The Top 10 Inventions in 2016

Wireless Headphones $159

Wireless headphones have been around for years, but Apple’s new Airpods offer some unique features that make them stand out. You can listen to music, but they also come with microphones so you can control your phone with your voice and they can even detect when they are in your ears. Plus, they automatically pair with your iPhone.

PlayStation VR $400

Virtual reality is still a huge market, which most likely has a lot of growth and development still to come. However, so far VR headsets have been rather expensive. Enter the PlayStation VR, which at only $400 works with the Sony PlayStation 4 and offers millions a great VR experience.

Talking Speaker $180

Amazon has created a whole new type of personal assistant with the Amazon Echo. This smart speaker answers your questions and can also help you with several chores around the house, like turning off lights, calling a cab or ordering some pizza.

Smart Thermometer $40

Who enjoys having a thermometer stuck in their mouth to get a temperature reading? No one does, really, especially a child who doesn’t feel well. While new methods have been created, the Arc InstaTemp makes taking a temperature a piece of cake with its infrared technology. Now you don’t even have to touch your forehead to get a reading. Just place it an inch away from the subject and you get an instant, accurate reading.

The American Dreams show was the brainchild of Alan Olsen, CPA, MBA. It was originally created to fill a specific need; often inexperienced entrepreneurs lacked basic information about raising capital and how to successfully start a business. Alan sincerely wanted to respond to the many requests from aspiring entrepreneurs asking for the information and introductions they needed. But he had to find a way to help in which his venture capital clients and friends would not mind.

The American Dreams show became the solution, first as a radio show and now with YouTube videos as well. Always respectful of interview guest’s time, he’s able to give access to individuals information and inspiration previously inaccessible to the first-time entrepreneurs who need it most. They can listen to venture capitalists and successful business people explain first-hand, how they got to where they are, how to start a company, how to overcome challenges, how they see the future evolving, opportunities, work-life balance and so much more..
