What if a simple label could revolutionize how you manage your health? Join us in this thought-provoking episode as we chat with Leanna Gant, an award-winning inventor recommended by Suzanne Fontaine, who turned her personal struggle with breast cancer into an ingenious solution for medication tracking. Leanna's journey takes us from her diverse roles as a creative director, art studio owner, and nonprofit manager, to the pivotal moment when she invented TukTuk. Listen as she shares the trials and triumphs of bringing her invention to life, the crucial lessons learned in packaging design, and the heartfelt feedback from her first users.
