How about Shawn from episode 36? A independent bathroom remodeling contractor who was fed up with dirty caulk and paint stains on his pants and went from idea to 10,000 units in his warehouse within a matter of months ! (Thats about 1/5 the time it took me!)
And finally, Elena of episode 37. A young inventor who knew she had an ace up her sleeve with the Cozy Clip. Elena set her sights on giving people a safer and more comfortable hair clip and has been crushing the marketing and manufacturing process!

In this episode of the Invent With Me Podcast, Grant Martin breaks down one of the most common experiences inventors face: doubt from friends, family, and even themselves. From early mornings building prototypes in a garage to questioning whether the journey will ever scale into a real business, this episode explores the psychological and practical realities of bringing a product idea to life.
Grant shares the raw story of building TorkStrap from crude homemade tools and producing just 20 units per day, while trying to imagine how that tiny operation could ever grow into a real company. Along the way, he explains why almost every inventor reaches a moment where the journey feels irrational — and why pushing through that phase is often the turning point.
You’ll learn:
• Why friends and family often doubt invention ideas
• How early prototypes and garage manufacturing actually help refine a product
• Why your first manufacturing process will never be the final one
• The hidden reality of the hours, sacrifice, and “crazy” work ethic behind successful inventors
• How to stay focused when others suggest playing it safe
Most people build their lives around stability. Inventors build their lives around question marks — and that’s exactly what makes innovation possible.
If you're working on a new product, building a prototype, or trying to turn your invention into a real business, this episode will remind you that the struggle you're feeling is not a sign of failure — it's a normal part of the invention process.
And sometimes the difference between quitting and succeeding is simply refusing to believe you're the crazy one.
