Episode notes

How often did you have an idea, then months or a year later saw a product or service that resembled your idea and told yourself, “I wish I had done something with it”. As they say, ideas are a dime a dozen. Those who can take an idea from validation to a product or service into the marketplace are the movers and shakers who reap the rewards. This episode has some great stories and practical advice on how you can bring your idea to life.

In this episode, we are joined by Jennifer Cain. She has spent over 25 years in the healthcare industry holding several executive leadership positions at various pharmaceuticals, a diplomat for the World Health Organization and an improv comedian. She is also a TEDx speaker and now co-founder and CEO of VivatValet, an age tech startup that is committed to helping Olders live at home independently.
