#94: Inventing a Product and Preparing for Launch

This week, we start our "How we built this," series that we've been researching and gathering data on for the last YEAR! That's right! This episode series we've been putting a ton of hours into because we truly believe anyone can take an idea and make it become a reality. We wanted to show you that it's possible, and with a lot of planning, you can do it too. We had to choose an invention and really dig into making it work for running a business. If you've had an idea that you've wanted to create, hopefully you feel inspired in this series to get it up and out there! (And also definitely tell us if you did because we would LOVE to see what you created!)
