Bold Inventor Show w/Interview with Inventor Dr. Aaron Dossey of All Things Bugs

We had a few questions that came in over the week, one patent and one trademark were answered on air. We did have another attorney on the live chat as well - who helped us out too. We then spent a bit over 10 mins with Dr. Aaron Dossey of All Things Bugs! He helped us appreciate (if you're not grossed out) the potential of using bug protein as a healthy alternative to milk/lactose or beef protein sources. He talks about some of the proprietary processing equipment he has come up with in order to get his instect powder to the final soluability level. We wrap things up with a buggy shark tank pitch from 10+ years ago - a blast from the past, but still solid IP breakdown from Matt and J.D. as always. Support the Show.
