This week on A Life’s Story we speak with Eddy Goldfarb, the 99 year-old toy inventor! From being a part of WWII in the US Navy to inventing the much beloved Yakity Yak Talking Teeth more than 60 years ago, Eddy has lived life to the fullest. Even as a child he knew he wanted to be an inventor, tinkering in high school and sending off ideas to different companies. Despite facing adversity, hear how Eddy has handled his troubles with grace and hopefully we can learn something from his positive outlook along the way.
