If you've ever wrestled with a so-called "blister pack" of medication, you know it's named that because getting into it can cause blisters on your fingers. There must be a simpler way, right? Join us as we chat with Nathan Lamaster, a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist and the creative mind behind a new device called the Pill Puncher. Nathan's invention, inspired by a challenge from a nurse, promises to ease the struggle of pill extraction from those irksome blister packs. He steps us through his inventive process, from the initial idea that came to him while working on a psychiatric ward to prototyping, patenting, and launching his product.Beyond the creative process, Nathan opens up about the setbacks he faced on his entrepreneurial journey, including a regrettable business deal that resulted in an FBI investigation. Despite the odds, Nathan rebounded with the help of local investors, and managed to manufacture and launch his product. The Pill Puncher is now available at local stores and online. He also gives us a glimpse of his business model, which includes white-labeling the product for other companies to sell under their brand names, and shares his vision for the future of the Pill Puncher. (Show notes are automatically generated and may contain phonetic spellings and other spelling and punctuation errors.
