In this episode of Medsider Radio, we sat down with Ryan Rhodes, CEO of EDAP TMS. EDAP is changing prostate cancer treatment through Focal One, a robotic high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) system that doesn't require the use of surgery or radiation. Ryan has over 30 years of experience in market development, with two decades focused on medical robotics. Before EDAP, Ryan was CEO of Restoration Robotics, where he guided the company to a successful merger with Venus Concept. He spent 13+ years at Intuitive Surgical, establishing the global Urology franchise, which became the company's entry point for broader adoption of the da Vinci system. He also spent 11 years at Ethicon (J&J) in sales, marketing, and market development.In this interview, Ryan challenges founders to ask: Are you creating a scalable medtech solution or a product with limited growth potential? He unpacks why standardization and scalability are critical for adoption, how clinical data fuels credibility and reimbursement, and why early adopters take the biggest risks — but also reap the biggest rewards.Before we dive into the discussion, I wanted to mention a few things:First, if you're into learning from medical device and health technology founders and CEOs, and want to know when new interviews are live, head over to Medsider.com and sign up for our free newsletter.Second, if you want to peek behind the curtain of the world's most successful startups, you should consider a Medsider premium membership.

Wie wird aus einem Startup ein Unicorn – also ein Unternehmen mit einer Milliarden-Bewertung? In dieser Folge spricht Jan mit Simon aus London, einem Leadership-Coach, der bereits zweimal Unternehmen auf diesem Weg begleitet hat. Einer der Gründer war ein klassischer "Bedroom Founder", der andere kam als externer CEO in ein kleines Unternehmen (MBI). Mit viel britischem Humor teilt Simon, der selbst die Consulting-Firma "Value Partnerships" führt, seine wertvollen Einsichten – auf Englisch mit kleinen deutschen Momenten. Das Schlüsselzitat, das Jan in Nairobi von Simon hörte, bringt es auf den Punkt: "Most startups fail. That fail is most time predictable. If you want to prevent it, you need leadership." Am Beispiel von Miniclip-Gründer Rob zeigt Simon, wie der Wandel vom produktfokussierten Gründer zum echten Unternehmensleiter gelingt. Seine Top-3-Fehler, die Start-ups zum Scheitern bringen: falsche Leute im Team, im statt am Unternehmen arbeiten und mangelnde Anpassungsfähigkeit. Die wichtigste Eigenschaft für langfristigen Erfolg? Humilität – die Demut zu erkennen, dass man nicht alle Antworten hat und bereit sein muss, immer weiterzulernen. Hör dir diese Folge unbedingt an, wenn du verstehen willst, wie du mit der richtigen Führung dein Startup zum Unicorn entwickeln kannst!Hast du Lust Jan und Simon persönlich kennenzulernen und ihnen Fragen zu stellen?

In this episode of "On the Brink with Andi Simon," we engage in an insightful conversation with Chantal Cornelius, the founder of Appletree Marketing.  Together we delve into the intricate art of marketing strategies tailored for service-based businesses, particularly coaches and consultants. With over two decades of experience in the field, Chantelle's expertise is rooted in a unique approach that emphasizes fostering emotional connections with clients to create lasting and impactful relationships. Why Should You Foster Emotional Connections in Business? Chantal begins by sharing her personal and professional journey in the marketing world, painting a vivid picture of how she transitioned from a traditional marketer to a strategic advisor focused on helping service-based businesses thrive. Her early years were marked by learning the conventional aspects of marketing and understanding client expectations. However, through years of hands-on experience, Chantal discovered that the most effective way for businesses to resonate with their audiences was through meaningful emotional connections. This revelation led her to refine her approach and establish five key strategies at the core of her work today: Certainty, Connection, Contribution, Growth, and Significance.

My guest for Episode #279 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Cynthia Kay, author of Small Business Big Success: Proven Strategies to Beat the Odds and Grow a Great Business. Episode page with video, transcript, and more As a business owner for over 35 years, Cynthia Kay has attracted well-known and respected customers from the global Fortune 100 to smaller forward-thinking businesses. Along the way, she has developed practical, actionable strategies for businesses from starting up to stepping out.  As a former board chair of the National Small Business Association, she had advocated for small businesses and spoken to diverse audiences across the country. She has also mentored business owners as a member of the American Academy of Entrepreneurs.  In this episode, Cynthia shares her journey as a business owner and the lessons she's learned along the way. Cynthia discusses her favorite mistake—starting her business with a partner who wasn't a good fit. Despite planning out the financial and operational aspects, she overlooked the importance of aligning on working styles, values, and approaches to growth. Over time, their differing perspectives, particularly around scaling the business and relinquishing control, created tension. This led to the eventual dissolution of the partnership. Through this experience, Cynthia developed the idea of a "business prenup," emphasizing the importance of thorough communication and alignment before entering into partnerships. She also offers advice on leadership, hiring, and building a resilient organization. Questions and Topics: What would you say is your favorite mistake? Why do you think the partnership didn't work? How did things end up playing out with the partnership? How quickly did those differences show up, or did they creep in over time? How did you try to address those differences? What advice do you have for others considering partnerships? When you say the company had grown, how many employees did you have, or what was the scale of growth? Can you tell us about the moment when you realized the partnership wasn't working? Can you talk about some of the common mistakes small business owners make? What advice would you give about building a resilient organization after setbacks or mistakes? How do you handle disagreements in your company, especially with different generations in the workplace? What are the key traits that lead to success in your company? How do you foster a culture where people feel comfortable admitting mistakes? What are your thoughts on creating a learning organization? What traits or behaviors do you look for in people who are successful at CK and Company? Where can people find more information about you and your book?

A strong, cohesive business culture is fundamental to the success of any organization. From maintaining high motivation levels to preventing procrastination and addressing internal conflicts, the culture within a business can significantly impact its overall performance. In this episode, Adam Stott and Inga Grigaitiene dive deep into the critical aspect of building an exceptional business culture. Drawing parallels with legendary football manager Alex Ferguson, Adam discusses how establishing discipline, respect, and a shared vision can drive a company's success. By fostering a positive environment and combating procrastination, businesses can retain high-performing employees and achieve significant results. Discipline, respect, and a shared vision are foundational elements of a successful business environment. Valuing and respecting staff members leads to better customer service and overall business success. As businesses grow, the focus shifts from individual contributions to team dynamics. A diverse team brings varied strengths and perspectives, integral for a robust culture. Setting clear goals and expectations helps in maintaining order and achieving business objectives.

Self-Storage has more resilience across different economic cycles. Whether people are downsizing or upsizing, storing expensive toys, or making space for a home office, they need to rent storage space. Increasingly, small businesses are also utilizing self-storage. A third of all Americans utilize self-storage facilities for various needs. In the right markets and the right locations, self-storage has a steady, predictable revenue stream with low operating expenses that results in high operating margins and profitability. Jacob Vanderslice, Principal of VanWest Partners, owns 19,000 storage units across 38 facilities in smaller markets with less competition and strong market fundamentals.
