Acerca de esta escucha
A true David versus Goliath story.
Discover how a small group of hardworking, focused, and determined entrepreneurs forever changed the medical device industry.
In the face of betrayal and overwhelming odds, this band of brothers fought with courage, commitment, and enduring faith and came together to disrupt the cash flow and business models of multibillion-dollar corporations, which they affectionately called the “Big Dogs”.
Gain an inside perspective on how the medical device industry works and how the Big Dogs would use every weapon in their arsenal to wreak havoc on this fledgling business. Eventually, the reprocessing industry would be codified by the Food and Drug Administration, soundly defeating the Big Dog Kingdom.

Filled with sharply drawn, emotionally powerful senses, Walk Through Fire traces the hardships Sheila faced in her marriage and her professional life. Despite her skills as a violinist and music teacher, as well as her obvious entrepreneurial talent, she had to fight to overcome self-doubt and fears of failure. Sheila vividly details her struggles, including battling institutional racism, losing a child, suffering emotional abuse in her thirty-three-year marriage, and plunging into a deep depression with her divorce. And yet, out of that pain came renewed purpose and meaning.

Robert Iger became CEO of The Walt Disney Company in 2005, during a difficult time. Competition was more intense than ever, and technology was changing faster than at any time in the company’s history. His vision came down to three clear ideas: Recommit to the concept that quality matters, embrace technology instead of fighting it, and think bigger - think global - and turn Disney into a stronger brand in international markets.

With five successful companies to his name and over $1.2 billion in combined retail sales, serial entrepreneur Jim Markham has made an indelible mark on the hair care industry. Across six decades, he has built a legacy of innovation that has forever changed how people care for their hair. But the path to success wasn't foregone, obvious, or easy.

The start of Home Depot sounds like the beginning of a bad joke: Two Jews and an Italian decide to build a new kind of hardware store... In 1978, Bernie Marcus's livelihood depended on just such a scenario. Having been fired at the age of forty-nine, he teamed up with Arthur Blank and Ken Langone on a bold new endeavor. Their first day in business was so disastrous that the next morning, Marcus's wife wouldn't let him shave because she didn't want a razor in his hands.

At the age of 26, John Roa was an aspiring but struggling entrepreneur. He was broke, racking up debt, and ready to give up on his dream of being self-made. In a final effort, he founded the design firm ÄKTA, which quickly became one of the fastest growing startups in America, and just five years later, he sold it for a fortune to Salesforce, the largest company in San Francisco. This is his account of rising from a self-described below-average student to becoming a poster boy for the successful young entrepreneur, while nearly destroying himself in the process.

A journey of perseverance and of providence
One man's journey of perseverance and of providence. Of cause and effect, of betrayals and adversities. The story of a man, along with the steadfast wife who would always believe in him and face the world with him...and who would never, never, never give up. Kicked by life time and again, always to rise yet 'one more time'. And who would ultimately succeed in changing an industry that may well affect almost every individual in this country at some point in their lives.
Who among us in this journey called life, has not at some point found ones self seemingly all alone, with the only folks one may trust perhaps, or seemingly, so far away...yet still, counting on, depending on and believing on one, to defeat the odds... and to 'make it all happen' and make it all right? Feeling perhaps all but crushed by the circumstances of life, and hearing one's own voice so painfully asking in our head... "How did I get here? Just how the hell did I get here?" If you have not yet felt these things, hang on - you likely yet will. In your own set of circumstances, in your own settings, but even so....Betrayals are almost a prerequisite of life. Certainly adversities & tribulations are. This is the accounting of a man who because of his DNA and makeup...and for the sake of those counting upon him... would 'stand back up', to face the odds, time and time and time again.
