For episode 2 of The Innovators Podcast, we host Jim Fay, ISU alum, inventor of the Diaper Genie, and serial entrepreneur. Jim was the father of Huggies Pullups and Huggies Baby Wipes while working at Kimberly-Clark and later founded the company that invented the Diaper Genie (the #1 non-disposable baby product in the U.S.).

Jim has returned to Iowa State to teach classes in the Engineering and Business Colleges, in addition to his new startup venture, “Fin and Viola”, located right here in the Research Park.

Alison stepped in to host this episode; she and Jim talked about everything from entrepreneurial inspiration to cycling. Check it out and let us know what you think. Be on the lookout for our podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify soon!
