Topic: What/Who is an Inventor? | Featuring: Derry Griffin & Ian Osborn

For this week's segment of Invent America, "What/Who is an Inventor?" Michael King and Rita Crompton welcome Derry Griffin to discuss how his 25yrs as a contractor led to creating effective methods that alleviate basic frustrations all contractors experience; and Ian Osborn, CEO and Owner of Wild Ideas Light Company. Rita Crompton, known as "The Inventor Lady," is an industry expert with decades of experience helping innovators develop their ideas into sellable products. Her knowledge and expertise covers all aspects of the invention process - patents and trademarks, engineering and manufacturing, crowdfunding, marketing and selling, and licensing. Ms. Crompton has helped inventors bring to market everything from full size functioning tractors to baby products - there's a reason she's called "The Inventor Lady." Michael King, known as “the Cajun Contractor,” has been in the home improvement and home construction industry for nearly three decades, first by working for a home improvement company and then becoming a fully licensed general contractor owning and managing his own home improvement company. For more than a decade, however, his knowledge and expertise as a general contractor have been put to use by hosting the nationally syndicated television and radio program HomeTalkUSA. Listen to "Invent America" every week on HomeTalkUSA, which airs on Genesis Communications Network ("GCN") Saturdays from 3pm to 6pm CT, and stream and download radio broadcasts and TV episodes at http://hometalk.info.
