Her guests are titans in the industry and whether you are new to the industry or a seasoned veteran, there is a lot of information here that’s super helpful.

Thanks for what you're doing. I also wanted to give you your props. Last year, I had a 4th grade class evaluate my game in a "Maker Collaboration." They really enjoyed the game and provided some suggestions for improvements. You mentioned those exact recommendations on one of your podcasts where you discussed the key components of a great game. I've been following you ever since!
Helpful insights, tips and tricks for inventors

I’ve listened to all the inventing related podcasts out and this has become one of my favorites. While toy industry is all about fun, it’s also one of the most competitive when it comes to licensing inventions. It’s great to be able to pick up little important details about the industry while driving around and I’m really grateful for this wonderful content.
