S8 Bonus: The Alchemy of the Tide Pod: Engineering Global Materials Science and Strategic Partnerships with P. Scott Bening, Former CEO of MonoSol

Scott Bening is a 63 year old kid at heart who grew up in Buffalo, NY. He got a degree in chemistry and went into the plastics industry. Outside of his profession, he is super active - playing drums in a rock band, racing GT race cars competitively, kayaking, hiking and golfing. He has been married for 35 years, with 2 older children.

Many years ago, Scott joined a small division of a company in 1989. Scott took the company to new heights, developing and selling a material that you probably use every day - the film that wraps Tide Pods. Since retired from the company, he is advising other companies, and helping entrepreneurs through his book, titled Formulating Solutions.

This is Scott's creation story of Monosol.
