In this episode of **Tech Diva Biz Talks**, Audrey “Tech Diva” Wiggins sits down with Bob Labbe, engineer, inventor, author, and lifelong problem-solver. After decades in air pollution control engineering, Bob turned an everyday frustration into a real product: The Ultimate Coaster, a drip-free coaster designed to solve the problem traditional coasters don’t.
Bob shares how he moved from corporate engineering to entrepreneurship, what it takes to bring a physical product to market, and why persistence matters when you’re building something new. We also talk about his golf putting system, Putting by the Numbers, and how solving one problem can lead to unexpected opportunities.
In this episode:
* How a silk tie disaster sparked a product idea
* Why most drink coasters don’t actually solve the problem
* What entrepreneurs should know about product development
* Pricing, manufacturing, and bringing a product to market
* Why Bob says problem-solving has been his life’s work
