EP#38 - The realities of taking an invention to market: $600k product launches, factory disputes & working on the line xmas day.

Join us as we talk with Jim Rhodes, who along with Barney Mason, designed, crowdfunded and manufactured their product. We discuss the highs and the lows of running a hugely successful product launch and then the realities of getting the product manufactured. 

Jim reflects on the 3 year journey that him and co-founder Barney have been though, and how he's a completely different person from when the crowdfund originally launched. We learn that from the outside, it may seem like a business is booming, but when you look behind the curtain, it's often being driven by just a few very determined individuals. It's an inspiring, and maybe a little bit intimidating look at the realities of getting something manufactured. The adventure was a long and difficult one, but ultimately taught both the founders so much that they wouldn't change a thing, well maybe one thing... 

Thanks to Jim for coming on the show & hope you guys enjoy.
