Patemm founder Grace Welch
Friday, February 2nd, 2007
My guest today is Grace Welch, the founder of patemm. She is also featured on today’s episode?Ǭ†of?Ǭ†the Oprah Winfrey Show, titled “Mom?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s who Made Millions,” along with Paula Deen and Amsale. Her invention was simple — a round diaper changing pad as opposed to a rectangular one. It?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s hard to believe it hadn?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t been thought of before. So, let that be a lesson to us all. When we think of a better way to do something, research it and go for it! That is exactly what Grace did. Within?Ǭ†five months of having the idea, she patented it, launched the website, had a thriving business and was meeting with editors of national magazines about her new product. She is a master at public relations. Courteney Cox-Arquette, Gwyneth Paltrow, Brooke Shields and Heidi Klum are just a few of the A-list Celebrity Moms who love her product. And in addition to being on the Oprah Show, she has been featured on The View, as well as in the?Ǭ†Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle,?Ǭ†the Boston Globe,?Ǭ†People Magazine, Real Simple, and dozens of other magazines. Tune in to hear how she did it.?Ǭ†
