On today's episode of From the Basement Up, we sit down with Founder & CEO of Socket Lock-It™, Caitie Gehlhausen.
Caitie is an inventor, college graduate, retired D1 athlete, a gen Z-er, a serial entrepreneur, and quite a successful businesswoman already in her first few years of founding and operating her own business. Caitie’s technique of observation gave her the perfect idea, timing, and tone for how she was going to get herself as an inventor (as we like to say) out of the basement.
After having the time to see what her friends and family were missing, she took to her teachers and those around her to level up her idea, hit the ground running, and eventually make her way into the world’s largest retailer: Walmart. She isn’t stopping anytime soon, and today we get to hear how she’s gotten so far in her career already, where she plans to go, and what she’s learned along the way.
