Episode 195: Invention and Device Development in Anesthesiology with Trevor Gibbs

00:00 / 1:12:03

In this 195th Episode I welcome Dr. Trevor Gibbs to the show to discuss the process of taking an idea all the way to market as a new device. He talks through how he came up with his novel idea for a unique anesthesia stand, the long process of developing a company, getting a patent and bringing it to market, and how others can learn from his experience if they want to do something similar.

A listener recommended the book Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willinck and Lief Babbin about what makes Navy Seal teams successful. There are lots of parallels with what I discussed on this episode.
