If you had £500,000 to enter the US with your MedTech product, where would you spend it first?For clinician founders looking to export a medical device to the US, the size of the opportunity can make it tempting to think big from day one. But entering the US MedTech market and scaling across it are two very different decisions. In this episode, Hakeem and international growth and commercialisation consultant Craig T. Ingram explore whether you should build a US sales team, appoint a distributor, raise more capital or prove your commercial model in one defined market segment first. In this episode you'll discover:Why treating the US as one enormous MedTech market can lead to expensive commercial and export decisions.How proving your commercial model in one defined US customer segment can help you understand acquisition costs, adoption pathways and whether your product can actually make money before you scale. Why hiring a sales team, appointing a distributor or raising more capital shouldn't substitute for first understanding exactly where, how and why your medical device will sell in the US.

Hakeem and Jared
What if spending more money on sales isn't actually the fastest way to grow your MedTech business?For clinician founders looking to commercialise and export a medical device internationally, growing a MedTech business takes more than regulatory approval, investment and an expensive sales team. If the market doesn't understand the problem your product solves or have a reason to change, adding salespeople can simply increase your burn rate without increasing adoption. In this episode, Hakeem speaks with international growth and commercialisation consultant Craig T. Ingram about creating demand before launch, entering new export markets and building a commercial model capable of sustainable international growth.By listening you'll discover:Why MedTech commercialisation needs to start long before regulatory approval and product launch.Why spending heavily on salespeople isn't the same as building a market—and what needs to happen first to create demand.Why proving your commercial model, controlling your burn rate and executing consistently can be more important than trying to scale quickly.ActionListen now to discover how to grow your MedTech business by creating demand first, spending your commercial resources more intelligently and building a model that can scale sustainably.Book a 30min Healthcare Export Accelerator discovery callMessage me via DM on LinkedinThis podcast is for clinicians and solo founders feeling stuck in turning their medical devices into real businesses, with practical insight on go to market strategy, sales strategy, product launch, sales plans, business growth, exporting, selling internationally and how to scale up their international sales in MedTech.
Canada flat-out rejected Trump's terms in trade talks, so now it looks like we are going to have a trade war with our friends in the Great White North. Sorry, Maine. Sorry, bourbon industry. And in MAGA farm country, ranchers are furious that POTUS is increasing beef imports free of tariffs. Even Tom Cotton has dared to question Trump's move. And on the other side of the aisle, Democrats should maximize their attacks on ICE, the midterms are looking wave-ish, and Hakeem should explain why he would have a conversation with Kushner that did not involve a subpoena. Plus: the Iran war has been a strategic loss for the U.S., Trump's summer 250 celebrations were a bust, Lindsey's sister is an empty vessel, and hater Enes Kanter's campaign against the WNBA is gross and disgusting.Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller.show notes: Lauren's piece on Roy Cooper Tim's latest crazy, stupid Republicans ‘Take.'

Hawk's objection is structural. Kushner holds no government position, which is what keeps him outside security clearance and financial disclosure requirements, and he is simultaneously serving as envoy on Gaza, Iran, and Ukraine while raising money for his own fund from the governments he is negotiating with. The arithmetic is the part worth watching. Steven Rattner's chart work shows the fund is almost entirely foreign capital, including two billion from Saudi Arabia over the objection of the royal family's own advisers. At a 1.25 percent management fee, three billion under management pays Kushner roughly 37 million a year whether he does anything or not. Democratic voters keep telling pollsters they want someone who will fight. Hawk's question is what a private common ground meeting signals about January.

Thinking about exporting your MedTech product to the GCC? Are you actually ready to build a market there or are you simply looking for a distributor?Successfully exporting a MedTech product to the GCC takes more than appointing a distributor and waiting for sales.

If a great export distributor had four MedTech products to choose from today, why would they choose yours?MedTech manufacturers spend a lot of time asking whether a distributor is capable of selling their product. But there's another question that's just as important: why should a good distributor choose you? Taking on your product means investing their sales time, clinical resources, customer relationships, marketing activity and reputation. In this episode, Hakeem unpacks a real decision with experienced GCC distributor Sameh Salama to reveal what good export distributors actually look for before deciding whether a MedTech product represents a genuine commercial opportunity. Listen to this episode to discover:Why strong clinical evidence matters to export distributors but isn't enough on its own to create a compelling commercial opportunity.What good distributors assess before agreeing to represent your MedTech product—and why a distributor who challenges you can actually be a very positive sign.Why successful MedTech commercialisation and export depends on the manufacturer and distributor working together to create demand, rather than expecting the distributor to build the market alone.

Thinking about exporting your MedTech product to the GCC? What if finding a great distributor is only the beginning of what you need to succeed?The GCC can be an attractive export market for MedTech companies, but you can't simply take the strategy that worked in the UK, Europe or US, appoint a distributor and expect the same results. In this episode, Hakeem speaks with GCC MedTech distributor Sameh Salama about what manufacturers need to understand before entering the region, from choosing the right commercial partner and navigating local purchasing dynamics to clinical education, KOL engagement and supporting your distributor after launch. By listening you'll discover:Why the GCC isn't one MedTech market and what manufacturers need to understand before choosing where and how to enter. How to choose a distributor with the right portfolio, relationships and capacity to successfully commercialise your MedTech product.

If your MedTech product isn't selling as quickly as expected, are more salespeople really going to fix the problem?When a MedTech launch underperforms, hiring more salespeople, recruiting another distributor or attending more exhibitions can feel like the obvious answer. But if the market hasn't been prepared and customers don't yet see a compelling reason to change, more sales activity won't solve the underlying problem. In this episode, Hakeem explains why successful MedTech commercialisation and export starts long before launch—and why understanding and preparing your market can save you from trying to force adoption later.In this episode you'll discover:Why MedTech commercialisation should begin months before your product launches, rather than after regulatory approval.Why adding salespeople or export distributors won't fix a market that isn't ready to adopt your product.How understanding what keeps your customers awake at night can help you create demand, prepare the market and accelerate adoption.ActionListen now to learn how to prepare your market before you commercialise or export your MedTech product, so your sales team can convert demand rather than having to create it from scratch.Book a 30min Healthcare Export Accelerator discovery callMessage me via DM on LinkedinThis podcast is for clinicians and solo founders feeling stuck in turning their medical devices into real businesses, with practical insight on go to market strategy, sales strategy, product launch, sales plans, business growth, exporting, selling internationally and how to scale up their international sales in MedTech.

What do clinicians actually want before they'll adopt your MedTech product?Many MedTech founders focus on product features, clinical evidence, and regulatory approval, believing these alone will drive adoption. But clinicians evaluate new technologies through a very different lens.

If your MedTech product already has strong clinical evidence, why are clinicians still hesitant to adopt it?Many MedTech founders assume that if adoption is slow, the answer is to generate more clinical evidence. But from a clinician's perspective, the real barrier is often confidence rather than proof. In this episode, Hakeem unpacks a real commercial decision with consultant cardiologist Dr Tang Wan, revealing why trusted local reference sites can have a greater influence on adoption than another published study, and how founders should use this insight to strengthen their commercialisation strategy.In this episode, you'll discover:Why clinicians don't always need more clinical evidence before adopting a new MedTech product.How trusted local reference sites reduce the perceived risk of adopting an innovative medical device.Why your first customers can become your most influential commercial asset by accelerating future adoption.Listen now to discover why trusted reference sites often matter more than additional clinical evidence and learn how to use your early customers to drive wider MedTech adoption.Book a 30min Healthcare Export Accelerator discovery callMessage me via DM on LinkedinThis podcast is for clinicians and solo founders feeling stuck in turning their medical devices into real businesses, with practical insight on go to market strategy, sales strategy, product launch, sales plans, business growth, exporting, selling internationally and how to scale up their international sales in MedTech.
You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 27, 2026. We open with Chris Christie's Sunday morning declaration that the Trump show is over, that Iran has learned the president's threats are just bluster, and that there are no signs the United States is winning. We explain why this is not just wrong — it is reckless. Wars are not won or lost on Sunday talk show segments. But enemies listen. They translate every word. They study our divisions and exploit them. Christie chose to go on national television and tell Tehran to hold on just a little longer on the exact weekend that Iran was sending desperate messages through dozens of third countries begging to restart negotiations — after 13 consecutive days of U.S. bombing had decimated their defense industrial base, their launchers, their radars, and their economy. When critics tell the enemy that America's resolve is crumbling, they are shaping the battlefield in a way that benefits the adversary. That is not speaking truth to power. That is threatening the men and women in uniform. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump attended the White House Correspondents Dinner and delivered a speech roasting CNN's Kaitlin Collins, RFK Jr., Ted Cruz, Gavin Newsom, Rosie O'Donnell, Bruce Springsteen, Chris Christie, J.B. Pritzker, and others — with the jokes about the media landing to dead silence and the Trump 2028 trolling getting the biggest reaction of the night. Then the Maine Democratic Party officially replaced Graham Plattner — who was elected by actual voters — with Troy Jackson, a party insider selected by party leaders, because Plattner's sex scandals made him unelectable. It is Kamala Harris 2024 all over again, except instead of Sleepy Joe, they had Sleazy Graham. And an ISIS-linked attacker drove a van into a crowd at a Berlin Pride parade before exiting with a machete — killing one person and injuring 29 others before being tracked down and shot by police in a Berlin suburb. We also cover Mayor Mamdani's announcement that New Yorkers should protest when Benjamin Netanyahu visits New York for the UN General Assembly — framing Netanyahu as a war criminal and architect of genocide based on an International Criminal Court warrant the United States does not recognize. We point out that the last protest near Mamdani's home was accompanied by two Muslims attempting to kill everyone in the area with homemade bombs. We also note that foreign policy is not run from city hall in Manhattan, that the Constitution is explicit about this, and that encouraging massive protests based on blood libel lies is not just constitutionally illiterate — it is dangerous. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson report from a campfire conversation in Wyoming — where Teri's Danish-American friend, a naturalized citizen who cannot stand Trump, was asked who she would want as the next president. Her answer: not Gavin Newsom, not AOC. Marco Rubio — because he's presidential, articulate, and could actually bring people together. Terry says that's the first moment she could picture Rubio as president. We explore the historic possibility of a Trump-Vance-Rubio sequential presidency — comparing it to Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe — and what three consecutive terms of the same political coalition would mean for the Democratic Party's long-term survival. We dig deep into the financial collapse of the Democratic National Committee — reported not by Breitbart but by the New York Times and the Huffington Post. The DNC chair reportedly threw his phone at a staffer during a meeting over the party's finances. The DNC has asked vendors to delay sending bills until after the midterms so the debt doesn't appear on the balance sheet. The party is $2 million in the hole — $18 million in debt against $16 million on hand — and has already mortgaged its national headquarters to secure a $15 million line of credit. The RNC, by contrast, has $128 million cash on hand and zero debt. President Trump's personal war chest adds another $400 million. The Democrats have no message, the message they do have isn't resonating, and the money is not coming in. We also cover Senator John Kennedy's response on CBS to questions about the SAVE Act — where he calmly explained to Margaret Brennan that election integrity requires exactly two things: prove you are who you say you are to register and vote, and get back to knowing the results on election night instead of election month. We call it exactly what it is — a bright spot. And we note that 70-80% of Americans agree with Kennedy, depending on the poll. The only people who don't are Democrat politicians afraid of their own radical base. We also cover Hakeem Jeffries telling CNN that 6,600 non-citizens being registered to vote in New Jersey — with hundreds confirmed to have voted — is not a problem, and is actually an example of Republican voter suppression. We say what needs to be said: yes, Hakeem. We are trying to suppress illegal votes. That is exactly what the SAVE Act does. If the Democrat Party needs illegal votes to win, the Democrat Party should not win. And we close with 11-year-old Nehemiah Turner of Jacksonville, Florida — who started reading books to shelter dogs at the Jacksonville Humane Society, logged 100 volunteer hours becoming the first person in the program to reach that milestone, became a straight-A student in the process, and has now set his sights on 200 hours. The dogs get comfort. Nehemiah gets better at reading. Everybody wins. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

ITL debates one of the toughest defensive comparisons in Houston sports history: Who was the better defensive player, Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon or J.J. Watt? The guys compare their dominance, accolades, impact on their teams, and the way each player changed games at their peak. The conversation then shifts to the Astros as the trade deadline approaches, with the crew discussing what Dana Brown should do to strengthen the roster and whether Houston should go all-in for another postseason run. The show wraps with Figgy's Mixtape, featuring an HVAC thief on the loose, Figgy saluting a longtime Payne & Pendergast producer, and saying goodbye to the Nissan Altima.
Derrick Broze and Hakeem Anwar discuss the rapid expansion of AI data centers and the rising surveillance state. They introduce ReclaimFuture.com, a platform designed to help citizens map local data centers that threaten utility prices, water supplies, and digital privacy. The conversation highlights a growing movement of mass non-compliance against technologies like license plate readers and biometric tracking. The speakers argue that these infrastructure projects are part of a transnational technocracy that spans both Western and BRICS nations, requiring a unified, grassroots response. To combat this, they are organizing a national day of local activism on August 1st to encourage community-led resistance. They emphasize that achieving data privacy and preserving resources depends on people power and education rather than relying on global political shifts.

In this episode of YES, BRAND, Hersh Rephun sits down with Hakeem Bourne McFarlane for a raw, powerful conversation about addiction, identity, masculinity, discipline, and what it actually means to choose yourself.For Hakeem, “Choose Yourself” is not a slogan. It was born from grief, collapse, masking, substances, jail, and the long work of rebuilding a life from the inside out.Hersh and Hakeem explore:Why choosing yourself is not selfishThe difference between being a good man and being good at being a manHow achievement can become camouflage for griefWhy discipline is freedom, not punishmentThe danger of masking pain with productivityHow public accountability can become an integrity loopWhy what we consume shapes who we becomeHow vices quietly become identity substitutesAnd why your story should be the root of your brandHakeem also shares the five-pillar Choose Yourself process, his path through addiction and recovery, and how he turned personal transformation into a community, movement, and message.At its core, this episode asks:What version of yourself are you choosing when nobody is watching?--Hersh's new book, SELLING THE TRUTH: A ‘Semoir' with Insights for Life & Business is a semi memoir drawing on his adventures as an Authority Advisor and Standup Comedian.

Today we're talking to Hakeem Bourne McfarlaneHakeem's story:“I don't come from a clean origin story.I come from a real one.I grew up an only child inside addiction, instability, and silence. My parents loved me but they were fighting their own demons and I learned early how to self-regulate, self-soothe, and self-protect. I was mixed race, never fully fitting in anywhere, always adapting, always observing, always trying to earn belonging instead of feeling it. The Sports Field was where I thrived and was appreciated. Then my little brother arrived when I was 10 and for six years, I finally knew purpose outside myself. When he died from cancer, something in me hardened. Grief turned into anger, anger turned into defiance, authority felt unsafe. The structure felt like control. I carried that fracture into sports, chasing identity through performance.I went Division I… then Division II… then Division III. I dropped out. My body broke: five knee surgeries, chronic pain, identity collapse. With no structure left, I spiraled. Addiction followed—substances, chaos, numbing, distraction. I was able to pull myself out to receive my bachelors and 2 years as an all american collegiate football player. Eventually after sports were gone, the suppressed anger and loss of identity led to incarceration. That was the moment I couldn't outrun anymore.I didn't get saved. I got honest.Recovery wasn't just sobriety.. it was rebuilding my life from systems, not slogans. I learned how triggers reveal patterns, how the environment shapes identity, and how discipline can be a form of self-respect instead of punishment. I built what became the Choose Yourself process: foundation before motivation, structure before freedom, integrity before identity.I transitioned into sales, partnered with my uncle in a liquor company. I learned how pressure reveals character and eventually moved to Manhattan as top salesman in the company... not to escape my past but to integrate it into my future. That's where Choose Yourself became a movement not just a method.Today, I speak from lived cycles: collapse, rebuild, test, refine. I don't inspire from theory... I translate pain into process. My story resonates with people who've fallen off the path, questioned authority, battled addiction, lost family, rebuilt bodies, rebuilt belief, and are ready to stop repeating patterns with better excuses.If your audience values truth over polish, accountability over comfort, and hope that's earned- not borrowed - I don't just tell my story.I help people recognize theirs and choose themselves before life chooses for them.”Connect with Hakeem:https://chooseyourself.info/ https://www.instagram.com/bigdreamhakeem/ What resonated most with you?DM me on IG www.instagram.com/liveintechnicolor_ If you enjoyed this episode, leave a rating and a review.Remember - you're amazing and thank you for being here!With Love, BaibaSupport the show
Some lives force us to ask uncomfortable questions: Who decides who we become? What happens when the identities we've built our lives around suddenly disappear? And how do we begin again without pretending the past never happened?In this thoughtful, unhurried conversation, Michael sits down with Hakeem Bourne McFarlane, founder of the Choose Yourself movement, to explore identity, belonging, resilience, and the quiet work of becoming whole.Growing up mixed-race in a home marked by addiction and silence, Hakeem learned early to earn acceptance instead of expecting it. Athletics became his purpose. Achievement became his language. But after five knee surgeries, chronic pain, addiction, and ultimately incarceration, the life he'd built around performance came undone.What followed wasn't a dramatic overnight transformation—it was something far more difficult: radical honesty.Together, Michael and Hakeem explore how identity is shaped by family, culture, trauma, and expectation; why discipline can become a pathway to freedom; and what it truly means to choose yourself—not as a slogan, but as a daily practice.A cinematic, deeply human conversation about belonging, self-worth, and the stories we inherit—and the ones we decide to write for ourselves.Find us on Apple, Spotify or your favorite listening platform; visit us on our YouTube channel Find everything "One More Thing" here: https://taplink.cc/beforeyougopodcastWant to be a guest on One More Thing Before You Go?

Regulation gets you approved. A go-to-market strategy gets you adopted.The question is: are you spending more time preparing your medical device for approval than preparing it for commercial success?Many clinician founders believe launching a medical device starts with regulation, manufacturing, or raising investment.

Are broad product claims slowing down your MedTech product's route to market without you even realising it?Many MedTech companies assume that regulatory delays mean they need more clinical evidence, more funding, or more time. But in many cases, the real issue is that their product claims are broader than the evidence they already have. In this episode, Hakeem unpacks Jordan Morrison's decision-making framework and explains why narrowing your claims could help you achieve regulatory approval, generate revenue sooner, and build momentum for future growth.Listeners will discover:Why regulatory hurdles aren't always the biggest obstacle to getting your MedTech product to marketHow to match your product claims to the evidence you already haveWhy securing one well-supported claim can accelerate commercialisation and create a platform for future expansionPlay this episode now to discover how a more focused regulatory strategy could help you get your MedTech product to market faster and build commercial momentum.This keeps the focus where your audience is: commercialising MedTech products, rather than getting lost in the technicalities of regulation.Book a 30min Healthcare Export Accelerator discovery callMessage me via DM on LinkedinThis podcast is for clinicians and solo founders feeling stuck in turning their medical devices into real businesses, with practical insight on go to market strategy, sales strategy, product launch, sales plans, business growth, exporting, selling internationally and how to scale up their international sales in MedTech.
