Kelly's guest has an outstanding story of how identifying a niche in what could be a recession proof business led to "Reviver", the first mass produced and marketed digital license plate. We've all thought about what a great idea it would be and wondered why it hadn't been done before. You'll hear the tale of patience and fortitude it took to work with the bureaucracy to make it happen over years of persistence. The states of California and Arizona would be the first to adopt the plate with Texas, Florida and others close behind. Neville Boston shares his story of process and procedure in dealing with state government and getting funding to bring his dream to fruition, as well as some of the challenges being an African American entrepreneur.
