From revolutionary thinkers to fearless founders, the upcoming Inventors and Innovators broadcast is shaping up to be one of the most dynamic special broadcasts of the summer. Streaming live from July 9–12, 9AM to 3PM PST, this four-day experience will spotlight the brains and passion behind the world’s most exciting ideas; those who not only dream big but build bigger.
With a style that blends red-carpet energy and real-world impact, Inventors and Innovators is where the visionary meets the practical. It’s not a webinar or an online summit but a curated showcase of origin stories, breakthrough moments, and future-forward ideas from entrepreneurs, creators, inventors, and thinkers who are redefining what’s possible.
The Power of the Origin Story
Behind every product that changed the world and every company that made history is a moment, a spark, that started it all. That’s what this event celebrates: the turning point when a bold idea became something real. Throughout the broadcast, you’ll hear directly from the people who lived those moments and never looked back.
From first-time inventors to serial entrepreneurs, Inventors and Innovators pull back the curtain on stories that aren’t always told. The late nights, the self-doubt, the personal risk, and the exhilarating victories. It’s a tribute to grit as much as genius.
Sharon Lechter, Donny Epstein & the Idea Architects
Bestselling author and financial literacy advocate Sharon Lechter will be featured among the many innovators who bring not just ideas but also impact. Known for her work on Rich Dad Poor Dad and her tireless commitment to entrepreneurship education, Lecter has helped shape the way millions approach wealth-building, legacy, and personal power.
Also taking the virtual stage is Donny Epstein, a transformational pioneer in energetic healing whose methods have empowered thousands to align with their highest potential. His approach is a blend of science, intuition, and personal evolution. A true innovator in mind-body wellness.
Forbes Riley, best known for creating the wildly successful SpinGym, brings star power and entrepreneurial grit. With more than $2.5 billion in product sales under her belt, she’s not just an inventor but a movement. Forbes has carved out a unique space at the intersection of health, media, and empowerment.
Then there’s Tyler Ornstein, who brewed up a revolution with the world’s first acid-free coffee. What began as a mission to help his father enjoy coffee without pain turned into a thriving global brand that’s now helping thousands sip without stomach issues. His story is a powerful reminder that the best inventions are born from love and necessity.
Environmental innovator Edward Jones joins with a story that’s as heart-centered as it is groundbreaking. He’s the creator of the Water Whale, a portable water recycling unit designed to reduce water waste in communities with limited access. His invention is changing the way we think about conservation one drop at a time.
Diane Strand, a trailblazer in creative arts education, is the founder of DigiFest, a local California-based festival that’s grown into a recognized platform for up-and-coming actors, directors, photographers, and digital creators. Her vision? Give new talent the spotlight and a launchpad.
From across the pond, Dani Wallace, the charismatic founder of The Big Festoon, is bringing her UK-grown celebration of impact-makers to the world stage. What started as a grassroots movement to uplift change-makers has now gone international, honoring those making bold moves in business, activism, and community leadership.
These creators represent the heart of Inventors and Innovators: different paths different passions, but the same fearless drive to build something that matters.
But make no mistake: Inventors and Innovators isn’t about celebrity headliners. It’s about creators of every kind, from every background, with one thing in common: they’re building something that matters.
A Lineup That Celebrates Diversity in Innovation
One of the broadcast’s most exciting elements is its commitment to showcasing diverse voices across industries. Tech, wellness, finance, education, social impact, entertainment, and beyond. From college students with a new app to CEOs of rising startups, from nonprofit leaders to global consultants, the event brings together minds as varied as the problems they aim to solve.
Each segment is interactive, with real-time audience engagement. Attendees can comment, ask questions, and get direct insights from speakers. It’s part conversation, part live workshop, and part behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to bring an idea to life.
From Lightbulb Moment to Launch
So often, we see the final product; the bestselling book, the viral app, the household name. But Inventors and Innovators takes viewers on the journey that happens before the spotlight: the unglamorous, unfiltered, and undeniably human path of creation. You’ll hear stories that remind us that anyone can be an inventor when inspiration meets action.
More Than Inspiration—It’s Implementation
While the event is inspiring, it’s also refreshingly practical. Each speaker offers not just a story but a lesson. What they wish they had known sooner, what tools they used, and what mistakes helped them grow.
Whether you’re building your first prototype, launching a digital business, writing your first book, or just looking for clarity on your next big idea, you’ll walk away with tangible advice and fresh motivation.
And best of all? It’s completely free to attend.
The Inventors and Innovators broadcasts July 9–12, from 9AM to 3PM PST daily. To see the full lineup and register for free, visit IIBroadcast.com.
Come for the inspiration. Stay for the transformation.
