bit about your journey and how yougot there. And one more thing,

(01:08):
by the way today, it wason before in the very very beginning stages
of her when she started doing thissecret project that we're working god, which
we will reveal in about two monthsor less. So let's talk a little
bit. Everybody does not know whoyou are. They have not seen the
first podcast, so let's talk.Okay. So hey everyone, my name

(01:30):
is to Taya Murchison. So Iam one of fourteen siblings. I'm also
adopted, and I grew up ina household with seven other siblings, so
I come from a long line ofbig family. I am an army veteran.
I also have six children. Myspouse's active duty, and I am

(01:51):
excited to be here. I'm anentrepreneur, I'm a nurse. I'm also
in school getting my BSN. SoI'm a pretty busy woman. We are
and working on this incredible product,yes, ma'am. So let's talk a
little bit about an incredible incredible Youare such an inspiration young mom, entrepreneur,
business woman, all of these things. First of all, I don't

(02:15):
even know how you manage I meanthis, this could be a show on
just that. How you all ofthese incredible pieces that you're doing to your
life, your wonderful children, yourhusband, all of the activity, and
you're in school and everything else.But let's I want to stay on track
and we'll go back to that.Let's talk about your product idea and how

(02:36):
that vision started for you and weirdexpand. Okay, So at the age
of nineteen, I witnessed an injurythat happened to my niece, and thus
that's how my product was born.Okay, So having too much away since
we're not talking about how the productis born, Okay, so we will

(02:58):
say that it is a it's anexcess read that is necessary for most people
to have write or use. Thisis a tough one. This is tough,
and the audience is going, waita second. The listener is going,
wait a second, what could thispossibly be? Okay, all right,
so let's talk about this widget.So you had this idea at nineteen,
the injury happened, then you said, you know what, I need

(03:20):
to develop this product. So whatwere the next steps? What did you
do to get it started? Soover the years it kind of set dormant
in my mind. I at thetime, I was like, it's probably
already out there. I just assumed, ay, it's out there, so
I just let it go by.And then over the years, as I
got older and started having my ownchildren, I started seeing it in the

(03:42):
news of these injuries happening, andI'm like, man, why haven't they
figured this out yet? And that'swhen it really began that I'm going to
do this. I started doing myresearch. I started looking into and benching
companies, and those companies just didn'tsit well with me. I didn't feel
like it was way more paper worklegally, and it wasn't upfront and honest,
and that made me nervous, likeI just didn't want to sign away

(04:05):
my product. And next thing youknow, I see that someone else produced
it because I signed something thinking thatI was they were being honest and upfront.
That's very very smart. So that'salso intuition. So you see the
paperwork, you see what it says, and you're reading it clearly, reading
through and I always say, youknow, read the giant print, because

(04:28):
a lot of these companies are veryupfront. They'll tell you exactly what they're
going to do, but people arelistening to something else because they're so desperate
to get that thing, that projectout, that invention going, you know,
much like every other industry, whetherit's modeling or music, and I
use those because there's a tendency toget possibly ripped off of those industries.
Okay, so then you said,Okay, I'm not going to do this.

(04:50):
I'm not going to go with thesecompanies. Then what happened. I
actually, for a while, afew weeks, I actually prayed to God
to help me someone that or away to get my product out there,
but to find the right person.And that's when I ended up doing more
research. And I just so happenedto come across your podcast on YouTube and

(05:14):
I was like, no, like, this is just too good. You
know what somebody says it's too goodto be true, it probably is.
I was like, let me research. So from looking at your podcast on
YouTube, I went to your actualwebsite and I started researching and looking at
what everyone was leaving in the reviews. I started doing motivational Monday, and
I was like, Oh, yes, she's the one. She's the one.

(05:36):
Oh that's great, thank you andthank you. I'm the lucky one
because you're such a wonderful, brightand shining star person personality, and I
love working with people like yourself,because you're excited about what it is you're
doing and the only way you willsucceed is number one, having that passion,

(05:56):
that burning desire that you have toget it done. Doing your due
diligence important, and listening. Listening. You know it takes time to build
something that's great. You've gone througha couple of iterations of your product at
this juncture, and I love yourpatience because you know it's not a one
prototype deal, right. You geta proof of concept first, you get

(06:20):
a working kind of model of whatit is going to look like in production.
And you're very patient about that andyou understand that and you listen to
that, and that's really what Iappreciate about you and how you're and your
product. Oh my gosh, everybody, the product. It's very, very
hard, but it's incredible. It'sgoing to be a wonderful product. So

(06:41):
let's talk about your level of patience. And you know you're seeing the product
and seeing the mold. Let's talkabout how you feel, yes, ma'am.
So from day one, I've havingsix kids, I've prayed to God
for patience and through this of creatingmy products, this has been a journey

(07:03):
of true complete patience. And asyou send me videos and I'm getting to
understand just how much they're going throughto create what I'm asking, it definitely
gives me clarity and insight on justout how much work it entails. So
now that I'm able to put thoseconcepts together to know, hey, this

(07:24):
isn't just a hey, I fixit and I give it to you.
It is literally trial and error.And through those trials, they are producing
even better molds than I expected.They're giving me more ideas. So through
the trial and error, they're actuallymaking my product even better than what I
even envisioned it in the first place. So I've learned slow as smooth and

(07:46):
smooth as fast. That's a militarysaying we say, and it's so true.
I would much rather this product takeyears to come out, so I
give my customers exactly what I envisionedversus just pushing something out just so they
have it. So that's very importantto me because safety is a top priority
for this product. So this journeyof patience, it's definitely been well worth

(08:13):
it. I so appreciate you,and I want to ask you a question.
So when I talk, I saythe same thing every single time.
Proof of concept. First, giveme the product, let's work it through,
and let's see what that hell itcomes out. So the first iteration
I gave you was proof of concept. Do you know what that means?
Proof of concept? So just thatit's doable, like it's able to be

(08:35):
done and you see it, Yousaw it in your hand as a tangible
light and did it have to befixed and you know, reworked it did?
Absolutely, it has to be Imean it's never there's never one prototype.
Usually there's never one prototype. Youhave to go back and forth and
discuss and talk about modifications that needto be made to make it better.

(08:56):
It's not you know, you've neverthrown your hands up and said, you
know what this is taken to aI'm finished. And that's what I love.
You have the patience because you knowthis is a business and this is
something that you want to do foreverright moving forward this So I so appreciate
you, and I appreciate how muchtime and effort and it's not free or
cheap that time and effort and moneythat you've put into to make and create

(09:20):
a great, great product. SoI acknowledge you, and I appreciate everything
that you're doing, and I wantedto have you here just to talk about
that, to talk about you andtalk about how the evolution of this product
is happening because of you, becauseof your patience, your perseverance. You're
listening, you come to the classeswhen you can, you come to Motivational

(09:41):
Monday, and all of that isso important when you're building a product.
It's not one consultation and taking theinformation from that one consultation. It's being
involved. Yes, ma'am, todayI honor and appreciate you for being the
incredible student that you are, andthank you so much for being on the
