ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
How do you turn an idea into a successful product? In this episode of inventRightTV, co-founder Stephen Key sits down with inventor and entrepreneur Dimitry Boss to discuss his inventive journey and the launch of his clever new product — Genie Cone, a customizable and patent-protected hair accessory that’s already turning heads. Dmitri opens up about his creative process, how he was inspired by his late father’s product from the 1980s, and how he modernized it with interchangeable, customizable covers — including a show-stopping LED version.
