52. Inventions and Making Life Easier with Korri Wright
Listen now
Description
Kimberly Grigg welcomes inventor Korri Wright to the show to talk about the products she invented to make life easier. Korri explains the genesis of both Blade Butler and Unlimiscent, how she brought her ideas from conception to market, and why she’s a fan of tasks made easy.   Kimberly digs into how Korri Wright came up with the idea for the Blade Butler - a unique invention that cleans ceiling fan blades without requiring a ladder or spreading dust onto the objects below - and Unlimiscent - a universal fragrance emitter. Korri admits she was simply frustrated with cleaning the fans in her own Atlanta home and searched for a product to make the job easier. When she didn’t find one, she created her own. With Unlimiscent, she took aim at solving the issue of too many different brand fragrance emitters and not being able to remember which one was at home when buying new scent inserts.    Kimberly and Korri share how both their families - Kimberly has six kids and Korri has four - inspire and encourage their creative and professional growth. Korri says her kids have been involved with the whole process of her inventions, in one way or another, and says she hopes they are inspired to follow their own paths in turn. Korri also details how asking questions is the key component in getting a product to market, while the biggest obstacle is cost. Learn how Blade Butler and Unlimiscent came to be and how they can make your own home more beautiful with ease. About Korri Wright:   Korri Wright is a CEO, inventor and busy mom of four. She needed a better, faster way to clean her dirty ceiling fans and hated the hassle of trying to remember what brand of fragrances she could buy to match the fragrance emitters she previously purchased. Together with her business partner, Karen Spencer, Korri realized there was a substantial market for both ideas. They worked together to develop an efficient ceiling fan cleaning product that’s easy to use and eco-friendly: the Blade Butler. Then they worked together to develop the efficient, hassle-free product universal fragrance emitter: Unlimiscent.
