I was an esthetician working in a tiny little spa, barely making more than minimum wage. At the same time, I was a single mother raising a 12-year-old son on my own, constantly battling to provide for him. I had worked hard his entire life, determined that he would never experience the poverty and struggles that defined my childhood. But it was rough. There were days when I didn't know where our next meal would come from. The phone was constantly being shut off, forcing me to give friends new numbers and lie about the changes. There were cold showers because the power was out, and nights spent bundled in layers because the heat had been cut off. I remembered feeling the same desperation as a child, when my dad couldn't afford to give me the things my friends had, and how it broke his heart to say "no." https://www.harmonywoodington.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/harmonyannew/ ---------------------------------- When It Worked Podcast https://getoffthedamnphone.com/podcast

Our conversation with attorney Richard Gearhart continues and moves from trademarks to an introduction to the software patent process. I find this is often an intimidating concept for us as developers. We know the value of a patent, yet we feel the process is too complicated or difficult. An Overview Of The Patent Process The whole process of deciding to apply for a patent and what is even possible is often a mystery. Richard helps us get a better idea of what it will look like should we take this path. He also gives us good reason for doing so in some cases. His story-telling approach keeps this educational episode entertaining as well as highly informative.

We start a new conversation with attorney Richard Gearhart about copyright and trademarks and how we need to be aware of them. This is an area of software development I often hear discussed but without any good answers. Our discussion provides the legal answers we look for. Software Copyright And Trademarks Are Important We all bump up against legal issues at times including copyright and trademarks. Therefore, we need to have a good foundation of knowledge. Otherwise, we can spend a lot of time and money on a solution that is not legally viable. Richard provides an excellent overview of this area of software products and services to give us that foundation.

961 Victoria's dream was to study literature or art in college, but her parents urged her to consider business instead. After making so many sacrifices for their children—giving up a comfortable life in South Korea and starting over—they wanted to be sure that their children would end up with secure jobs. She worked full time while completing a BS degree in Economics from UCLA and an MBA from USC. After graduate school, she was offered several jobs in New York but took a marketing job at a jewelry manufacturing company in Los Angeles to stay closer to her family. Much to her surprise, she ended up using her artistic talents a lot more than she ever imagined. Believing that there was a market for high quality, stylish jewelry at affordable prices, she formed her own company in 1989 on a shoestring budget. Over the next three decades, her jewelry career allowed her to travel to many places she'd only read about ever since she was a young girl. Victoria's jewelry designs are inspired by her extensive travels, soaking in history, cultures, and architecture. Today, she is a successful jewelry designer with her own TV show on Shop HQ, connecting with millions of viewers regularly. ________ Want your customers to talk about you to their friends and family?
