Episode 99…Invention Advice Part 3
In Episode 99 we feature the advice shared by the guest of the Invention Stories Podcast. Since we began the Invention Stories Podcast we’ve either finished the interviews by asking “What advice would you give…or what is your invention advice?”
Coming Soon
The Invention Stories Podcast was created with one goal in mind…To Help People Invent Smarter. So if you are an inventor, have an idea for an invention, or new to the podcast, we invite you to listen to Episode 99…Invention Advice Part 3 coming soon on Invention Stories on YouTube. In addition to their answers, I share some of what I remember most about the interviews.
This episode is the third and final part in a three-part series and features advice from inventors working backwards from episodes 60 – 50. In episode 49…What Advice would you give an Inventor, we shared invention advice from episode 48-1. Click here to learn more.
Episode 60…Tara Roskell…The Idea Medic and more…
When we first started working on InventionStories.com and looking to share invention stories, I came across Ideas Uploaded (www.ideasuploaded.com) and was impressed. Tara Roskell had been sharing posts and podcasts that were similar to ours and while some would find her to be a competitor to be treated as such, we didn’t. We believe in promoting websites and podcasts that help people invent smarter and Ideas Uploaded is a helpful tool for inventors.
