Have you ever looked around at the products you use in your everyday life and wondered, “How did this get created?” It’s a question many people ask, as evidenced by TV shows such as “How It’s Made,” and the many YouTube channels dedicated to showing the creative process behind the products we use.

My guest today helps us explore this fascinating world of product development. His name is Chris Bray, and he is the CEO of SPEED Virtual Product Development, a design agency that is reshaping how clients take advantage of the value of product design.

I met Chris as a local Christian Business Leaders event earlier this year. I immediately was fascinated by his world and the process of designing and manufacturing products. In this conversation, you’ll learn what a virtual product development agency does, the range of disciplines required for his job, the advantages and challenges of going solo, and so much more.

A big part of expanding our creativity is exploring our curiosity and learning new things. I had a blast doing this interview, and I know you’ll learn quite a few things and be inspired by Chris’s creativity, as I was.
