Welcome back to season two. This season Jack Courage will walk through all aspects of inventing three of his products that he hopes will make it in the open market for sale. Episode One is about the first product-how he got the idea, what he did with the idea and where was he going to take it to see if it worked.

So now your product is out there. Did you do it the right way? Did you leave any customers out? Did you overlook anything? Jack talks about what he almost left out and how it changed who he would sell the product to as marketing moved forward. Contact: info@30yearovernightsensation.com

Why didn't you bring up patents earlier? That is because they are a necessary evil, and along with patents comes lawyers and a higher cost to your product.

Manufacturing is never easy and trying to get your prototype made is even harder. The dangerous time is always between the prototype stage and selling it to the public.
