In this complete episode of Invent America, host Rita Crompton ("America's Inventor Lady") sits down with solo inventor Larry Goldstein to unpack his remarkable product journey. After shifting from owning 30 hair salons to driving Uber in Atlanta, Larry rigged a DIY phone mount out of a Bed Bath & Beyond pizza wheel just to navigate busy city streets.

What started as a simple solution for non-airbag steering wheels led to patent grants with Georgia Tech’s legal clinic, a deal landed at the ASD Vegas trade show with Love's Truck Stops across 450+ locations, navigating COVID-19 retail shutdowns, overcoming iPhone vs. Android redesign challenges, overseas manufacturing, and expanding into golf carts, boats, and UTVs.

Key Topics Covered:

·       Turning everyday problems into patented consumer products.

·       How to leverage free university legal aid for patent searches.

·       Transitioning product designs when tech standards shift (Android to iPhone).

·       Leveraging Amazon as a hands-off fulfillment infrastructure.

·       Navigating tariffs and maintaining overseas manufacturing quality.
