    Critical Mass Business Talk Show: Ric Franzi Interviews Aimee Roberson, Founder of Meister Solutions (Episode 1487)

    Critical Mass Business Talk Show: Ric Franzi Interviews Aimee Roberson, Founder of Meister Solutions (Episode 1487)

    Aimee Roberson invented, patented, and brought to market a product called DryMeister under her company name Meister Solutions. DryMeister is a drying wand that dries the inside of containers you can’t reach inside to dry - things like reusable water bottles, wine glasses, hydration packs, baby bottles, vases, and other odd-shaped and sometimes delicate items. Since launching a little over a year ago, DryMeister has been sold on Amazon to customers in all 50 states, an achievement that Aimee is very proud of accomplishing.
    Aimee graduated from the University of Southern California and worked in media relations in the motorcycle industry before becoming a full-time, stay-at-home mom. 22 years later, when her youngest went away to college, she and her husband decided not to make any big life changes for a year so they could adjust to a new norm. But 5 months later, Covid hit. And it was then that she started her journey to become a business owner and entrepreneur.
