🌟 Community Spotlight: Judi Moldstad — Inventor, Fiber Artist & Problem Solver
This week, we’re excited to spotlight Judi Moldstad, a creative fiber artist, inventor, and passionate problem-solver behind The Reshaper — a patented innovation designed to help women feel more comfortable and confident.
Judi blends craftsmanship with clever design, using her artistic background to identify real problems and create meaningful solutions. Her current mission: license or sell her patent to a major bra company and bring her invention to the women who need it.
Beyond her invention work, Judi is a mother of three, grandmother of four, and a shining example that innovation has no age limit. She’s here to show her family — and our whole community — that you can pursue your ideas at any stage of life.
Age and location are not barriers when you’re passionate about what you’re doing.

💡 Inventor Tip of the Week — Capture the Idea Before It Disappears
Great ideas don’t arrive when it’s convenient. Brian teaches that the first job of an inventor is simple: don’t lose it.
Wherever you are, you need to get it out of your head… text it, email it, write it down before it disappears.”
🎯 Action Step:
Start an “Idea Log” in your phone today. The next time inspiration hits, capture it immediately — no filters, no second-guessing.
🎥 Event Replay — What Happens After You Have the Idea

What licensees really look for
How licensing deals work
Manufacturing partnerships that last
