#4: Dylan Tellam - From Ab Amigo to AbMat, "Collaboration not Competition," American Manufacturing, the Future of the Industry, and What to Do if you have a Good Idea
Dylan is currently a Co-Owner and a product developer with AbMat, which has evolved into a "platform for single product inventors over the past few years. It's much more than just the "AbMat" now, and a whole lot of the credit goes to Dylan. This chat is an overview of how he got to where he is today, what AbMat is doing and includes several other miscellaneous questions.
