The Launch Network

For someone who’s been on the road for more than 150 dates a year for the past 15 years, Chris Trapper appears to have taken his unsolicited break from touring pretty well. In between weekly livestreams on Facebook & Instagram, Trapper also performed in his fan's backyards across the country all summer long during his “Socially Distanced Backyardapalooza”. To top it all off, Chris entered a studio near his home in Boston, MA to record his new album “Cold Water Waltz”.

“Recording an album in normal times is an interesting experience, so imagine creating new music during a global pandemic. Although I worked intensely with the producers (Brad Young and Jason Meeker) in their respective studios, I could rest assured because as most musicians know; audio engineers social distanced before it was trending.”

The album is a mostly stripped-down affair, with the focus squarely on Trapper’s achingly honest lyrics, honeyed tenor and delicate fingerpicking. The record features Boston legends Duke Levine (Aimee Man, Peter Wolf) & Jim Prescott (G Love & Special Sauce) as well as Matt Beck (Matchbox Twenty, Rod Stewart) & even a co-write with Rob Thomas.

“I wrote most of these songs when I was opening for Rob over the summer of 2019. There were lots of days off then and admittedly, it was easy to get inspired to write new songs after witnessing so many thousands of people psyched to hear his songs every night. Rob & I wrote the song “Clear” together and he is truly the coolest guy to co-write with as he is all about the creative process and never about the ego.”

“Cold Water Waltz” was released on October 16th, 2020 and is available at christrapper.com and on all

Matt Nuccio started at Design Edge aged 14, as soon as his parents – Mark and Linda – launched the company (or as he puts it “whether I agreed to it or not, I was an employee from day one”). Since then, he has seen the firm grow to be a sizable force, boasting a 5,000 square foot facility complete with its own photography studio, computer lab, model making shop and a recording studio.

We caught up with Nuccio to find out more about life at Design Edge, as well as about his work fighting for inventor rights and lobbying for patent reform in Washington as part of the board of directors for the United Inventors Association of America (UIA).

America’s Big Deal” is here... the groundbreaking competition series that invites inventors across the nation to sell their products LIVE on-air!
If you have a great product and are ready to sell to America, submit it now at www.joymangano.com for this incredible opportunity!

Most inventors want the same thing – to make money from their idea. You have a great idea that others can benefit from. You see successful inventions everyday when you go shopping and retail stores are filled with products that someone created. Why can’t you be that person that enjoys great success?

Most inventors face the same basic problem – they lack the knowledge of the proper steps to inventing. They often skip critical steps in an attempt to get their product on the market which results in it being improperly developed and just plain unsellable.  They are also not financially prepared for the long road ahead. To enjoy success in this high risk business, you must understand the process and execute with precision.

Are you an invention entrepreneur who needs expert guidance to make your idea a reality? Are you nearly ready to sell to retailers or license your product? Do you need assistance with learning everything from how to find a factory to manufacture your product to how to sell to major retailers? If you are you unsure of what to do next and are afraid to spend your hard earned money incorrectly, then Jim’s Coaching & Consulting Programs are exactly what you need to help get your invention off the ground and on a path to success.
