All of these scientists, engineers, wild-eyed geniuses, and amateur technologists have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of that singular \u003cem\u003eEureka! \u003c\/em\u003emoment in their laboratories or garages. Each has altered the modern world as we know it in some significant way. \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe conversations will show budding tinkerers, professional inventors,  educators, and onlookers how the top minds in the field come up with ideas and manage the first steps of inspiration, how they experiment productively, how they “sell” ideas to others and secure funding, how they execute the final product, and how they commercialize and protect their work. All inventors will learn from these conversations, whether they are exploring new chemical compounds in million-dollar labs or perfecting a household gadget or toy in a basement workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n Author \u003cstrong\u003eBrett Stern\u003c\/strong\u003e, an inventor himself, explores with each inventor the nature of creativity and intuition, the skill set needed, and the force, motivation, or desire that must be summoned to spend endless hours searching for an answer to a question that no one else has asked or solving a problem most think has no solution.
