Creating thoughts, ideas and possibilities is the very essence of an inventor. However, turning those ideas into tangible reality is what separates the doers from the dreamers. Helping inventors from all over the world do just that, Tim invites 3X patented toy inventor, Women in Toys Wonder Woman Finalist and one of the 100 most influential women in Toys and Games for 2020Azhelle Wade. Azhelle shares with us her journey and the lessons she learned along the way that can help you bring your toy idea to life. She discusses what it is like to work for somebody versus being an entrepreneur and working for yourself and why it is important to pitch a vision and not just another product and how. As the Founder and President of The Toy Coach™, Azhelle then shares some great materials that can help toy inventors out there have their products realized while giving us her insights into where she thinks the future is heading for those in the toy industry.
