In this episode, Rita discusses how couples who invent together manage to move their product from mind to market without having to resort to couples' therapy. Her guests are the husband and wife team of Bruce and Melanie Thomas, who've invented the RETAIN Garden Tool Treatment, and Dr. Brian Paul, an intense trauma psychologist and an inventor himself, whose practice consists of counseling couples, both those who work together and those who do not, on intense trauma issues that may get in the way of a healthy relationship.
