Rich,
 
How about a topic on "ideas", that need to first,.. be designed, by someone. You`re "Big Idea" might need someone else to help your dream come true.  How do you go about finding that designer? Will they recommend a manufacturer?  You talked about finding the money you would need.  But, where do you start when you need someone to actually put your idea together? You won`t need the money, if it won`t work.
 
An example of ideas, that are never carried out.....
 
 I`ve had ideas before, and have never followed through, part of the "Where do I begin reason", held me back. I guess if it was something I  believed I could do, ..I would have. 
 
I know those, that have succeeded with their idea or invention, might not think this way.  But I think, many have been held back, because they do.
 
Tell us about the beginnings before the successes.  How,....did they proceed from the beginning of their idea.  Inspire us. 
 
 On a recent trip, I came up with what I think, is a brilliant idea.  But I know I would need to tell it to the right manufacturer or designer that could create it for me.  Because I don`t know how to make it!
 
I already did my Google search.:)

They touch on this subject quite often.
 
www.alibaba.com is your one stop place for every question you asked regrading manufacturing.  I found this site from the show last summer and although I was critical of it early in the game, it has become CRUCIAL to my business as it grows.

Sorry, guess I don`t watch the Big Idea  often enough!   I`m not often in the inventing mode either, but when I am........:) Thanks, for the site.  And good luck on being the next on the show!

Hey Rich, GREAT job!!  I just LOVE Kim!  How was she in person?  I`ve met some great people in the Green Room and I just know she`d be a RIOT.  Trent, they really do pull a lot of their guests from Dream Team videos and webcam segments.  You`re on the right track!  It`s the first step for us "normal folks" to get on the Donny radar!

Hey Leslie! Great to see you.
Rich- you did a great job. I would be interested in seeing some more info on distributing, licensing, marketing...

darn it, I always find out about these media appearances too late. Are they scheduled far enough in advance to include a note about it in the community bulletin?

Great job Leslie and thanks for posting your vids on youtube.  I studied them this weekend because my video for the Dream Team is going in the mail tomorrow (I`ve signed all release forms ;) 
 
I remember when your segments aired because I recognized your product from this site.
 
Although I`ve acquired some major backing for my product, it`s not as aggressive as I am and I`ve been operating by the seat of my pants.  This is the perfect opportunity to demonstrate my biz-ninja tactics.

Holdstalero,

Just watched your video on your home page, that is awesome!!  For your American Dream Team video, as you know I`m sure, you aren`t supposed to promote the product but do make sure that any marketing material you have, you include in with your video submission.
