Episode 3 | Tom Burden, Inventor of Grypmat

The automotive industry is full of needs. But what does it take to find a solution to fill these needs? Today’s guest, Tom Burden, has our answer. Tom’s parents said they wouldn’t pay for college, so he said he would join the military to call their bluff. Turns out, they were not bluffing and he eventually became an F-16 weapons mechanic for the US Air Force. Throughout his life, he has always dreamed of being an inventor and throughout his career as an aircraft mechanic, he saw a need that could fulfill that dream. Working on an aircraft is a very tedious work where you absolutely cannot lose a bolt or any piece for that matter, and on a curved metal machine, that becomes a difficult task. His solution? Grypmat – the world’s best non-slip, flexible tool tray. From a kid dreaming of being an inventor, to actually finding a need and providing a solution, his idea airing on shark tank, to making the Forbes 30 under 30 list, Tom has definitely achieved the title of “inventor”. Let’s hear how he did it. WELCOME to the Cutting Edge Garage Podcast.

Episode 2 | CEO of SP Tools Tom Tucker

The automotive industry is forever evolving and full of needs. Today’s guest, Tom Tucker, CEO of SP Tools, was able to see an obvious gap in the tool market that no one else could. The more people who said the market didn’t need another tool brand, the more he realized it did. He says, “The greatest success for any business is all about timing. The right product or service at exactly the time the customer needs it.” Tom started his career in the work world as a Civil Engineer, so how did he come to be so successful in owning and operating an international tool business? Let’s find out. WELCOME to the Cutting Edge Garage Podcast!
