  Episode Summary:   Pat Lawlor has a demeanor that has rubbed some the wrong way over the years. Let’s face it: as a designer, you need to get strong personalities in line, meet corporate deadlines, push your creative vision to the edge, and have confidence in yourself that your product design will sell. Maybe part of that reputation was created in his early career in the Williams Pinball Shark Tank.

Join us this month as we discuss Pat Lawlor joining William Pinball, Larry DeMar’s double dippin’, fun child-like pinball designs, Whirlwind, that creepy shutter mech, what Python Anghelo thinks of Pat, proving the naysayers wrong, and yes, the record-breaking Addams Family.
