The key to innovation is, in part, discovering a problem. You also have to be curious, believe that you can solve the issue, and find the right people or companies to help you create that product. This includes finding the right patent attorney.

This is what Peter Sprague learned when he got started with innovation. He came from an entrepreneurial background, and just like his grandfather, believed in his products and the solutions they could provide. One of his own innovations is Badger, a tech-enabled, smart device offering instant speech-to-text and real-time language translation for the hearing impaired.

In this episode of the Innovations and Breakthroughs Podcast, Rich Goldstein is joined by Peter Sprague, the Co-founder and Chairman of Satellite Displays, to talk about the key to innovation. Peter explains why innovators need to find good patent attorneys to work with, talks about his innovative device for the hearing impaired, and explains how he helped rescue Aston Martin from bankruptcy.
