Have you ever thought about inventing something? It could be a product, an app, or something else that people or businesses need. My guest today, Brian Fried, is an expert on inventing. He’s not only an inventor himself, but he helps others who bring him their invention ideas.

On this episode, Brian covers such topics as (1) where do you get ideas for inventions, (2) who are the people who come up with inventions, (3) how is inventing things different nowadays than in the past, and (4) the differences between being an inventor in the U.S. vs. some other parts of the world.

As you’ll also learn from Brian, there are all kinds of things that might be improved by inventions. And, those inventions not only create opportunities for the inventors, but for the many professionals who can help them with their inventions. He then provides numerous tips for what's necessary to succeed as an inventor, including various things inventors have to consider and take action on.

Now a bit about Brian: Brian Fried, known as "The Inventor Coach," is a highly accomplished innovator, author, and speaker, boasting 15 patents under his name. He has effectively licensed and manufactured his inventions, gaining recognition through QVC, infomercials, catalogs, and major retailers.
