Rita and Michael discuss prototyping with each other and with their special guests, Jeff Kutas, founder of MB Sentinel (mbsentinel.com), Brandon Kollar, founder and chief product developer at Edge Independent Product Developers LLC, and Ray Burrasca, Managing Partner at the Law Offices of R.P. Burrasca (RPBLawOffices.com).MB Sentinel is a Stephenville, Texas-based company that manufactures and sells the MB Sentinel Box Gobbler, a secure, lockable mailbox designed to protect packages from theft and vandalism.
