From Idea to Product – Quickly – Regan Espinosa

In addition to being a home health care occupational therapist and mother of three, Regan Espinosa has written and self-published seven books ranging from a Walking Dead-themed devotional book and books for children who stutter. After her father died last year, she added inventor to her list of accomplishments. An experience of having mementos left at his gravesite being blown by the wind into the cornfields next to the cemetery germinated into the idea for a container that can be placed at the gravesite within which small tributes, cards, letters, and pictures can be stored over time without being exposed to the elements or disturbed by cemetery maintenance. In this episode, Regan tells the story of The Visit Box from conception to having a prototype to attending a trade show to taking her first round of orders – all in less than a year.
