Randy Landreneau: The Inventor Mar 02, 2023

Randy Landreneau is an inventor, an entrepreneur, and now an activist fighting to restore the rights of inventors. As the President of US Inventor, a non-profit organization, Randy represents inventors, writers, and entrepreneurs around the country to advocate for the US Congress to pass laws that will strengthen the US patent system. The main problem stems from The America Invents Act of 2011 that upended some of the revolutionary framework that made the US patent system an engine that sparked exponential growth in American innovation and ultimately propelled America to the leader of the free world. Randy’s battle may seem irrelevant to much of the population, but after hearing this episode you will realize how this battle impacts all Americans.

Frank Gaffney: The Clear and Present Danger Nov 01, 2022

Frank Gaffney has spent decades highly engaged in national security policy for the United States of America. He is the Executive Chairman and Founder of the Center for Security Policy and the former Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs in the Reagan administration. While the film Innovation Race only scratches the surface of the national security implications of the innovation race with China, this podcast aims to bring more detail on that front. While Gaffney did not appear in the film, he brings a valuable perspective on the threats America faces with China, specifically the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and how that clear and present danger is reminiscent of the Cold War with the former Soviet Union.

Congressman Thomas Massie: The Clucks Capacitor Oct 25, 2022

Congressman Thomas Massie joins Jenny Beth Martin to discuss his history as an inventor, from his days as a kid from Kentucky, to his time at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), to the limited time he gets to spend back home on his farm in rural Kentucky. Massie discusses his latest invention, the Clucks Capacitor, an automated chicken tractor that is self-sufficient and operable with a mobile app that he created. Massie is a leading voice in Congress for the everyday American inventor. He explains the need to reverse some of the devastating consequences of the America Invents Act of 2011 (AIA), including the need to get rid of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) and the need to restore the patent system to a 'first to invent' system rather than a 'first to file' system. His legislation, Restoring America's Leadership in Innovation Act of 2021 (RALIA), is his solution to the bad consequences of the AIA. Congressman Massie appeared in the film Innovation Race where he demonstrates his Clucks Capacitor from his farm in Kentucky and speaks about what needs to happen to protect American inventors. There is only so much that can be captured in a feature-length documentary, so in this episode Massie takes a deeper dive into the themes from the film. Massie is known for repurposing a battery from a totaled Tesla Model S to power his home - which you can find on YouTube - and for his snarky, fact-based social media posts accompanied with the hashtag #SassyWithMassie. In what is often dubbed the prequel to Innovation Race, the documentary Invalidated: The Shredding of the US Patent System, which also features Massie, was initially inspired by a conversation between Martin and Massie where Massie pointed out that the right to intellectual property was so important to the Founding Fathers that they protected it in Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution. It wasn't an afterthought. It wasn't in the Bill of Rights. It was in the base constitution. No matter your politics, Congressman Massie is a fascinating and affable intellectual. Enjoy this fascinating conversation.

Inventor Molly Metz: The Queen of Rope Oct 11, 2022

In today’s episode Jenny Beth Martin speaks with Molly Metz, who is known as the “Queen of the Rope”, as she holds 5-world championships and is the reigning National Champion in the sport of speed rope jumping. She has been involved in the sport for over 35 years, and is a competitor, coach, innovator, and is the only jump-roper to have held not one, but 2 patents for her jump rope technology. She has also ranked in the top 500 fittest women in CrossFit in her age category for many years.
