40 | 038 | Product | Scrub Daddy | Mr. | Aaron | Krause | The biography of both Alexander Hamilton and Benjamin Franklin. These two great American forefathers each have had a big impact on me. Hamilton who many did not know well until the popularity of the Broadway musical is responsible for our current banking system, the stock market, and the US treasury. He basically crafted the world of business that I navigate daily as a business owner. Benjamin Franklin is revered by myself and many others as one of the most prolific inventors of his time and many of his inventions are still in use today such as bifocals. I gain a lot of inspiration reading about him especially since he shares my hometown of Philadelphia as his birthplace and final resting place. As I have very limited time and very rarely sit down with a book, I read both of these biographies by listening to them on my commute to work daily on audio. | While searching Amazon for a new type of cat litter I stumbled across a fully automatic cat toilet that even flushes!

We plan to purchase another such machine “tool” in 2018. | We are so busy just keeping up with current demand and growing demand for our new products launched in 2017 including the Scour Daddy and the Scrub Daisy that we are just out of time to devote to new product development and implementation. It’s a good problem to have but frustrating at the same time. Sometimes you grow too quickly to sustain new growth. We hope to normalize in 2018 and perhaps add some more staff to relieve the bottlenecks and get a few new items such as our exciting Soap Daisy product launched in 2018. | 038 | Scrub Daddy Inventor talks Car Washes, Shark Tank, Product Pricing, & ...
