My name is Robert Bear and I am the owner of InventionStories.com and the Invention Stories Podcast.

In 2007, I invented eyewear with removable arms. I built my prototype and gave it to a local company to improve on, which they did. I performed a preliminary background check and discovered there were four other patented products, two of which were better than mine. Curiously, I couldn’t find them on the market. I began researching the invention process and learned the success rate for inventions was less than 5%. Why had so many had failed?

I searched the internet for help and found companies that would charge to help me without guaranteeing results. I believe this is wrong and that inventors deserve as much help as possible…for FREE! I also believe that inventors have a lot that they can learn from each other.

We created InventionStories.com to share the journey an inventor goes on from time idea comes to them. We began by sharing the stories that inventors have written (with permission). When we could no longer find pre-written stories, we emailed inventors and asked them to write and send their stories to us. In 2014, we began interviewing inventors and writing their stories based on these interviews. All three of these methods provided free exposure to the inventor while also offering insights into the invention process to our readers.

We’ve posted over 300 stories since 2011. What we’ve learned from this process is that too much of the invention story is lost when we try to turn the invention story told to us into a written story.

So beginning September 1, 2017, we changed our format and the Invention Stories Podcast was born! Now our listeners can hear each inventor’s story firsthand . InventionStories.com is where you can find show notes, sponsored links, and the occasional invention story written by inventors. We also update previously shared invention stories on Flashback Fridays.

If you invent products or have a start-up that's ready for retail, the Get Retail Ready podcast is THE place to hear stories and gain knowledge with the Get Retail Ready guy Jim DeBetta!   Jim is a renowned retail selling expert having sold over 100 million dollars worth of products to the world's leading retailers!  Knowing the ins and outs of preparing to and selling to major retailers takes knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm.   Join us each week to get the inside scoop on how to make YOUR invention a success!

Christina Daves

It all started in 2010 when I broke my foot the day before I was going to New York City, Fashion Capital of the World. The doctor put me in one of those big, black, awful medical boots. I searched for anything to make it fashionable. The experience motivated me to design fashion accessories to make them look better. This resulted in the immensely popular CastMedic Designs which won Steve Harvey's Top Inventor honors on his Emmy® Award winning show and have been worn by celebrities including Diana Ross.
