Our meetings, whether in-person or online, are free and open to the public. Membership ($35 annually) gets special perks and benefits, and supports our mission.

Our October 2021 meeting will feature a husband/wife invention duo who have a remarkable passion for inventing.

Dennis and Mary Lou Green are coauthors of the #1 Amazon Best Seller, Shark Pitch: How to Make a Retail Shark Sit Up and Beg to Buy Your Product. In another edition it's called How to Sell Anything in Three Easy Steps--Even if You Hate Selling.

Shark Pitch reveals their simple Three-Step Pitch showing how they invented and marketed more than 50 of their simple inventions generating over $120 million in retail sales and growing.

A few of their customers have included: Walmart, Target, QVC, Kmart, JC Penney, 7-11, Footlocker, Home Depot, Walgreens, Bed Bath & Beyond, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Pep Boys, Auto Zone, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Safeway, Hy-Vee HEB, Kroger and Whole Foods plus mail-order catalogs, Amazon, e-commerce sellers and thousands of independent retailers in the USA and 24 countries.

They have earned 15 patents, dozens of trademarks, and hundreds of copyrights. They created their first product in 1976. Their longest-running product is Sneaker Balls, air fresheners for sports shoes, gym bags, and lockers, on the market since 1988. They have created such diverse products as greeting cards, novelty products, sports bottles, air fresheners for home and auto, air filters and games, and toys. They’ve also licensed many of their products and ideas.

Dennis and Mary Lou have been married and worked together for 41 years. In 2016 they founded Big Idea School.com https://BigIdeaSchool.com to deliver online training courses for entrepreneurs and inventors to help them create and market simple consumer products. Their latest product is called Throne Daddy, the Lumbar Cushion that Makes Your Toilet Feel Like a Comfy Chair---now being tested on Amazon.

Our November meeting will be the second Tuesday at 6:00 to be part of Global Entrepreneurship Week in Kansas City. It will be online as well, using the same ZOOM link featured above.
