"Every one of my videos has a link in the description to One Simple Idea, which is foundational reading for anyone who wants to learn how to successfully license their ideas and inventions. Stephen Key is one of the few folks in the inventing and entrepreneurial space that's not trying to scam folks or peddle get-rich-quick schemes."
