Blake Wayman is a a U.S. Military Combat Veteran and the creator of Troop on a Stoop, a company that is bringing comfort to the children of servicemen and women overseas. Licensing expert Stephen Key interviews Blake about his journey as an inventor and entrepreneur.

More about Blake and Troop on a Stoop:

When Blake was deployed overseas in the Army, the care packages he received from his mother were beloved and well known.

“Rally on Wayman’s stoop!” friends called out when one arrived.

Later, in 2016, he befriended a young girl battling cancer whose parents were both in the service while managing medical equipment for the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

He wanted to do more for her, especially during Christmas. When he spied an Elf on the Shelf in a nursing station, a flash of inspiration struck. Would the children of military families be comforted by a storybook & plush character created especially for them?

Troop on the Stoop​ was born: https://troop-on-the-stoop.myshopify.com/

He sold out of his first production run almost immediately after growing a following on Facebook. Today every child admitted to the hospital he works at with a military family receives one.

He's overcome manufacturing struggles to develop a brand worth celebrating. Congratulations again Blake!

“I pitched major companies, including my distributor, because of the advice in your book and YouTube channel. If you have an idea that you believe in, read ‘One Simple Idea’ by Stephen M Key​.” — Blake W., creator of Troop on a Stoop

Josh Rifkin is an inventor who licensed his dog toy invention the Squeak and Throw Ball Launcher. In this interview with licensing expert Stephen Key, he describes his lengthy journey turning his product idea into a success story, including multiple licensing deals and a Kickstarter campaign. It's been worth the effort; the product is now in about a 1,000 stores! He also describes how he overcame prior art to obtain a utility patent for his Squeak and Throw Ball Launcher. Josh is a very creative guy. After visiting a lot of trade shows, he recognized a need in the market for trade show booth systems that require no tools and are packed flat — so he founded Flatworks Displays. Please note: Josh is not a student of the inventRight coaching program. He met Stephen through the inventors group in San Diego many years ago and kept in touch.
