The Engineering Entrepreneur Podcast

Scott Tarcy

Hi this is Scott Tarcy and welcome to the Engineering Entrepreneur Podcast I’m a mechanical engineer and the president of CADdesignhelp.com. My company does CAD work and prototyping. I love designing and inventing products and creating businesses around that activity. There are many podcasts out there about entrepreneurship and a few about inventing, but I have yet to find a podcast specifically about the engineering and technical side of entrepreneurship Since I couldn’t find the exact podcast that interests me as a design engineer and entrepreneur, I decided to go out and create it myself My strategy with this podcast is to interview engineers, designers and inventors who have created businesses around their inventions and products I specifically want to focus on the engineering and design side of their products and inventions

The Engineering Entrepreneur Podcast - The Million Dollar Collar Invention – Rob Kessler – Ep51

The Million Dollar Collar Invention – Rob Kessler – Ep51

Five years ago (2013) Rob was getting married in Jamaica. Everything went well except when Rob saw his wedding photos, he was shocked. His shirt collar was a sloppy, droopy mess. He does not like wearing ties, so he started looking for another solution.

He searched online but every existing product was a collar stay and that just didn’t work. He set out to make his own solution. His first prototype was made from a cardboard box.

He spent years developing the design, especially the material. One major challenge was he needed to find a plastic that could withstand dry cleaning machine temperatures (up to 700F).

We discuss his journey. He had a failed Kickstarter, he tried different marketing methods, and we talk about the patent process for him. If you are an inventor, this is an invaluable episode for you to check out, as Rob went through EVERYTHING to get his product to market.

Brian Kobus is the southeast Business Development Manager for Universal Robots based out of Charlotte, NC.

I personally met Brian during a demonstration he was running with a robot. He showed us a simple pick and place example of the robot moving a block from one area to another

The UR robot is easy to program. No code is needed.

When it comes to repetitive tasks, getting a robot can pay for itself very quickly. In addition to labor savings, robots do not need bathroom breaks, time off and do not make mistakes.

Number one tip

Don’t be intimidated by robotics, once you learn it the next project will be a lot easier

The Engineering Entrepreneur Podcast - Machine Learning to Diagnose Health of Distributed Systems – Ava Naeini – Ep 122
play

10/16/22 • 24 min

Ava Naeini is the Founder and Data Architect of Pulse Operations, which is an intelligent engine that uses machine learning and statistical processing with various heuristics to determine the healthiness and performance of distributed systems.

Many software engineers must constantly manually monitor their systems to see if there is a pattern developing that could lead to issues. Ava’s tool allows engineers to work on bigger issues while the system is monitored automatically.

We talk about all the challenges with starting a company after creating the product, including the challenges of getting a patent.

Number one tip: Creating a company was a challenge, for example setting up the platform, Corporation and LLC. Some tools she suggests: Gust – used to create a company. Patent process – have a lawyer. Legal zoom - Cost was very reasonable.

Exponential Theory – Aaron Bare – Ep 132

Aaron Bare is a bestselling author and speaker on the topic of exponential theory.

He helps businesses grow at an exponential rate instead of a linear rate.

Large companies tend to think that 10% annual growth is good.

We talked in depth about Artificial Intelligence.

How to Patent an Invention – Alex Hobson – Ep70

Alex Hobson is founder and president of Invention To Patent Services. He is also an inventor being listed on more than 20 U.S. patents. He has more than 20 years of experience.

I’ve had other patent agents on the show before, but Alex is a little different. Alex was first a mechanical engineer and actually worked at a same company that I worked at before (WLGore.com, the Goretex company).

He started writing his own patents while at Gore and learned enough to change careers and go on his own writing patents.

We cover all topics of patents including allowance rate, priority date, difference between a patent agent and patent attorney, provisional patents, and more. If you are new or even experienced inventor, this is the show for you.
