#2232 Developing a wearable (that could actually help users live longer)

41 minutes

Many of the people who I’ve interviewed were lifelong entrepreneurs. They sold things as kids or had lawn mowing services. But joining me today is someone who went a different path. He’s a scientist who got a great job, made his parents proud, and then decided to become an entrepreneur. He built something that he thought was incredible, but the people didn’t seem to see his full vision.

But he didn’t let that stop him. Josep Solá is the co-founder of Aktiia, a continuous blood pressure monitor. I invited him here to find out why he did this, how well it’s doing, and how he thinks this can change the world.
