Show Notes

Richard Gearhart and Elizabeth Gearhart, co-hosts of Passage to Profit Show interview Alice Frankel from The Clutcher Pillow. 

 

Inventor and entrepreneur Elise Frankel shares the remarkable story behind the Clutcher Pillow—the dream-inspired, ergonomically designed, cooling, and fully adjustable pillow that’s transforming how people sleep. From her husband’s years of discomfort as a side sleeper to the vivid dream that revealed the pillow’s unique infinity shape, Elise takes us behind the scenes of creating a product unlike anything on the market. She opens up about the challenges of manufacturing something truly new, the science behind weighted comfort and better sleep, and how her resilience—shaped by her journey from Congo to the U.S.—drives her mission to help people wake up rested, supported, and pain-free. This is a conversation about innovation, determination, and the life-changing power of a good night’s sleep. Read more at: https://theclutcherpillow.com/
