Patricia Nolan-Brown, inventor of the original Rear-Facing Carseat
Mirror and a number of other popular products, offers some valuable
words of advice for budding inventors: 1) the best ideas are simple and
straightforward, 2) executing an idea is more important than conceiving
it, 3) don’t give up too soon, and 4) don’t assume that anyone else is
smarter than you. Want more from Patricia? She’s one of the speakers at
the October 12 MIBU Boston Conference. Learn more and save your place at

"Patricia, is the woman of invention, forget about the father of
invention. She has it going and she knows her stuff, total pro!"
James Lowe
KJAG Radio http://www.kjagradio.comThank you for speaking at our breakfast! Patricia's
story of "ideas turned to invention" was very interesting and brought
the often awed at concept of invention into a reality that is both
inspiring and motivating. One of the biggest takeaways I got from
Patricia's story was the fact that she was able to and still continues
to create & sell her inventions juggling work and family - often the
biggest objection people have when deciding whether to peruse their
ideas and take risks - something Patricia continues to do very well!"
Evona W. Niewiadomska Director of Marketing & Operations WorkBar Boston
“Patricia so kindly reached out to our office to offer her services
and advice to our students about her leadership experiences and business
savvy that she has honed through years of running her own business.
She went out of her way to let me know that she would like to be a
mentor to current FSU Students. She is an extremely competent and
accomplished alumna.
Her attendance at the Career Conference that our office sponsored at
Framingham State last month, was a delight to all that attended. Her
display table was full of her inventions and excitement rose as she
showed FSU staff and students her various creations. I was in awe of her
creativity and the entrepreneurial spirit she displayed throughout the
mentor event. She was engaging and energetic.
I hope to see her again at future mentor events. Our students truly benefited from her wisdom!”
Dawn Ross,
Career Services & Employer Relations Internship Coordinator, Framingham State University
"We thought you were a great
interview- very informative,
lots of good information that we think is very valuable to our
listeners! Good luck with all of your future endeavors!"
