What do you do about it? When you see a problem, what's the first thing you do? Most of us probably Google a solution and if we don’t find something in a few minutes we learn to deal with the problem and move on. But not Nate Kutsko. When Nate sees a problem that no one has solved, he solves it himself.
The Art of InventingNate spent most of his life inventing solutions to common (and sometimes not so common) problems. A couple years ago, Nate noticed that a power tool he owned had no proper belt holding solution on the market. Most of us would be forced to deal with this problem or try to rig a regular belt to make it fit. Not Nate: he invented a holding clip solution for the product. Nate is also a golf enthusiast. One day, he was wondering why there wasn't a way to properly teach yourself to golf rather than pay for expensive coaches. Most of us would simply spend more time on the driving range or play more rounds of golf. That wasn't good enough for Nate. Instead, he invented a real time camera recording system that allows the golfer to view himself while he golfs using advanced eye-wear and recording technology. More recently, Nate recognized a major shortcoming in the design of all cutting boards on the market. Instead of dealing with these shortcomings, he designed an elegant solution and created a business out of it. For Nate Kutsko, solving problems isn't a thing to be avoided; it's what creating your life's work is all about.
