    For this week’s segment of Invent America, Michael King and co-host Rita Crompton welcome Leo Mazur to discuss “Inventor Groups”. Inventor of the Nonmetallic Raintight Hub, Mazur has worked in the electrical contracting business for over 40 years in a wide range of capacities. For more information, please visit: http://www.inventors-society.net. Having worked in and around the electrical contracting business for over 40 years has given Mr. Mazur a unique insiders’ view of many different manufacturing, commercial, and corporate experiences as well as interaction with consumers from all walks of life. This allows him to view a project from all sides. A lifelong Do-It-Yourselfer, he makes his own prototypes, does his own research, and has written and prosecuted his own patent overcoming a difficult rejection. However, he strongly believes in building a team of experts as a project warrants it. He has invented a number of products, mostly tools, and of course, kitchen utensils. He has a patent on a PVC electrical fitting and had the 2 largest manufacturers interested.

    Rita Crompton, known as “The Inventor Lady,” is an industry expert with decades of experience helping innovators develop their ideas into sellable products. Her knowledge and expertise covers all aspects of the invention process – patents and trademarks, engineering and manufacturing, crowdfunding, marketing and selling, and licensing. Ms. Crompton has helped inventors bring to market everything from full size functioning tractors to baby products – there’s a reason she’s called “The Inventor Lady.”

    Michael King, known as “the Cajun Contractor,” has been in the home improvement and home construction industry for nearly three decades, first by working for a home improvement company and then becoming a fully licensed general contractor owning and managing his own home improvement company.

Stephen P Souders is the inventor of “The Cut N Go”, a safety tool that is the only emergency seat belt cutter that is locked on, self-enclosed, manually-guided, and child proof. For more information, please visit: http://www.thecutngo.com. Stephen P Souders: “[…] I graduated with a D average which I always believed stood for dreamer. I have always thought of ideas but this one is the only one that I believe was given to me by God. I was watching TV one morning thinking I was going to have to close my current business when I saw a clip of a policeman walking through the water to save this elderly couple and it hit. I went to my dining room table and drew up the design and logo. This was the first time I ever thought of a logo for one of my ideas. I then went to my computer looked up seatbelt cutters and saw they all looked like glorified envelope cutters. Then I literally stood in my living and said alright God if this is going to work I need some miracles and the very next day they started happening. Here we are over five years later and now it’s fantastic and we even now have a first responder’s safety pack and rewards program for them.”
