MILLION DOLLAR IDEAS AND
THE PEOPLE BEHIND THEM

Media Experience

A new multi-platform television series that answers the

#1question about the world’s most successful inventions. 

Why Didn’t I Think of That?® is based on the timeless notion that we are all inventors and entrepreneurs at heart.

We’ve all got great ideas, but how do you turn great ideas into fortunes or use them to change the world?

Is it luck? Is it brains?

Or both?

Why Didn’t I Think of That?® is based on a successful web site (ThinkOfThat.net) and nationally syndicated radio feature that focuses on the ‘eureka’ moment of inspiration that can change the world we live in!

 

The concept is being re-launched as a nationally broadcast TV series, podcast, digital destination and educational curriculum distributed worldwide!

Television Demo

Each half hour episode of Why Didn’t I Think of That?®  will bring to life the evolution of some of the most successful inventions through first person narrative and re-creations. Each episode will feature 5 invention stories presented in a countdown or top-five format and connected by a common theme.

Hearing the story directly from the inventor will take precedence and their stories will be told in the actual location where the original eureka moment occurred. It’s not just the invention or the idea that inspires. It’s the birth of the idea that is truly compelling! For historical stories and inventions a re-creation of the idea’s development process and story will be included. Next we learn about the success of the product and its franchise today.
