Notes from Chris
Episode 1636
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Recently, we’ve featured a tea blend that uses adult language, the designer who makes clothing for dachshunds and their humans, neurogum, and a UK blogger who lives in a van. Last week, we heard from a maker in Chicago, Illinois who sells faith-based jewelry, especially rosary beads. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from the co-founder of a company that makes Step n’ Pull, a device that allows public restroom users to open the door with their foot. Their business increased 70x at the start of the global pandemic. What’s happened since? Listen to today's episode to hear Mike's updates...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
- Three Friends Step Up And Pull In Restroom Revenue: When three co-workers notice their colleagues using paper towels to open restroom doors, they invent a simple solution that’s a step above the rest.
- Marine Goes “Under Cover” To Create Eyewear Protector: When a U.S. Marine scratches his sunglasses after placing them in his pocket, he solves the problem with a 3D printed solution.
