Do you keep a list of your ideas - ALL of your ideas? Well, Rob Poleki does. Why? Because he knows that there's no crappy idea. Not everyone is brilliant, but some need time to simmer, just below the surface.
One of Rob's ideas came from an experience at an airport when his then four-year-old son, Tai, began to do the "potty dance". While cleaning the seat with soap and water, Rob thought "there has to be a better way - these things should clean themselves". He made a note of his thought.
Does a self-cleaning toilet seat sound like a crappy idea? Today, Poleki is the inventor of the Washie Toilet seat, a product certain to make public restrooms around the world more hygienic.
Rob's future is not exclusively in the toilet seat business, He continues to make note of his ideas - ALL of them. Be sure to listen to this conversation as Rob shares his expanded vision and elaborates on his keys to success.
