Kevin highlights co-founding Harbor to improve baby monitors with direct connections, cloud features, and smart audio filters, plus affordable professional sleep support. He also shares lessons from growing Mizzen in Maine, emphasizing athlete partnerships, podcast sponsorships, and the importance of distribution and customer feedback.

He overcame rejection by building value for store owners and stresses the importance of customer interviews to understand the target market and drive growth.

Kevin gives a shoutout to professional athletes and Tim Ferriss for boosting Mizzen in Maine, with Ferriss later investing in Harbor. He also credits Damon John for advising him on wholesale distribution, particularly targeting boutique stores.
