PREFACE – THE BIG IDEA
In 2007, I became captivated by a show called "The Big Idea," which revolved around the concept that recognizing a problem and finding a solution to it could potentially lead to great success, even millions. Known for my knack for creative problem-solving, I watched with keen interest.
As an overweight, middle-aged, single woman, I had an epiphany that would lead to an innovation I am eager to share with you—SafeCheck.
