In this episode of Breakthrough Innovation, we talk with Sam Berman, founder of LARC (Logistics Advanced Research Center) and author of Militant Mind, a brutally honest dive into the psychology of building what doesn’t exist.

Sam’s story isn’t about overnight success — it’s about obsession, failure, grit, and spiritual resilience in the face of overwhelming odds.

🧠 The psychological cost of building something no one believes in

🔥 Why obsession is both the fuel and the risk of real innovation

📦 How LARC is transforming the global movement of mission-critical hardware

💥 “People problems” are usually system problems — and he built a better one

🙏 Why faith, identity, and pain shape the best founders — and what to do when the burden is too heavy

This is more than an innovation story — it’s a story of internal reckoning, perseverance, and the invisible battle every visionary faces.
