefit from. You see successful inventions everyday when you go shopping and retail stores are filled with products that someone created. Why can’t you be that person that enjoys great success?
Most inventors face the same basic problem – they lack the knowledge of the proper steps to inventing. They often skip critical steps in an attempt to get their product on the market which results in it being improperly developed and just plain unsellable. They are also not financially prepared for the long road ahead. To enjoy success in this high risk business, you must understand the process and execute with precision.
Are you an invention entrepreneur who needs expert guidance to make your idea a reality? Are you nearly ready to sell to retailers or license your product? Do you need assistance with learning everything from how to find a factory to manufacture your product to how to sell to major retailers? If you are you unsure of what to do next and are afraid to spend your hard earned money incorrectly, then Jim’s Coaching & Consulting Programs are exactly what you need to help get your invention off the ground and on a path to success.

Guaranteed, pre-set, scheduled appointments are the specialty of the National Lawn & Garden Show. Our appointment format sets us apart from other trade events. High-volume buyers are matched with quality vendors based on common product interests resulting in thousands of qualified appointments. Buyers have their own personal table – an ‘office away from an office’ – and vendors move from table to table following their pre-set schedule. Each meeting provides a pointed and concise opportunity to make a contact and discover potential new business partners. Our format is more time and cost effective compared to booth-style shows, which provide little to no guarantee that you will meet with or see compatible and interested contacts.

The Ab Blaster rotates at 15 degree angles, allowing for focused crunches to better work the targeted area.
A parent’s primary responsibility is to ensure the health, safety and welfare of their children. This in itself is a full-time responsibility with never enough eyes or ears available to catch all the little things that go on everyday. As parents of twins, we immediately experienced double of all the new parent challenges. Shortly after the birth of our twins, we began to baby proof our home. No matter what products we purchased or fixtures we applied, nothing seemed to curb our twins’ curiosity with electrical outlets and light switches. It was the one thing that truly scared us in our home and we had little control over it. As a Child and Adolescent Psychologist (Kelly) and Civil Engineer (George), helping people and solving problems has always been in our DNA. We knew that we weren’t the only parents experiencing this issue and that a solution had to be out there. We went right to work on ideating what can be done to solve our problem. After working with local, Michigan-based suppliers and gaining two United States patents, Child Be Safe Outlet and Switch Covers were born! We want parents to have peace of mind that their children are protected when their eyes aren’t always on them.

Rita Crompton. Inventing is habit forming, contagious and there is no cure; I work with inventors who constantly reinforce this belief with their continued success, new ideas and their desire to help others. A unique resolve and passion is required to get a product from the “I have an idea” stage to the marketplace.Most inventors are alone as they go through the process and this reduces the odds of success dramatically.
When I started FLeCusa International, my goal was to bring the corporate environment resources to the individual inventor. FLeCusa International helps inventors understand the inventing process, go to market, establish distribution networks, protect their intellectual property and treat their invention like a business.

'm on a mission to empower brands to take advantage of selling on Amazon as well help entrepreneurs break the shackles of their nine to fives and achieve greater financial independence through Amazon and digital marketing..
Twelve years ago, when I took the “plunge” and decided to sell full time on Amazon, I didn't know I would create, let alone grow my brands into nine figures a year in gross revenues.
Nine years ago I had no idea my love for online selling would be rivaled only by my passion for digital marketing.
Almost three years ago I could not have dreamed that my tiny weekend Amazon seller Meetups would grow into the largest and most frequently met Amazon seller Meetups in the USA.
Amazon Gurus are mostly not trusted and the plethora of online seller courses create an Analysis Paralysis situation in most instances. No wonder many brands and entrepreneurs do not even begin.
Even with ALL the other job options, here I am... an Amazon white hat marketer and consultant. Trying to escape the thoughtless, pushy, untrustworthy, reputation that has been ruined by countless Amazon gurus before me.
"Hey, what do you do for a living?" Me: (whispers) "I'm an Amazon Marketer"...
My goal here is to empower, teach, and help brands and entrepreneurs in the Amazon selling profession. It won't be easy but nothing worthwhile ever is.
Today it takes more than an amazing product, great pictures and website Google loving copy to succeed on Amazon.
It’s time to take advantage of the opportunity that Amazon provides, achieve financial freedom and grow your brand. Does anyone want to join me?

Between Jack Nekhala and Michael Nusinkis, they have over a decade of experience in the textile industry. Jack and Michael, have seen many fads and gimmicks come and go. Regardless of them all, none of these have ever provided a real solution to the dreaded “fitted sheet” problem. Like you—and so many others—no matter what they tried, they could not get the fitted sheet to stay on the bed.
All of this came to fruition in early September 2015. As an expert in the trade Jack Nekhala, an owner of Luxor Linens.com, brought home what he knew was a high-quality sheet set for he and his wife. Despite the high quality of this sheet set, Jack was frustrated to find that no amount of pulling or adjusting could prevent the fitted sheet from popping off the mattress in the middle of the night.
So, Jack did what millions of us do every day. He turned to Amazon and purchased a product that had several reviews which promised that it solved the “fitted sheet problem.” A few days later, when the item arrived, Jack was further irritated when he discovered that this “solution” required him to lift his heavy mattress four times. Once for each corner! Jack is a big man, but this was not even a one-man job for him. Angry and dissatisfied, Jack tossed the product aside and marked it up as another waste of his money.

Carol-Ann Carrington of Kickerfeast Pancake & Waffle Mix (www.Kickerfeast.com).
Carol-Ann Carrington is an immigrant from the beautiful island of Barbados, She migrated with her siblings to New Jersey to live with her mother. I pursued a Bachelor of Science with concentration in Accounting from Jersey City State College (currently renamed New Jersey City University). As an accountant, she worked in several industries including investment, entertainment, and health care. During a transitional period in her corporate life, she pursued her M.S. at John Jay College of Criminal Justice to supplement her accountant degree and expand her knowledge of fraud.
Colorful Eats became Carol-Ann’s passion in 2018 when a sale of her corporate employer provided an opportunity to pursue entrepreneurship.
She was juicing carrots when her son asked for pancakes; Carol-Ann suggested that he should drink some of the carrot juice which he politely declined. Simultaneously a light bulb went off! She blended some of the carrot juice into the pancake mix. Her son ate the carrot pancakes and politely asked for more. That became her pursuit to bring colorful, vegetable and fruit-based pancake mixes to market. Approximately two years later, she launched www.Kickerfeast.com.
Kickerfeast mix offers a healthier, delicious alternative to plain pancakes. This premium mix is made with simple, wholesome ingredients, giving you natural color and uncompromising flavor. Whether you want pancakes or waffles, the Kickerfeast mix is simple to use: Just add water! Enjoy the flavors and colors of Blueberry, Beet, Carrot, and Pumpkin.

Born into a family of inventors (Fun fact…my great grandfather invented the delay mechanism for the bomb in WWII), I’ve been dreaming up products for as long as I can remember. Whether it was finding an innovative way to organize my Barbie’s clothes, dreaming up a better solution for storing and organizing nail polish or creating an easier way for my mom to organize her Tupperware, my mind was always racing with ideas. I was obsessed with finding better ways to do anything and everything.
In 2010, I came across an opportunity that would finally allow me to take my ideas and turn them into real life products on the store shelf. I became the winning inventor on Kelly Ripa’s reality TV venture, Homemade Millionaire. It was the experience of a lifetime and gave me the courage to follow me dream of becoming a successful inventor. Product innovation became my passion and a way of life for me. Yes, I officially became a nerdy inventor!
After bringing several of my product innovations to life on HSN, QVC and in big box retail nationwide, I partnered with a popular online retailer to help them build their Travel category from the ground up. As a travel junkie myself logging over 150,000 miles per year, this was a very exciting opportunity for me. After doing extensive market research for the project and reviewing thousands of travel products, one thing become crystal clear—the vast majority of luggage and travel accessories were created by men, for men. Very few of them had given any thought to the unique needs of the female traveler—neither in function, nor style. Being the inventor that I am, I saw a void in the market and quickly became obsessed with the idea of developing affordable luggage and travel accessories that would be incredibly chic and stylish, while also keeping us meticulously organized and efficient when we’re on the go. And Travel Essentials by Marcy McKenna was born. I truly hope you enjoy using my products as much I’ve enjoyed creating them!

I knew what I needed – compact, lightweight, hands-free and professional-grade, built for someone out for long hikes, rides or runs. But, would it be possible to get a high-PSI pump and a high-capacity rechargeable battery into a small, light and durable unit?
After extensive research, I was convinced it could be done. I spent over 2 years of development and testing, refining the specs, adding features to make it more flexible, sourcing high-quality parts and making sure it worked.
Then, finally, it was ready! And it has transformed my summer activity! I get more days out, plus I’m more comfortable and having more fun. It’s become my favorite piece of outdoor gear – and I’m sure it’ll become yours, too.
My mission was to help active people keep cooler, and that mission doesn’t end with the launch of my ExtremeMist™ PCS (Personal Cooling System). We’re just getting started. I’ve already developed multiple nozzles for use in or out of a pack. Plus, I’m working on several other ideas, including solar charging for long adventures, and an integrated safety vest for construction workers, traffic police, and municipal road workers.

Board Certification is the highest level of recognition of the competency and experience of attorneys in specialized areas of law approved by the Supreme Court of Florida. Certification was established to assist consumers of legal services in selecting specialists in various areas of law. In order to qualify as a Board Certified Patent Attorney, I have had to prove years of focused practice as a patent attorney, successfully pass a separate examination exclusively on intellectual property law, and undergo substantial peer review scrutiny proving my credentials as a specialist. Only a tiny handful of patent attorneys in the entire country are Board Certified as specialists. If you were undergoing an important surgery, wouldn’t you want the doctor cutting you open to have proven their knowledge and experience before their peers in the medical profession?

Professor John Rizvi is a Board-Certified Patent Attorney, Adjunct Professor of law, and recognized speaker in the field of intellectual property. He has over 20 years of experience in patent and trademark law and is one of the first group of attorneys ever to be Board Certified as an expert in this field.
He is a recognized TED Talker with 2 of his talks featured last year in Inventor’s Digest in a listing of the “top 10 TED Talks for Inventors”. His books "Escaping the Gray" and "Think and Grow Rich for Inventors" are international best sellers and have won critical acclaim including an endorsement from Kevin Harrington, one of the original sharks on the hit TV show - Shark Tank, responsible for the successful launch of over 500 products resulting in more than $5 billion in sales worldwide.
Professor Rizvi has been interviewed by ABC, CBS, The American Lawyer, CTV, and The Business Journal, and he perfected his craft at one of the most prestigious and revered patent law firms in the world - a firm that counts Bell, Edison, the Wright Brothers and Ford among its distinguished list of famous inventor clients.
Eventually, he grew tired of corporate patent work for large multi-national companies and formed his own law firm 18 years ago so that he could work directly with inventors and start-up entrepreneurs in helping them protect their ideas. In his own practice, he has seen his clients start with nothing but an idea and take their invention all the way through to the successful launch of their product often generating millions in revenues from the sale or licensing of their patents.

My name is Robert Bear and I am the owner of InventionStories.com and the Invention Stories Podcast.
In 2007, I invented eyewear with removable arms. I built my prototype and gave it to a local company to improve on, which they did. I performed a preliminary background check and discovered there were four other patented products, two of which were better than mine. Curiously, I couldn’t find them on the market. I began researching the invention process and learned the success rate for inventions was less than 5%. Why had so many had failed?
I searched the internet for help and found companies that would charge to help me without guaranteeing results. I believe this is wrong and that inventors deserve as much help as possible…for FREE! I also believe that inventors have a lot that they can learn from each other.
We created InventionStories.com to share the journey an inventor goes on from time idea comes to them. We began by sharing the stories that inventors have written (with permission). When we could no longer find pre-written stories, we emailed inventors and asked them to write and send their stories to us. In 2014, we began interviewing inventors and writing their stories based on these interviews. All three of these methods provided free exposure to the inventor while also offering insights into the invention process to our readers.
We’ve posted over 300 stories since 2011. What we’ve learned from this process is that too much of the invention story is lost when we try to turn the invention story told to us into a written story.
So beginning September 1, 2017, we changed our format and the Invention Stories Podcast was born! Now our listeners can hear each inventor’s story firsthand . InventionStories.com is where you can find show notes, sponsored links, and the occasional invention story written by inventors. We also update previously shared invention stories on Flashback Fridays.
If you invent products or have a start-up that's ready for retail, the Get Retail Ready podcast is THE place to hear stories and gain knowledge with the Get Retail Ready guy Jim DeBetta!

It all started in 2010 when I broke my foot the day before I was going to New York City, Fashion Capital of the World. The doctor put me in one of those big, black, awful medical boots. I searched for anything to make it fashionable. The experience motivated me to design fashion accessories to make them look better. This resulted in the immensely popular CastMedic Designs which won Steve Harvey's Top Inventor honors on his Emmy® Award winning show and have been worn by celebrities including Diana Ross.

Meet Jim Jim DeBetta’s product development and sales experience has amassed millions of dollars within the retail selling world. Known nationally as a trusted coach and mentor to thousands of inventors and entrepreneurs, he knows how to take new ideas from a sketch on a napkin to selling the final product to major retailers worldwide. Jim’s career in retail began at an early age with the family business – a fireplace and home hardware company. After graduating from college, Jim went home to help expand the business from a small successful operation into a multi-million dollar business and became one of the most recognized and respected store of its kind on Long Island. Jim stimulated new business, purchased products from all over the world, and ran the overall daily operations.
Jim decided it was time to grow and joined a start up firm that imported binoculars, telescopes, and optical products for children. His retail customers included a “who’s who” in retail such as Target, Wal-Mart, Radio Shack, Sears, Michael’s, Cabelas, Home Shopping Network, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Discovery Channel Stores, Costco, and many others. Jim employed nearly 20 people inside and had dozens of sales reps all over the US, Canada, and Europe. Ultimately, Jim helped expand the company from virtually no significant revenue to a leading brand in the industry that has sold more than 50 million dollars of product since the mid 1990′s. When Jim was ready for a new adventure, he left the company as President and Chief Operating Officer.
Jim decided he was ready for yet a bigger challenge and joined a leading premium incentive company as their National Key Accounts Manager. Jim represented major national brands for this $100 million a year premium incentive firm such as Toshiba, Sony, Nikon, Nautilus, Movado and others. The products were used to create various incentive programs for fortune 1,000 companies around the world.
Jim’s experience has reached far and wide working with various products, retailers, manufactures, and factories. He knew it was time to help those that had a product in mind or ready for production. His goal was to teach others the process without unnecessary expense, time and red tape. That is how DeCavi Corp was born.
As the founder of DeCavi Corp, Jim has helped thousands of inventors and start-ups learn how to get their products developed and sold to major retailers. Jim then merged his firm with the renowned Slingshot Product Development Group which employs a team of 35 engineers, designers, and marketing experts who help individual inventors and Fortune 500 firms alike. Both are recognized as leaders in the inventor product development and commercialization arena. Today, Jim continues to broaden his reach into the world of consumer products and has formed DeBetta Enterprises which is a private consultancy that coaches and advises inventors and entrepreneurs on everything from manufacturing to sales and marketing of consumer products. Jim also heads up the Retail Distribution arm of Kevin Harrington’s TV Goods corporation which today is fueled by the hit ABC reality show Shark Tank.
Jim teaches inventors how to create sales and marketing strategies, understand the world of licensing, develop a product using CAD design, raising money to fund a business, and locating factories overseas to produce products. Jim is now reaching out to individuals who want to learn how to do it for themselves. Jim is a Professional Member of the United Inventors Association, a member of the Georgia Inventor’s Association, Rocky Mountain Inventors Association, and was the former co-host of the Launch Hour – a popular radio program for inventors and entrepreneurs. He is also the author of The Business of Inventing and has written hundreds of articles for industry publications, newspapers, and websites such as Inventor’s Digest, Georgia Magazine, and Entrepreneur Magazine. Jim also appears as a guest speaker for leading trade and consumer organizations, speaks at international conferences, and hosts forum and blog discussions on prominent invention and entrepreneurial websites.

If you think about it, it's shocking that most wallets have no security built into them. A product which holds so much sensitive information and goes everywhere with you should be better safeguarded. So we decided to develop something both efficient and secure for your pockets. That's when Ekster® was born. A brand with the goal of optimizing the way you carry your everyday items. After meeting on a Fulbright scholarship in the USA, founders Rick and Olivier found that being Dutch wasn’t the only thing they had in common. They pitched their idea to a Kickstarter wallet enthusiast, Richard, and he was instantly sold. Together they realized that the perfect wallet wasn't only a dream; they just needed to create it. What started as a chance encounter between two Dutch college students grew into a shared passion for entrepreneurship, a frustration with existing EDC products and finally, a thriving business.

Aaron Cordovez:
After having great success in the computer science and software engineering world, I moved on to online sales on marketplaces that are heavy on Data. I created overwhelming success rapidly using my previous experience writing for non-profit magazines, high-visibility ghost writer blogs, and understanding of computers and algorithms.
I now provide select Amazon consulting to brands and companies that I believe in, as well as provide software (currently many features are in beta) for E-commerce businesses to thrive. Naturally, this was the route I would go to systematize what could be systematized and help good employees do their jobs more quickly and efficiently.

Meet Jim Jim DeBetta’s product development and sales experience has amassed millions of dollars within the retail selling world. Known nationally as a trusted coach and mentor to thousands of inventors and entrepreneurs, he knows how to take new ideas from a sketch on a napkin to selling the final product to major retailers worldwide. Jim’s career in retail began at an early age with the family business – a fireplace and home hardware company. After graduating from college, Jim went home to help expand the business from a small successful operation into a multi-million dollar business and became one of the most recognized and respected store of its kind on Long Island. Jim stimulated new business, purchased products from all over the world, and ran the overall daily operations.
Jim decided it was time to grow and joined a start up firm that imported binoculars, telescopes, and optical products for children. His retail customers included a “who’s who” in retail such as Target, Wal-Mart, Radio Shack, Sears, Michael’s, Cabelas, Home Shopping Network, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Discovery Channel Stores, Costco, and many others. Jim employed nearly 20 people inside and had dozens of sales reps all over the US, Canada, and Europe. Ultimately, Jim helped expand the company from virtually no significant revenue to a leading brand in the industry that has sold more than 50 million dollars of product since the mid 1990′s. When Jim was ready for a new adventure, he left the company as President and Chief Operating Officer.
Jim decided he was ready for yet a bigger challenge and joined a leading premium incentive company as their National Key Accounts Manager. Jim represented major national brands for this $100 million a year premium incentive firm such as Toshiba, Sony, Nikon, Nautilus, Movado and others. The products were used to create various incentive programs for fortune 1,000 companies around the world.
Jim’s experience has reached far and wide working with various products, retailers, manufactures, and factories. He knew it was time to help those that had a product in mind or ready for production. His goal was to teach others the process without unnecessary expense, time and red tape. That is how DeCavi Corp was born.
As the founder of DeCavi Corp, Jim has helped thousands of inventors and start-ups learn how to get their products developed and sold to major retailers. Jim then merged his firm with the renowned Slingshot Product Development Group which employs a team of 35 engineers, designers, and marketing experts who help individual inventors and Fortune 500 firms alike. Both are recognized as leaders in the inventor product development and commercialization arena. Today, Jim continues to broaden his reach into the world of consumer products and has formed DeBetta Enterprises which is a private consultancy that coaches and advises inventors and entrepreneurs on everything from manufacturing to sales and marketing of consumer products. Jim also heads up the Retail Distribution arm of Kevin Harrington’s TV Goods corporation which today is fueled by the hit ABC reality show Shark Tank.
Jim teaches inventors how to create sales and marketing strategies, understand the world of licensing, develop a product using CAD design, raising money to fund a business, and locating factories overseas to produce products. Jim is now reaching out to individuals who want to learn how to do it for themselves. Jim is a Professional Member of the United Inventors Association, a member of the Georgia Inventor’s Association, Rocky Mountain Inventors Association, and was the former co-host of the Launch Hour – a popular radio program for inventors and entrepreneurs. He is also the author of The Business of Inventing and has written hundreds of articles for industry publications, newspapers, and websites such as Inventor’s Digest, Georgia Magazine, and Entrepreneur Magazine. Jim also appears as a guest speaker for leading trade and consumer organizations, speaks at international conferences, and hosts forum and blog discussions on prominent invention and entrepreneurial websites.
My name is Hasani X. I’m CEO of Rise of a Leader, a business performance coach/investor, professional speaker and most recently the founder of Lead Your Story.
I grew up in the streets of Oakland California, where I learned firsthand the power of STORY. How with my STORY I was able to develop an inner-belief, strength, and conviction when everything around me said the opposite. And the truth is, without this vision of possibility guiding me, I wouldn’t be here today.
In fact, back In 1983, after crying my eyes out backstage, I nervously gave a speech. To my surprise I received a standing ovation and after total strangers came up to me stuffing money into my hands and showing me crazy love.
I was only five years old and couldn’t explain any of it. But what I did know was that STORY had the power to change my life.
That said, even with my STORY, it wasn’t easy. I still had to fight and grind it out. I started my entrepreneurial journey at nine years old. I sold ninja stars, my mamma’s tacos, and whatever else I could.
When I was 12, my dad made me go to Toastmasters meeting. At the time It sucked and felt like cruel and unusual punishment. But it kept me on the path to speaking in public and delivering my STORY.
Eventually, I overcame the odds and became the first person in my family to go to college. And to give you context, my high-school started with about 500 freshmen, but only about 38 of us graduated.
During the late 90’s while in college at the University of Pennsylvania I founded a company called A.U.N (All You Need) Marketing. It was about the sheer hustle of getting clients everything they needed to promote their brand and STORY.
After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, I upped my game and founded 4e Consulting, a business growth firm that combined gorilla marketing and strategic business consulting.
Fast forward a couple of years, and I was crushing it in business, happily married with two kids and life was all good. Then one day I received a call from my mom…
Hi Mom
“Hasani they killed him, he’s dead…”
Wait, what?
“Your brother is dead…”
My younger brother Ramin was shot and killed back in Oakland California. He lived the life that I was able somehow able to avoid. As I put the phone down stunned and heartbroken, my mind flashed back to our last conversation.
We were arguing over something, but it ended when he said…
“You were never there for me…
You weren’t the big brother I needed!”
At the time I shrugged him off because I wasn’t going to take the blame for his shit. I handled my business, he should be able to handle his (period).
But that day, starring in the mirror, I realized that I’d always been dedicated to doing what it took to succeed, but ran away when it came to leading others.
Being honest and RAW with myself I soon realized that I was comfortable doing just about anything but leading others. I thought…
Who was I to lead?
Who was I to say what’s right?
Who was I to say this is where we are going?
This realization pushed me to explore and experiment at the edges of personal growth and leadership. I knew that I had to develop a new STORY that went beyond personal success and into the realm of leading.
So I began facing my deepest fears by jumping out of planes, becoming a professional cage fighter (crazy story), mind hacking and exploring spiritual growth through 1,000’s of hours meditating, fasting weeks on end on nothing but water to studying with the worlds best minds on human psychology and performance to developing my own innovations in personal breakthrough science.
Over time I pushed into the personal development space through speaking and coaching leaders on how to building their businesses, life, and legacy (BLL). It was on this path that I finally found my true MISSION.
To build people and businesses.
Feeling the gratification of helping others to break through, I decided to go all in. I exited 4e Consulting, divested all other investment projects and founded Rise of a Leader as an out of the box leadership and team development company.
It was here that I created the Living Leadership Model. A model I’ve used working with presidents of publicly traded companies down to prisoners facing a life behind bars.
In short, anyone who would listen I helped them with my Breakthrough Performance Science. Because here’s the truth, success principles don’t care about who you are or where you come from. If you Lead It, Live It, and Love it, you’ll eventually breakthrough!
Having the good fortune of being able to sit and review my life I can that over the last 20 years, I’ve founded 2 successful marketing companies, a personal development company, helped to grow hundreds of businesses as a consultant, coached hundreds of leaders and teams, given over 1,000 presentations, speeches and workshops, all while being happily married for 17+ years, raising 3 kids, and being fulfilled and living on my terms.
In mapping out the next 20 years, I’ve decided that I finally want to combine my two passions for building businesses AND building people. So I founded Lead Your Story as a hybrid marketing company that helps businesses use STORY to drive leads, business growth, and build strong leadership.
I’m so eXcited about Lead Your Story, because I believe in the power of STORY. It saved my life and has been the root of all of my successes.
Further, I believe that STORY in the modern age is the most effective way to drive the success of business, leaders, and teams. Because with a powerful STORY you’ll attract perfect customers, recruit talented staff who believe in your cause, and FREE yourself as a business owner.
We are talking about going from trying to sell for a buck to finally sharing a STORY that you believe in. This is the type of FREEDOM that pays in business, life, and legacy building.
And who doesn’t want that?

Josh Malone American Inventor, Bunch O Balloons
Josh Malone quit his corporate job in 2006 to take his shot at the American (Inventor’s) Dream. Eight years later, savings depleted and orthodontics and college unfunded, he took one last swing before trudging back to the corporate world. And hit the homerun with Bunch O Balloons. His solution to the 63 year old problem of filling and tying water balloons instantly became the number one selling spring/summer toy. It was just as quickly knocked off resulting in a patent litigation now totaling 6 patents, 5 patent suits, 5 PTAB petitions/trials, 4 preliminary injunctions, and 8 appeals at the Federal Circuit. He is currently a Fellow with US Inventor working to restore the patent system.

Jason Jason Allen founded Ignition USA in 2017 when he began work on a new tool design for the fire service. After decades of using the same tools and following the same procedures, Jason realized that there could be better ways to handle a lot of the situations that first responders face. With that, the iconic KeyBlade design was born. Later, it was incorporated into what is now known as the Seattle Rapid Access Tool.
The idea for the KeyBlade came after years of carrying a customized tool made from modified framing square with a removable handle for passive entry on low acuity aid calls. After repeated requests from crewmembers to mass produce the tool, he began the blueprints for the first Seattle Rapid Access Tool design. Over time and with the input of his crew and fellow first responders from across the nation, the tool design was changed and modified to make it as efficient and effective as possible.
Jason grew up in the fire service, always knowing that was his passion, he followed it diligently and began volunteering with his local department at the age of 16. At only 18 years old he was hired full time with the fire department and has been in the field ever since. Jason has worked as a firefighter, apparatus operator, paramedic, officer, and engine boss on a wildland strike team. To help fund his education in his career field, Jason has also worked as a foreman for a commercial construction company, a commercial logger, concrete finisher, and security patrol officer, which has afforded him with the knowledge and expertise to create tool designs that allow passive entry into buildings. With the ability to look outside the box for better ways to make the job safer and more efficient, our company stands to push for innovative solutions to everyday problems. Since 2014 Jason has worked with the Seattle Fire Department and is now on one of the city’s busiest ladder companies.
It is the mission of Ignition USA to bring the traditions and heritage of the fire service into modern day and strive to promote the brotherhood, comradery, and fellowship that the department has ways been known for, while inventing new tools to make the job safer and efforts more precise and effective. We are excited about where this company is heading, and we have many new ideas and patents in the works that we are hoping will further revolutionize the industry.

Give Back Box® was founded in 2012 by Monika Wiela, who at the time was running an online shoe store. The idea was inspired by a homeless man she encountered in Chicago, who was holding up a sign saying he needed a pair of shoes. Wiela returned later that day with shoes for him, but he was gone. She spent that night thinking about what she could do with all the empty boxes in her warehouse and also help people like that man, and a new social enterprise was born. As Wiela researched further, she learned that, an estimated 11 million tons of clothing, footwear, towels, bedding, drapery, and other textiles end up in U.S. landfills every year. In addition, online shopping is now the preferred method for much of the buying public. Corrugated boxes are the dominant packaging method for e-commerce. With this knowledge, Wiela’s mission crystalized. If online retailers would use Give Back Box, shipping boxes and other items could be used a second time prior to being recycled. The impact would be remarkable.
Wiela’s first step to bring her dream to reality was to find a nonprofit with a national footprint that could accept donations on a grand scale. The organization would have to be able to not only accept used clothing but other items that people wanted to donate. The nonprofit enterprise also needed to have a program to recycle the boxes that it would receive, further limiting landfill waste.
The first major retailer to join Give Back Box was Newegg.com. The retailer placed Give Back Box fliers in all the boxes shipped to its customers. The flier recommended that customers re-use the boxes their purchases came in and fill them with clothes, accessories and household items, then ship them to local charities using pre-paid shipping labels. The local charities developed a system to track the packages, so when they received the boxes and scanned them in, tax receipts were generated for appropriate donors.
Give Back Box® has also teamed up with some of the biggest retailers in the U.S., including Overstock, Amazon, Loft, REI, Levi’s, Asics, Ann Taylor, Uncommongoods, Nordstrom, Viva Terra, Ecru, Bonobos, Scrubs & Beyond, eBags, Lou & Grey and many others.
The Give Back Box platform is open for any retailer who joins as a partner. It is open for donors as well, with the option to chose charity. The charities stocks their shelves with the donations, and the revenues help fund its mission of helping people in need reach their full potential through learning and the power of work. The charities also recycle every box that arrives at their facilities.
Give Back Box has truly created a new method of waste diversion for retailers because, in addition to creating a secondary use for the shipping box and guaranteeing that it will be recycled, it helps clear closets, create jobs and offer more companies and their customers an opportunity to recycle.

Kevin Mako is the Founder and President of MAKO Design + Invent, a 25-person invention development firm with offices in Toronto, Austin, and the UK. His entrepreneurial spirit was ignited during his early teenage years when he started several ultra-small businesses that built a wealth of knowledge and experience for his eventual life passion, MAKO Design + Invent. While attending one of the top business schools in North America, the Richard Ivey School of Business, Kevin incorporated MAKO in his third year at just 22 years old. Graduating as Section Class President with an additional specialization in Entrepreneurship, Kevin continued his education at the University of Hong Kong studying manufacturing and supply chain management.
MAKO Design + Invent was the first firm in North America to offer full-service professional physical consumer product development services to start-ups, and is now the largest firm in the industry in both Canada and Texas. The company provides home inventors and product developers with end-to-end consumer product development services that turn invention ideas into successful businesses. MAKO is tremendously proud to be completely grassroots and organically built with zero financing, debt, or investors. While most of Kevin’s time is spent growing the firm, Kevin also spends a great deal of time progressing the product development industry as a whole through guest speaking engagements, building robust strategic partnerships, and advancing the development of entrepreneurship through initiatives such as The Industrial Design Guild, Inventors Meetups, and the MAKO Student Innovation Awards at Ryerson.
Sitting on the Board of Trustees for Lakefield College School, a Board Member of the Brookfield Institute for Entrepreneurship, an Advisor for Next Canada, and recipient of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Gold Award, Kevin has been recognized as a standup member of the industry for his community involvement and outreach. For his industry impact, outstanding leadership and rapid business development, MAKO Invent was named one of the best companies in the US in 2016 by Entrepreneur Magazine and made the Inc5000 Fastest Growing Companies in America list. MAKO was given the award for Best Industrial Design by Creativepool in 2018, as well as named to the prestigious Entrepreneur 360 list, and named Best Product Design Firm in North America for 2019 by LUX Life Magazine.
Kevin is also the Founder of the Generation Fund, a registered charity focused on funding university placements for top high school students in financial need. As a strong believer in developing an entrepreneurial spirit, Kevin also personally finances and invests in small businesses and start-ups primarily in the professional services industries. He finds people who excel at a single skill, then through both financing and one-on-one mentoring, helps them develop their own businesses capitalizing on that talent.
His budding partnership with Shark Tank’s Robert Herjevac and Avenger’s Colbie Smulders started with Frito-Lay’s Dreamvention competition. This is a competition where families across North America enter an invention idea to win their invention idea being brought to life and a whopping grand prize of $250,000. Thanks to Kevin and MAKO Design, MAKO has changed the lives of young inventors and their families two years in a row and counting!
During his spare time, Kevin enjoys playing competitive squash and hockey year-round. During the summer months, Kevin spends his weekends exploring the outdoors. As someone with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, Kevin actively learns something new every few months which has included playing a variety of instruments, flying planes, and studying philosophy. His company MAKO recently opened up a new office in the booming Design District of Miami, Florida. Exciting times ahead!

Calvin Flowers
President & Founder Chicago Inventors Organization
Calvin Flowers relates to parents who struggle to keep their teenagers from running up the telephone bill. While growing up, he and his six siblings gave his mother headaches because they abused their telephone privileges.
“When the bill arrived, no one wanted to help pay it.” says Calvin, who recalls how his mother unplugged the phone and locked it in her bedroom as a last resort. But his siblings bought another phone, and the bill ended up being higher than ever.
Calvin had a passion for electronics and a knack for solving problems. To solve the telephone abuse for his mother, he created the “Tel-Lock”, a telephone-locking device that secures the phone at the jack. When the invention worked, Calvin knew he had something others would want.
The road to sucess was not an easy one for Calvin. In 1992, Calvin hired a now defunct invention promotion firm to help evaluate, develop, patent, and market his invention. Calvin was a novice when it came to the invention industry. For $500 the invention promotion firm did a patent search and in addition required him to pay them $9,500 in three installments. After Calvin made his final payment Calvin learned his patent application had been denied. After doing further research, Calvin discovered that one of the firm’s attorneys wasn’t even licensed to be a patent lawyer.
Through an appeal process Calvin eventually received his patent but his battle to get his invention to market was not over. He faced another hurdle when a major manufacture stole his idea. Calvin ended up settling out of court in a patent infringement suit.
Calvin’s experience shows that many inventors fall victims to so-called invention promotion firms that promise much but deliver little. Calvin started Chicago Inventors Organization so that other would not have to go through the trial and tribulations that he did.

GALIA AHARONI Galia is the founding partner of Aharoni Business Law, PC. At ABL, Galia focuses on business formation, independent contractor issues, and minimizing liability, but she enjoys working with small businesses on all of their business, employment, and intellectual property needs. She loves business law because she gets to learn about businesses and industries she never would have learned about otherwise, and by doing so is able to help other entrepreneurs fulfill their own dreams.
Galia is a born entrepreneur, and loves the thrill of growing her own business as much as she loves helping others grow their own.
Galia is a published author on intellectual property issues surrounding moral rights, and regularly speaks throughout California on a variety of legal and business issues for both lawyers and other entrepreneurs. One of her favorite things about practicing law is the collaborative process of educating people about business and the law so they’re empowered to succeed by preventing problems before they happen.
Galia graduated from Tulane University School of Law with a certificate in environmental law and a sub-focus on intellectual property, and she currently has licenses to practice law in both California and Louisiana. Prior to founding ABL, Galia was a founding partner of a Bay Area-based multi-lawyer business law firm, practiced law at private law firms in both New Orleans and Oakland, and worked as a business development attorney at a large legal publisher in Northern California. She’s also done stints as a professional proofreader/editor and a dogsitter, but the latter was mostly just an excuse to hang out with other people’s dogs.
When not working, she can be found coffee-shop hopping, reading, taking long walks with her fiancé, Mike, or collecting hobbies. A few of her favorite hobbies so far include belly dancing, glass flameworking, and tai chi.

With a background in banking and the mortgage business, inventing a product and seeking a patent was the last thing Beth Kuehl thought she would ever do. But a messing situation with a full house of teenagers got her thinking. And then she and her husband Rick Kellow, invented the GreatPlate (tm) and GreatCup (tm) - a sturdy plate with a beverage holder built into the center. It became a solution to tipped over drinks and spills she had dealt with on the home-front for years. Now her teens could carry a plate full of food or snacks and their drink at the same time - using just one hand. Beth and Rick have proved the nay-sayers wrong. Many said we wouldn't success with just a single-product company. But we did, and today, GreatPlate is a mulit-million dollar company selling their plates and cups at retail, QVC and Amazon.

The Bounce Curl Story
I am the Creator/Formulator of Bounce Curl Products and I am more than excited to share my curl secrets with you! My main goal is to empower all individuals to achieve their own dreams.
EDUCATION & EXPERIENCEI graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree with a strong focus in Chemistry. My solid foundation and extensive experience in Chemistry were valuable tools as I began formulating the first innovative Bounce Curl products. During those first four years of formulations with Bounce Curl, I also became a product formulator for over 5 different companies in the hair care, skincare, and body supplement industry. But, it did not take long for me to realize that I needed to expand my Bounce Curl product line into shampoos and conditioners so that clients could be confident that their shampoo, conditioner, cleansing conditioner, and light creme gel would all work well together and give them amazing results!
So, in the fall of 2017, I was thrilled to present an entire Bounce Curl product line for men, women and youngsters with Wavy, Curly, or Kinky curls!
ON A PERSONAL NOTE
I have had curly hair all my life and struggled for so many years trying to figure out how to properly style my curls. The list of products I’ve tried are endless. I became frustrated with all the unsuccessful results from the harsh products I was using, so I decided to do something about it! After spending 3-4 hours a day in chemistry class labs mixing acids, balancing acid/base equations, analyzing bacteria in microbiology, and reading IR spectrums - I helped create Bounce Curl and I have also created beauty products for other companies in this incredible industry.
My parents taught me from a young age to take great care of my hair. I have always had long, shiny and strong hair and I believe it is because I was raised to use only home-made, natural ingredients on my hair. My grandmother played an important role in developing my hair care routines and she has been my inspiration for Bounce Curl. She would mix up special formulas using only natural ingredients and she always used black seed oil. Nigella Sativa (black seed oil) is one of the secret middle eastern oils and has been used by me and my family for many years. My experience with natural ingredients date back to my childhood. I have fond memories of going to my backyard, scraping aloe vera out of the plant, boiling flax seeds and using them as hair gels. I love mixology and DIY (Do-It-Yourself) projects!
The Bounce Curl Tradition of Excellence
At Bounce Curl, we are committed to creating products that do not use harsh chemicals. We carefully select natural ingredients that can style, moisturize and hold your beautiful curls. There are certain ingredients that the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) requires us to include in our products; preservatives are a good example of this because they work to keep the product stable and safe from growing any bacteria. FDA has strict rules and, as a responsible company, we follow the rules!
At Bounce Curl, we believe that Beauty is Shared. We realize that every individual is different and educate our customers on hair, skin & body care. We are HUGE FANS of mixology. You will want to check out our blog section where we share advice, news and product reviews. We are also committed to Serving with a Genuine and Pure Heart,exemplified byour Custom Wig Donation Program. Every month we create and donate a full custom wig with real human hair to an individual who has lost their hair to chemotherapy or any other medical condition. As a company with the heart and intention to serve, we are pleased to be able to help those going through difficult times; everyone should feel beautiful!

About Donteacia Eight years ago I was laid off from my job.
The country was in the middle of a recession, and the government wasn't hiring.
After 2 months of trying to get a job without any luck, I began to feel that I would never get one. So I did what most do in that situation, I started a business. And I have to admit, I had the right contacts in place that for the first 5 or 6 months things went really well.
...and then the money dried up. I didn't have a plan in place to get new business. Hell, I didn't know how to get new business. In all honesty I didn't quite understand what it was I did exactly...and neither did anyone else.
I created and organized events and raised money via sponsorship to pay for them.
I would analyze the health of non-profits and small businesses and create strategic plans for them.
I would do freelance work raising money for organizations.
I built websites. I was hired to do some political consulting on a few campaigns. I updated resumes and built out LinkedIn pages.
As you can see, I was all over the place. My single goal was to keep the lights on, and at times, even that was a struggle.
...but I survived, and sometimes even thrived.
Fast forward to 2013 and I have this brilliant idea and decide I would create this awesome new product and launch it to the world. After quite a few stumbles and some major successes, I was able to exit that company in the black. I have gone on to coach hundreds of entrepreneurs, raise over $1M for their products and services, launch Founders Brunch, a bi-annual brunch where founders come from all over the country to fellowship around entrepreneurship, and become a start up mentor for the State of Florida.
I've also launched a new program to help inventors build and launch their products.
...and sometimes I write the occasional engaging article for The Huffington Post. To find out more about what I do and to access some free resources, you can visit my website at www.donteaciaseymore.com To schedule a call with a member of our team, go to www.lifebeforethetank.com/talk

☛WHAT I DO: I help Bioscience Experts leverage my network and expertise for guaranteed clarity in how to bring their vision to reality.
☛WHY IT MATTERS:
Bringing a new technology or a new product to market is the stuff of which dreams are made. That’s the story that people who have never done it often tell themselves, but you can look around and see the remnants of failed businesses and bankrupt entrepreneurs. To bring something from an idea to reality you need the right plan, the right team, the right amount of funding, the right everything.
You can definitely do this by finding the right people and building the right team. Easier said than done, the better option is to partner with a highly experienced and extremely successful mentor who can walk alongside you and give you the keys to success.

The novel: Mr. Nice Guy
Purchase Here: https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Nice-Guy-Jennifer-Miller/dp/1250189888
Release date: October 16, St. Martin's Press
In Brief: Each week, two writers named Lucas and Carmen are tasked with a excruciatingly public, often humiliating task: They must sleep together, and then critically review each other’s sexual performance in a magazine. This is about what happens when people are honest about the thing nobody’s ever totally honest about. The novel is written by two people who, as it so happens, have also slept together—married couple Jason Feifer (editor in chief, Entrepreneur magazine) and Jennifer Miller (novelist, The Year of the Gadfly). Which is to say, yes, a writer couple wrote about a writer couple with a very… complicated relationship.
Details about us / working together:
-
For Entrepreneur, Jason commissioned a survey of 1,007 people from SurveyMonkey Audience, asking them if they’ve worked with close friends, family, or spouses. 87% said yes, and 78% said it was a good experience. They also identified some of the most important ways to make it work, including: having distinct roles and responsibilities, allowing for constructive criticism, and setting aside nonword time to spend together. Good data to talk about for the show!
-
Jen and I met on OKCupid. She said yes to a date because I used a semicolon correctly in my first message to her. (That would feature prominently later: The New York Times wrote about our wedding, and its lede was “It all began with a semicolon.”)
-
We’ve always been comfortable working together. One of our first big challenges while dating was when Jen asked me to edit her first novel. Definitely a make-or-break moment for an early relationship. (I said yes; we survived, and it was published.)
-
The idea for Mr. Nice Guy started with me in my 20s. A sex columnist had reached out to me asking for writing advice, and we started up a correspondence. That sparked the idea: What would happen if two people had to regularly have sex and then review each other?
-
I tried to write the novel for years, but failed each time. I’m a non-fiction guy. I just didn’t know how to do fiction. But then I married a novelist. After Jen sold her most recent novel a few years ago, she asked me what I thought her next project should be. “You should write my novel, because I’m never going to do it,” I said. “We should do it together,” she said. And so, it began.
-
It took us three years to write—plotting over dinner, during vacations, writing on nights and weekends and early mornings. We split up the actual writing: Jen wrote the majority of the story, I wrote the columns and some selected scenes, and then we edited each other’s work.
-
The book-marketing and selling process always turns Jen into an anxious wreck. She says the only reason she’s holding it together this time is because she wrote it with me.
John Clauson grew up believing he was the son of an IBM salesman. Though the family moved often and John s father, Wallace Clauson, rarely spoke of his work, his family never questioned him nor seemed to notice the inconsistencies and oddities apparent in their daily life. Only decades later, while in his mid-30s, did John finally learn the truth from his father as he was dying of cancer. For over forty years, being an IBM salesman was just a cover. Wallace's real job was with IBM s covert Federal Systems Group where, as a mathematical and mechanical savant, he took his orders from the Department of Defense and was charged with ensuring America's arsenal of nuclear missiles hit their targets. Over the span of three days, as he and his father built a backyard fence, John learned his father's hidden story how Wallace Clauson has been recruited from an Iowa farm due to an error in a high school textbook. He learned of a meeting with Einstein, and about his father's role in the Cold War, and NASA and Iranian missiles. Stunned into silence and left to question the entire fabric of his youth, John wanted only to forget his father's words. In fact, for the next fifteen years, he never spoke about what his father had confessed over that weekend. But he couldn t truly forget. Upon his father's death, John was given his father's workbench, which contained a hidden packet of business cards Wallace's final plea to have his story told. Thus the journey toward discovering the extraordinary clandestine life and career of Wallace Clauson began. Missileman is the story of that journey. It is the true account of how Wallace Clauson kept his real work hidden from his family and his neighbors for fifty years. Moving every few years, even living for a period Zurich, Switzerland, Clauson led a life full of anxiety and suspicion. Missileman tells how Clauson would always check flight manifests before flying and would be the last one on the plane to make sure no unregistered passenger had embarked. How he always backed into his driveway to ensure a quick getaway if necessary. How he had his son s car fitted with a GPS transmitter in the 1970s! How in Switzerland they lived in a house with a secret passageway leading to an underground meeting room. And how the family was always watched by multiple agents to ensure their safety. Missileman is a story of intrigue and wonder and discovery as son John Clauson reveals how his father, a stealth government agent working against the Russians during the Cold War, somehow managed to maintain a double life and keep his family safe and sheltered from the many dangers inherent in his secret life as a missileman.

At least $17 million. That is what my Bunch O Balloons patent has cost so far. It could grow to $50 million. Yes, we are talking about water balloons, not smartphones.
How can this be? Because the patent grant issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office means nothing to infringers like Telebrands and Walmart. They simply ignore the patent and rush to take over the market with their knock-offs (Balloon Bonanza in 2015, Battle Balloons in 2016, and Easy Einstein Balloons in 2017). Then they use those revenues to hire attorneys and experts to say the patent is invalid. If the patent owner lacks deep pockets or good lawyers, his patent will not survive. If he does have access to infinite funds, he has about a 5 percent chance of survival thanks to the America Invents Act(AIA) and the USPTO’s implementation of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB).
Fortunately, sales of the original Bunch O Balloons have been sufficient to maintain the legal fight. Zuru, the exclusive licensee of my patents, has done an outstanding job producing, marketing and distributing the original Bunch O Balloons. They have cooperated in defending the challenges to the patents brought by the infringers. We have mountains of objective indicia of non-obviousness, including recognition as best selling toy and an admission of copying by the infringer: “[t]his is only the first proto so assume this will have 37 filler rods and balloons…exactly like the original ‘Bunch of Balloons.’” Every fact is in our favor. It is the most cut and dry patent infringement case imaginable. But the outcome is uncertain due to the deteriorated condition of our patent system.

It all started with a daughter's quest to find a solution for her mother's cold feet. With agreement that this state of affairs did not have to be, she embarked upon a journey to find a remedy. The search yielded nothing but disappointment. The daughter decided that she would invent the solution herself.
Research revealed the cold feet “problem” to be even more widespread than expected - many who had resigned themselves to their fate. With renewed vigor, several concepts were developed. Ideas were refined, streamlined, optimized. 18 months later, Cozy Tozy was born, the most elegant solution for banishing cold feet forever!
Cozy Tozy is the first of many new products we, at Buhblz, will bring to add to the joy in your life and warmth to your home.

Alexandria started her passion for fashion at age ten, when she persuaded her mother to let her be an assistant at her Fashion Design Studio everyday after school. At that young age she learned a lot about design and running a fashion business. At the age of thirteen her family moved from Nigeria to Atlanta, Georgia and she started her modeling career. She modeled for major companies throughout the South.
As her modeling career advanced she fell in love with the beauty and glamour of the industry, she fell in love with the well crafted luxurious Items specifically handbags that she got to wear as a model. But soon she realized that most women including her could not afford the luxurious accessories and clothing that she modeled in magazines and on the runway.
After earning her Masters Degree in Business Administration in 2008, she decided to put her educational background with her years of experience in the fashion industry and create a luxurious brand for the busy woman on the go. With the support her husband Alfred Alli, F&W Style was born. F&W Style handbags are in over 90 boutiques including select Ritz Carlton Gift shops nationwide, and featured in several publications including Modern Luxury, Black Enterprise, Jezebel Magazine, Atlanta Magazine, CBS, Atlanta Plugged-In and more.

The natural soap found in these berries is called saponin. Saponin is a natural cleaner that works as a surfactant, breaking the surface tension of the water to penetrate the fibers of your clothing, lifting stains from the fabric, and leaving dirt suspended in the water that is rinsed away.
Eco Nuts Soap Nuts are gentle on both clothes and skin, making them ideal for those with sensitive skin, eczema, allergies and psoriasis. Because they are so mild, they are perfect for baby clothes and even cloth diapers. All-Natural Eco Nuts Soap Nuts are also great for septic and grey water systems. Unlike commercial soaps, that have artificial foaming agents, soap nuts do not produce lots of bubbles or foam. While commercial detergents and soaps have marketed heavily around that visual, foam simply is not an indicator of cleaning power.

Do you or anyone you love suffer from hip pain, lower back pain, or sore or cramping legs, particularly when you drive long distances or sit for long periods of time? Do you get to a rest area and climb out of your car wincing and hobbling along? That used to be me. When I would drive up and down I-75 between Florida and Michigan several times a year, I wouldn’t only be sore on the drive, but for days after I got there. I’ve been a massage therapist for over 20 years, so I spent some time figuring out why I was so sore and what I could do about it. I noticed that if I put my hand between the leg and the door, that gave me some relief. Only I couldn’t very well hold my hand there for 10 hours at a time. I thought, how wonderful would it be to have something to hold my leg? And that’s when the idea for the Driving Wedges was born. A quick anatomy commentary: most people sit in a car with their legs splayed out, one leg resting against the door, the other resting against the console. This external rotation of the legs at the hip joints for prolonged periods of time destabilizes the pelvis, causing imbalance and pain in the hips, lower back, and legs. It can even travel up to the shoulders and neck, which I believe is why many people experience a stabbing pain behind their shoulders when they drive. Well, Driving Wedges are the solution to that! They keep the hips and legs aligned. Not only that, but the light, sustained pressure on the outside of the thighs can give a little myofascial release along the ileo-tibial band, which can help with knee and hip problems. (I’m happy to explain that more in depth if you’re interested). After using the Driving Wedges for about two years, I am walking better than I have in about a decade. I feel better after a long drive than I did when I left. I use them all of the time, even if I’m just running down the street to the grocery - because it is just so much more comfortable. I started selling them in November 2016 on Amazon. I sold a few dozen, but the costs on Amazon were high and I was running out of money, so I closed that account and just sold from my website. Then I completely ran out of money and started working two full-time jobs and I haven’t focused on the Driving Wedges in almost a year. I’m about ready to start focusing on them a bit again. I’d really like to find someone/group to partner with. From the people who’ve used them, I’ve learned they have even more market potential than I originally thought. They can be used anywhere - as long as they fit on the seat. One client uses them in her recliner - and they have helped her hip problems/pain tremendously. I had several great reviews on Amazon (I saved them). Another client found great relief from the weight of her prosthetic leg and bought a set on the spot as soon as she tried them. They can also help athletes and people with ITB syndrome or related issues. There is literally nothing on the market like Driving Wedges. I have no competition. There’s nothing that does what they do. I have the design patent and the utility patent is pending, currently in litigation. Market potential: truck drivers (3.5 million), commuters (139 million), drivers (193,552,000) - and that’s just in the US. - also, office workers, athletes, people with hip pain, people with prosthetic legs - anyone who sits for long periods of time.

Cara is a wife, mother, and the Owner/CEO of Jazzie Beans LLC, a business she named after her Shih-Tzu/Maltese mix. Her dog Jazzie Beans is such a sweet and happy dog that Cara had to name her company Jazzie Beans to reflect that happiness and sweetness in her every day life and into her company! Before her company was born, Cara created the Sippie Clippie™, a patent pending clamp and cord accessory to prevent sippy cups from hitting the ground. When Cara's first son was six months old, he would drop his sippy cup all of the time. The first time he did it, he thought it was funny and so the sippy-cup-dropping-game began. Cara could not find anything on the market that would work on her high chair or table, so she went to the hardware store, bought a clamp that would fit over a high chair (which was super huge), drilled a hole and attached a cord and hair tie. Cara actually took her first prototype out in public to restaurants and received so much feedback. After receiving so much feedback, Cara wanted a small, fashionable clamp that was sleek and cute that would fit into a diaper bag or purse. While trying to juggle mom-hood and creating the Sippie Clippie™, Cara had another son. With her first son already an extremely hard baby and having a newborn, her invention had to wait. Her main job was to be a mom first!! It has been about five and half years since Cara had the clamp and cord device idea. After her wonderful boys were a bit older and she had a little more time to work on her project, she was able to hire a couple of engineers, an attorney and obtain the Sippie Clippie™ as it is today. It is an awesome gift for first time moms and baby showers! Please feel free to email Cara with any questions or comments, she would love to hear from you.

Anyone who has ever cut their finger while cutting or chopping food may want to thank RJ Batts, the 15-year-old inventor of Tip Tough®, a simple and inexpensive way to protect professional chefs and home cooks from injury. When RJ was 12, he became consumed with the idea that there had to be a way to help his dad, a professional chef, protect his hands. Bob would often come home with painful cuts and bandaged fingers which sometimes kept him out of work. A year later, 3-D printouts in hand, RJ was accepted into the Young Entrepreneurs Academy at the Salisbury (MD) Area Chamber of Commerce and formed his company, Picklehead LLC. For months he went to classes and on field trips after school, learning how to set up a business, find funding, craft a pitch, and bring the Tip Tough® to market – all while attending middle school and playing on his soccer team. In October 2016, RJ received start-up funding from the Shore Hatchery Competition at Salisbury University (beating out grown-ups from 30 businesses) for a Second-Place award of $15,000. Then, TEDCo awarded Picklehead the Rural Business Innovation Grant for the design and prototype phase of the Pro Chef Tip Tough® in stainless steel and the Home Chef Tip Tough® in molded plastic. In March 2017, RJ was featured as the youngest inventor to present a product at the International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago, and was chosen to pitch to Home Shopping Network. Since then, he has brought his product through the manufacturing and packaging process while honing his skills as an entrepreneur by attending the inaugural HSN’s American Dreams Academy. RJ’s business is driven by 3 core values: Families and friends should be able to get into the kitchen and prepare, fresh healthy meals safely. Food is love and memories are priceless. Our products will be made in the USA because we believe in local jobs for local people. Give back to the community by encouraging students to invent and start their own businesses. RJ speaks at local schools and career fairs and works with the Young Entrepreneurs Academy, Junior Achievement, Halo, and the MD Food Bank.

Quirky is a free community-led invention platform that brings real people’s ideas to life. Invention is hard. It requires a diverse set of skills, and it costs a lot of money. Everyday people have brilliant ideas but no way to see them become real products. Quirky makes inventing and selling products possible by pairing inventors with product designers and big manufacturing companies that can bring their ideas to life.
Before becoming a mom to twins, I had a corporate career as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Behavioral Analyst and considered myself a very social person. Once the twins arrived, my world changed. For various reasons, my husband and I decided I would stay home with the kids. This decision excited and terrified me at the same time. How did I keep my sense of "me" and still be a good mom to these beautiful babies? For the first few months we really didn't go anywhere for fear of germs for our preemie babies. After a few months of that, my husband and I started taking them out and realized we had to lug a lot with us to feel comfortable. When Brian went back to work it was me, by myself. I realized through my sleepy new-mom stupor that I really wanted to have lunch with my friends. Just get out of the house with the kids and do SOMETHING. So, when I was chatting about my fears of restaurant floors, my awesome husband threw out some ideas. I started with a prototype using stuff we had in the basement. I tried it out and ta-da! It worked! I ran with the idea and The Drop Stopper was born. I felt my confidence grow as the problem of dirty restaurant floors and running after rolling bottles disappeared. I started going out with the babies weekly and found it got easier for me, and my kids were noticeably better at "being out" than some of my other friends' kids. We received comments from parents on The Drop Stopper everywhere we went, questioning where they could buy one. So here I am, helping to bring back some sanity and increase the confidence of new parents everywhere!

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A CUPCAKE BOUQUET? THE FIRST TIME I SAW A CUPCAKE BOUQUET, I THOUGHT TO MYSELF THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I COULD EVER CREATE ANYTHING SO BEAUTIFUL! I had no cake decorating skills, no patience and absolutely no time, just like most Americans. I wanted to invent an easy and affordable way for anyone, just like me, to be able to easily create a deliciously gorgeous cupcake bouquet. The idea came about when my daughter, Chelsea, and I were planning a baby shower for my daughter, Shaanon. As a unique twist for the party, we were going to present a beautiful cupcake bouquet instead of a traditional cake. After pricing the bouquet, making one, DIY style, sounded like a better option. But then, after pricing the pieces to create a cupcake bouquet – Styrofoam ball, tissue paper, flower pot, toothpicks, etc. – and understanding that the end result may not end up as lovely as expected, a traditional cake seemed the most appropriate dessert for the shower. THERE WAS NO CUPCAKE BOUQUET AT OUR SHOWER, HOWEVER, AN IDEA WAS BORN! https://thecupcakerack.com

Much like the King of England was born into his life as royalty, I was born into this life of the grocery industry. Okay okay, royalty and grocery cannot even be compared but I thought that would be a good ice breaker to introduce myself. It was about 30 years ago that my father had started a distribution company for licensed sports product (NCAA, NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, FIFA, NASCAR) to grocery, drug and c-stores where we created shopper marketing displays and did category management. In middle school and high school, I would spend my summers and weekends working in the warehouse doing pick n pack for chains like Meijer and Kroger. In high school, I started to work with vendors, handle shipping logistics, work with account management for the retailers. In college, I owned the accounts for Publix, Walgreens and CVS where I worked with category managers, buyers, district managers and store managers. I built p.o.p. displays and planograms as well as sold product through corporate offices. In 2015, I joined SwiftIQ, a data analytics start-up because I have a passion for helping the industry move forward to compete with e-commerce and best serve shopper needs. I brought the first grocery chain client and a $26.5B CPG client. To be all hands on deck for the companies needs, I transitioned to client success to consult with clients to take the data to create activations in shopper marketing, shrinkage, distribution and new retailer promotional programs.

Madison and White was founded by Kamela Hurley at the start of 2015. After a disaster DIY hair experiment, she was at a local beauty supply store where she found satin pillowcases for sale. One touch of the cheap satin pillowcases and she knew she could do better. On impulse, she began research on textiles, benefits, and created samples based on that research. After just one night of sleep on her pillowcases, she couldn't believe the difference. Her morning hair wasn't messy, she didn't have sleep wrinkles, and her skin and hair felt hydrated. She was so amazed by the difference that she made pillowcases for all the ladies in her family. Her family started talking and sharing with their friends and that's when the orders starting happening.
In a week, Kamela had over $500 pillowcases on order to friends and of friends from Los Angeles to Toronto. Without telling the world, Kamela opened a store on Etsy. Within the next week, she got a call from The Marilyn Denis Show on CTV, a nationwide morning talk show in Canada on par with Live with Kelly and Michael or The View in The States, that they wanted to feature her pillowcases on the show! Literally, overnight, her business was born.

Kevin Bunn, a father of two small children and a stay-at-home entrepreneur, is one of those “guys” that helps with the household chores, especially the laundry. He became very frustrated every time he did the laundry – he would throw the dirty matched socks into the washer, and out from the dryer would come a plie of solo socks, no longer paired. After countless research and trying many different solutions, it was apparent nothing worked, and he knew there had to be a way to resolve this common problem. With a background in mechanical engineering, sales, and marketing, he invented the SockDock® – a simple and easy-to-use sock organizer designed to wash, dry, and store socks from “dirty feet” to “clean & neat.”

With assurances that she would soon be earning millions, Crystal Carlson of Coolidge paid more than $36,000 to patent and market her infant car seat technology. Other inventors paid more — in some cases, 10 times more. But the company was only selling a dream, and did little or nothing for its clients. Rather than shrug and go away like so many others before her, Carlson fought back. Largely thanks to her efforts to rally other inventors and demand justice, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) went to court to freeze the company’s assets earlier this year pending a lawsuit. Crystal Carlson discusses her story and how she was able to rally the other inventors to demand justice.

The Hang-O-Matic was developed by the husband and wife team of Jared and Karina Rabin. Rewind to 2008 when Jared and Karina were first time homeowners and facing a task that every homeowner, decorator, handyman and even college students have faced at one time or another. As Karina was decorating her new home office, the seemingly simple task of hanging a shelf straight on a wall proved to be anything but. After making several trips to the hardware store and patching and repainting the wall, the shelf was finally up and proudly displaying an irreplaceable snow globe she received from her in-laws, which was customized to play their wedding song from the 70’s. Needless to say, it had immense sentimental value. Before she could finish decorating, the snow globe fell, shattered to pieces, and water spilled everywhere. The shelf was tilted by only a fraction of an inch.
It was then, that Jared remembered a picture hanging tool he had invented in college. He dusted off the first prototype of the Hang-O-Matic and hung the shelf perfectly level in one try. This tool was just too good to keep to themselves, they had to share it with the world. With Jared’s clever design and Karina’s vision for success, the Hang-O-Matic was born and together this couple set out to pursue their American Dream and make your life a little easier along the way. Fast forward to present day where Jared and Karina are now proud business owners. Their desire to solve a simple problem with an innovative, yet easy-to-use solution led to Hang-O-Matic being a household and DIY essential.

My mission as an IP Attorney is to help people recognize, protect and profit from their good ideas. As a Registered Patent Attorney based in Buffalo, New York, I focus on all types of Intellectual Property law.
As an IP attorney, I file patent and trademark applications in the United States and abroad. I manage large corporate patent and trademark portfolios, and have established associations with hundreds of Intellectual Property law firms around the world. I have extensive experience in patent and trademark prosecution, patent and trademark infringement litigation, trademark registration and copyright registration.
As a Corporate IP Consultant, I recognize that intellectual property is a highly valuable corporate asset and exploiting that asset to make a profit is paramount to corporate success. While working with corporate management I implement patent, trademark and copyright policies meant to streamline and efficiently centralize the management of the corporation’s intellectual property. I train corporate employees to identify intellectual property and maintain proper records in template corporate disclosure documents to preserve intellectual property rights. I organize an IP committee comprised from selected members of corporate management to periodically review the corporate disclosure documents with the inventors to determine the feasibility of manufacturing, marketing and most importantly return on investment (ROI). I oversee implementing the strategy of protecting the company’s intellectual property by obtaining patent protection, by maintaining the technology as a trade secret or the implementation some other strategy such as setting up a defensive publication to shield the company from litigation.
As an Inventor Consultant, I analyze new inventions to determine feasibility of patentability and commercialization. Inventors are often interested in entering into licensing agreements to profit from their invention. Our office acts as a broker of royalty deals by establishing contact with manufacturers and marketers positioned to bring new products to the national market. We also engage in the preparation of licensing/royalty agreements.

The Cruze is a Powered by Quirky product, invented by real people like you!
Michael was riding an electric skateboard for the first time and he thought it was a great idea but the hand held remote function caused the skateboard to jerk when speeding up or slowing down. He wanted to make it possible to control speed levels and cruise control with just his foot.
Thus Cruze was born. It brings a new take on electric skateboards using a foot-controlled sensor and allows smooth and remote-less riding for those who want to have a good time without exhausting themselves. It smoothly transitions through different speed modes to keep you comfortable while cruising. Ride to work or simply for fun on this Hover-1 Cruze electric skateboard. The Cruze’s patent pending design highlights a unique foot sensor to engage the motor instead of the typical remote controlled skateboards. With a charge time of 2 hours, this Hover-1 Cruze electric skateboard rides at up to 11 MPH for up to 9 miles.

She has built a career through strategic thinking, willpower, and – most importantly – not being afraid of a “no” when faced with a challenge.

When she launched CastMedic Designs, Christina had no publicity budget, taught herself the ins and outs of PR and in less than a year appeared in over 50 media outlets (including national television and magazines) by figuring out a precise formula the media responded to and repeating it for continued success. To date, she has been featured in over 250 media outlets including the Steve Harvey Show and TODAY. Upon launching PR for Anyone® to help small business owners, entrepreneurs, authors and professionals from multiple industry sectors learn how to easily and effectively generate their own publicity. Working with clients, PR for Anyone has generated well over 7 figures in sales from free publicity.

With 3 in every 5 stay at home Moms considering or already running a home-based business these days, Jen was definitely not alone when she chose to make the leap and buy into Rodan & Fields. She still however felt that way. Mothering and working was not what she expected. She hoped to continue to move her career, worth and hourly pay forward at the same pace she was before kids. Finances were tight with her husband being a teacher and although she desired and tried for much more they just kept coming up short. Jen maintained her new sales position and R&F while working in a restaurant for a while longer than she anticipated and while she grew quite weary and fell into bed exhausted most nights, she continued calling on her faith in Gods timing to see her through. Which it did. She just recently made the leap into working 100% as Mom and when she can in her sales position – all while finally maintaining the income she hoped for with the hours she had left over after her family was cared for. Jens story is a huge inspiration in following your heart, bringing your head with you and trusting in God’s blessing over us Moms when we chose to put our families first.

Lori was frustrated when washing her dog, needing a third hand to hold the hose while soaping, scrubbing, and rinsing. Joanne is a mother of four active kids and grew tired of her laundry room being muddied by dirty sports equipment, she wanted an easy way for the kids to clean their equipment and cleats before coming into the house. So one day over lunch, coffee and a few drinks the Hose Hooker was born. FUNDERDOME with Steve Harvey is a seed-funding competition reality series where two budding entrepreneurs go head-to-head to win over a live studio audience to fund their ideas, products or companies. The audience represents the "customer" and, as the customer is always right, they vote to determine the winner. But the entrepreneurs will face a major dilemma: one of them is allowed to cash out and walk away for less money. But if an entrepreneur cashes out, they forgo the opportunity to win the whole cash prize for that round—a good move if they lost the crowd vote, but a bad move if they would have won it.

Antonia Saint Dunbar Nominated as one of Women 2.0's "Top Female Founders to Watch" in 2015, and called a "Feminist Genius" by the press for the invention of THINX which was one of TIME Magazine's "Top 25 Inventions for 2015," Antonia is passionate about disruptive innovation to provide solutions for women. She has created companies that are dedicated to purpose in addition to profits, and is inspired to achieve gender equality worldwide.
1) THINX was a TriBeCa Disruptive Innovation winner alongside the likes of the founders of Warby Parker, Twitter and Kickstarter as well as Scooter Braun (Justin Beiber) and Adam Braun (Pencils of Promise).
2) Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, designers and artists, Antonia learned early on that you can create something out of nothing and that your idea can end up existing in the world at large. When she led the design of THINX and wrote the patent, she felt it already "in her DNA" to do so.
3) Before co-founding THINX, Antonia was a marketing/PR executive who made key partnerships at various production companies, and she has also toured the world and played cello with artists like Carly Simon and John Forte of The Fugees.

Thursday, February 18, 2016 was a busier day than most. As Founder and Executive Director of Podfest, one of the largest annual conferences for podcasting in the country, Chris Krimitsos was running in seven different directions, locking down final details for the Second Annual Podfest, which was opening the next week. As he was frantically crisscrossing Tampa that day, Chris was struck by just how many established and respected podcasters were going to be attending the next weekend’s conference – folks like Danny Peña, Glenn the Geek, Lee Silverstein, Katie Krimitsos, Jessica Kupferman, Dave Jackson, Diane Daniels, and so many more. Chris began envisioning a way to utilize all the talent he’d have under one roof to inspire others via their stories. As often happens in creative endeavors, that kernel of an idea soon blossomed into a full-fledged film.

TOPICS: Easing into full time mom mode from three jobs at once, tips for making tough health choices for kids with troubled tummies, guts, bowels and attitudes (YES, it’s all connected).
Kristen LOVED to work and worked more for fun than money most her life. She even had three jobs once, just to stay busy. She really wasn’t sure she would ever want to be a Mom and give that up. She loved having her “own” money to spend. Funny how God gives us what we need instead of what we want…..and then some. Not only did she find herself with two kiddos (of course that she can’t imagine life without them now) but because she is also married to a fireman, she has 3 months a year to raise them all on her own. One of her kiddos was also born with severe tummy trouble. Trouble that made for almost 2 years of rageful tears, sleepless nights and more moments than she can count of wondering what she got herself into and how she would ever make her way out. Through countless hours of trial and error, prayer and research, juicing and chopping and feeding her daughter with a syringe at one point…she made it to the other side. She has much to share about what it’s like to be a full time mom and how important potting soil is in growing up kids.

Retail experts, entrepreneurs, serial inventors, investors and even the sharks themselves generally agree that you should develop a go to market plan before you start any type of product development. A plan can help you move forward, make decisions, and make your invention a successful one. However, not all products or circumstances are the same, not every inventor will go in the same direction.

At Creative Mechanisms, we engineer ideas into reality, from the most rudimentary back-of-the-napkin sketches to a fully-functioning model. We understand that even though you've been asked for a prototype, the only thing that will really satisfy is a product, which can be packaged and put on the shelves. The market often dictates tight deadlines, because there's no point in putting out a product if consumer interest has waned. With our market-driven focus, we look beyond simply creating a working prototype and look towards getting your product on the shelves before the concept goes stale. We don't just make prototypes - we make products. Products which are designed to be manufactured in your facilities. Products which are designed to be appealing, useful, and problem-solving. It's time to stop designing in the dark, never being sure what you're going to get as a prototype, or when it will finally arrive. It's time to consider Creative Mechanisms

Andrew was born and raised in California’s Silicon Valley, where he grew up being surrounded by passionate innovators—and what he identified early on as an unhealthy obsession with venture capital. When he discovered licensing, it was like a light bulb went off. “Everyone gets excited about raising money,” he said. “But licensing is much more sexy!” For one, there’s so much less financial risk—and yet still so much opportunity. He got excited about teaching inventors how to harness the power of open innovation and continues to be as excited, if not more, today.
As the day-to-day manager of inventRight’s operations for over thirteen years and its head coach, Andrew has seen it all—and coached inventors through it. “At this point, our students have experienced every scenario you can possibly imagine,” he said. “Whether it’s communicating with a company that has never licensed an idea from an outside inventor before or signing a multi-million dollar deal, we’ve done it.” He continues to be inspired by the opportunity to work with people who are not only passionate about their ideas, but also committed to making money from them. He began coaching inventors over fourteen years ago as the President of the Inventors’ Alliance group in the San Francisco Bay Area. Andrew grew Inventors’ Alliance into one of the most active and well-established associations in the inventors’ community across the country. His expertise in the field of innovation was federally recognized when he was asked to advise the last president council on what changes could be made to the United States Patent and Trademark Office to better serve independent inventors. He has also been featured on National Public Radio’s Science Friday and as a licensing expert at USPTO conferences.
Several years ago, spurred by the feeling that the Bay Area was getting just a little too crowded, Andrew moved to Henderson, Nevada with his wife, where they are raising their daughter.
“Every day someone tells us how much we’ve helped them, and that means the world to me.”
InventRight is a company dedicated to empowering people to bring their product ideas to market through licensing. They train students in over 40 countries to use the ten step process created by Stephen Key and Andrew Krauss and introduced in their book: “One Simple Idea: How to Turn Your Product Idea Into a Licensing Goldmine”. www.inventright.com

While painting his house, Chris was using a 2” brush and came to a spot that needed a ¾” to 1” sized brush, but didn’t feel like going to find the smaller brush, so he just dabbed the 2” brush into the spot, and as you would imagine, paint ended up in places that it did not belong. I saw that spot almost every day for the next several years, until one day I just thought, “ If I could have just split the brush right down the middle…”. That was the beginning.

We discuss the 3 main types of patents and talk about a great tool almost every inventor should use called a Provisional Patent or PPA. Using this to lock in their idea with the USPTO, claiming Patent Pending status and making certain the inventor is the first to file.
