Ask the Inventor Coach: Live Q&A with Brian Fried
Tonight, Thursday, October 29
7–8pm ET | 6–7pm CT | 4–5pm PT
Live on Google Meet • Premium Insider members only
Have a question about your invention that you wish you could ask Brian directly?
Maybe you’re deciding whether to license or manufacture. Maybe you’re preparing a pitch, working on a prototype, or trying to figure out where to put your time and money next.
Tonight is your opportunity to bring that question to Brian Fried, The Inventor Coach®, and get guidance specific to what you’re working on.
This is an open Q&A in a small-group setting, with time for conversation, follow-up questions, and practical feedback to help you move forward.
Bring the question that’s holding you back.
You don’t need a finished product or a polished presentation. Come with something you’d like help thinking through, such as:
Your next step: What should you focus on at this stage?
Licensing or manufacturing: Which direction makes sense for your goals?
Your pitch: How can you explain your invention more clearly?
Getting unstuck: What can you do about a challenge slowing your progress?
You’ll also learn from other members’ questions. Someone else may ask about a challenge you haven’t encountered yet, or one you’re facing yourself.
This event is exclusively for paid Premium Insider subscribers of the Inventor Smart Community app. You’ll need an active Premium Insider membership to attend.
$9.99 per month or $99 per year
Membership includes monthly live Q&A access to Brian, plus member discounts and access to additional Premium Insider events from Inventor Smart and National Inventor Club.
A private one-on-one session with Brian normally costs $200. These Q&As offer direct interaction and personalized feedback in a shared, small-group setting for a fraction of that price.
Even one useful conversation can help you make better decisions about where to spend your time, effort, and money. And with monthly Q&As, you can keep bringing questions as your invention progresses.
