Next up, Jeff interviews Mary Lou Palazzolo, inventor and owner of Pranzo Bags, a reusable lunch tote that keeps food, beverages and more cold on the go when refrigeration is not available.
Mary Lou invented the Pranzo Bag because she could not find a suitable lunch bag that appealed to her or had the features she was looking for… so she created her own!
During the interview, Palazzolo discusses:
- How she developed the concept for Pranzo Bags
- The eco-friendly elements of the Pranzo Bag
- Taking her idea from concept to manufacturer
- Her crowdfunding campaign, launching on Indiegogo this weekend
