Passion, subject matter expertise, creativity, determination, a $1,000 investment from Mom, and tons of courage has culminated in securing a global patent for a product that is going to change the veterinary industry: KlipTrio. In this episode of I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY Alex Contreras shares his compelling story. Product of a single-parent home, he knew early on that he wanted to work as a Vet Tech while watching Animal Planet with Abuelo (Grandpa). He realized he needed a Vet Tech certificate to gain career traction, after being laid off from his first job in a vet office notwithstanding his exemplary performance as an employee. The rest is history in the making after one day several years ago Alex experienced two Aha! moments that lead to the invention of KlipTrio. Listen in to learn about the business acumen he acquired along the way, and the generous insights he shares about creating a new product and patenting it. But the real treat is seeing this “regular guy” as he puts it, express excitement at the imminence of creating generational wealth and buying a house for Mom.
