BY LORI ACKEN 'Invention Hunters' host creators the business Raymond gives "Invention Hunters" – in which he stars with "Gadget Nation" author Steve Greenberg – Patrick Raymond's in-depth knowledge of the intricacies of turning a great idea into a must-have product is on full display. And while viewers may scratch their heads about As the business-minded half of Food Network's •What are you currently reading? some items he and Greenberg choose to champion for a licensing deal, Raymond understands that even a product with broad appeal and an agreeable price is not a sure thing with consumers.

That's my street cred in the inventing world – I know how to guide inventors away from all of the pitfalls because I fell into every damned one of them!"
