Hey, everyone! Today we sat with Dennis Caco the creator of Max Boost Comics. Max Boost is a comic that debuted in Import Tuner Magazine in 1998 and ran until 2006. The Max Boost Comic was a hit and one of the reasons for the success of the Import Tuner Magazine. In 2006, Dennis was taking Max Boost to the top and was having amazing success with the brand  until a life-changing deal fell through and lead to Dennis take a break on Max Boost. In 2017 Dennis's brother started to show interest in modding cars and that gave Dennis the spark to revive the Max Boost brand. Since then the fans from the last 20+ years came back with excitement to see their old friends "Max and Otto". Dennis is a remarkable person and his dedication and work ethic is inspiring. Please make sure to show Dennis some love and go support his vision. Thank you for watching and if you enjoy this pod, please tell a friend! ALSO!!!

Let’s face it, there are a ton of hurdles and logistical difficulties that arise when a woman needs to change her outfit away from the comfort of her home. For years, the solution has been wide-ranging from uncomfortable outfit changes in the car to enduring less than ideal public bathrooms. Finally there is a helpful solution on the marketplace, The Undress. The Undress is more than just a dress; it is a system that has many proprietary features to help women change clothes without ever getting naked. Not only is The Undress practical, but it is also fashionable too! Check out their latest version by going to www.TheUndressV4.com or their Kickstarter campaign page.

While the platform was male-dominated and tech-dominated at the time, they decided to give it a shot and see how a portable changing room designed as a dress would fare for their first crowdfunding campaign. As it turned out, the product resonated with many women and ended up a great success. Overcoming production challenges.

After multiple challenges with the first production run and then returning to Kickstarter with several updated versions of The Undress, what enabled Dennis and April to enjoy such marketing success?
