Packing Cubes and an Entrepreneurial Oventure, Part 1

Today’s guest Dave has done something that scares me to death.

He makes physical products.

Dave is the owner of a travel gear company known as Odventure Travel Gear.

And their flagship product?

Packing Cubes.

We discuss why packing cubes are so awesome and some of the different ways that people use them to organize their luggage. We then move onto some of the things that spurred Dave down the entrepreneurial path, why he chose to make travel gear, and discuss one cliche that is absolutely true.

This is Part 1 of a 2 part interview. Check back tomorrow for a behind the scenes look on how creating physical products works, a great travel hack if you’re getting married, and a recommendation for the best beignets in New Orleans.
