S5-Ep30: How We Make Stuff Now: Turn Ideas into Products

Guest: Jules Pieri

All kinds of people come up with ideas for new products, but most have no idea how to move beyond the “what a great idea!” phase. These are individuals Jules Pieri wanted to empower when she cofounded her company The Grommet, an online product launch platform that discovers, supports, and sells innovative products made by ordinary Makers, inventors, and small businesses. Jules joins the program to discuss the Maker Movement, how women are involved in the movement and how listeners can begin to be involved. She shares insight from her recent release HOW WE MAKE STUFF NOW: Turn Ideas into Products That Build Successful Businesses. A book written to share with all readers the advice and inspiration she has given to the thousands of partner entrepreneurs that The Grommet supports, so that anyone of any background can turn their idea into a product they can sell—and eventually, into a thriving business. Tacy Trump as the Executive Producer.
