Hi this is Scott Tarcy and welcome to the Engineering Entrepreneur Podcast

I’m a mechanical engineer and the president of CADdesignhelp.com. My company does CAD work and prototyping. I love designing and inventing products and creating businesses around that activity.

There are many podcasts out there about entrepreneurship and a few about inventing, but I have yet to find a podcast specifically about the engineering and technical side of entrepreneurship

Since I couldn’t find the exact podcast that interests me as a design engineer and entrepreneur, I decided to go out and create it myself

My strategy with this podcast is to interview engineers, designers and inventors who have created businesses around their inventions and products

I specifically want to focus on the engineering and design side of their products and inventions

    The Bold Patent Guy- JD Houvener– Ep 134

    J.D. Houvener is the founder of Bold Patents, a law firm for startups and inventors to get their patents.
    He also has his own podcast, The Bold Patents Show, which is in its second season.
     
    He has a background working for Boeing as an engineer before starting his law firm.
    We talked about how important it is to write your provisional patent the right way, which is talking about the novel aspects of your invention.
    We talked about an example of how JD’s company helped an inventor with a fish lure product.
    Don’t be afraid of infringement on your patent. If people are trying to copy you then you have a great product.
     
    Number one tip:
    Make sure to get an experienced patent lawyer on your side from the beginning of your invention process.

Best engineering podcast out there

Scott’s show hits on many different topics and guests. Every episode is full of actionable items for engineers and entrepreneurs

thatengineeringguy14 ,

Great intersection of engineering and entrepreneurship!

Scott does a great job in bringing great guests to talk about their engineering and technical aspects of entrepreneurship. The episodes are engaging and full of actionable insights!

AndrewDarlow ,

A wealth of knowledge for inventors and other entrepreneurs

This podcast is a gold mine, with tips, tricks and information about 3D printing, Intellectual Property, selling on sites like Etsy, Ebay and Amazon.com, and much more.

I particularly like when Scott Tarcy (the host) reviews previous or current projects on which he is working. His 2019 Top 5 Projects show (episode 76) is a perfect example. If you have a 3D printer or plan to have something made on one, I would especially recommend this podcast.
