Long Form Description: For this week’s segment of Invent America, Michael King and co-host Rita Crompton welcome Ezra Roper with Red Spark Company to discuss “Prototypes: What is the First Step?” Red Spark Company helps inventors turn their ideas into products. For more information, please visit: www.redsparkcompany.com. Born a natural entrepreneur, Roper has always enjoyed pushing boundaries and thinking outside the box. From his first venture as a middle schooler to the multiple businesses he owns now, it’s amazing his ability to bring his ideas to life! Roper is usually the first to jump in and start getting things done, a quality he attributes to growing up on a ranch, “the best way to get through a challenge or an opportunity is to roll up the sleeves and go to work”. If you hear him talking about it, you better believe he is going to back it up with his tremendous work ethic. Throughout his career, he has focused his energy on the development of successful businesses and products. The only thing he loves more than start-ups and early phase companies is his family.
