I'm on The Big Idea Tonight!

I'm a guest expert by phone on The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch at 10pm EST Thursday, Sept. 25, on CNBC!

Bead Trade™ is a game that was invented by an avid beader, Hannah Braun-Allen. Hannah appealed to The Big Idea to get her business off the ground. She named me as one of her beading heroes, so they contacted me to surprise her with some advice on the show. (How cool is that?!) View my 5 Action Steps for Hannah on The Big Idea website.

Bead Trade is similar to Bingo, except instead of letters and numbers, the boards are covered with beading terminology and each player contributes a bead to the pot at the beginning of each round. When a matching word is drawn from the bag, you get to mark that word on your game board. Players can add risk by placing value on beads from their own stashes and using them to up the ante as the game progresses. It's a great gift for the beaders in your life or a fun way to introduce newbies to your favorite hobby.

The idea for the game came to Hannah in a dream and she has been working hard to make it a reality ever since! On the show, Donny's guest experts give her some ideas for how she can get in touch with people and companies who can help her take it to the next level. I was thrilled to be a part of it!
