CEO, Inventor, U.S. Air Force Veteran, Author... What else can we say?  Did we mention that he's a nurse, which is how and why this Entrepreneurial Journey is so unique!

The message of an all in one medical underwear system for catheter leg bag users was heard and the quality of patients’ lives have been forever changed.

In 2012, Brian had a vision of this medical underwear which would completely change the way the bag is managed now and improved patient experience when wearing a leg bag.  Hear what  inspired him to design this product and offer a solution to this very real problem. A serious problem in fact.  Due to the bag sliding up and down the leg, the plastic-to-skin contact points, over-tightening of the straps, rashes and skin irritations. 

And one day, in the operating room, Brian had a vision and immediately started building the prototype.   And the rest as they say... well, you'll just have to listen to the episode to hear it!

Venture X is a shared workspace and community that is a blend of boutique hotel and modern office styles with a high level of design that feels professional and welcoming.  Catering to flexible office space with lounge areas, private offices, and many amenities for business to utilize.

Ryan Gagne, the owner of Venture X Marlborough, sat down with the SAUCE to dish the secret ingredients to his Special Sauce! 

Gagne went to college at Bridgewater State University with a degree in finance. Gagne also spent time in the Marines and felt that it taught him a lot about how to “take on any task or problem and solve it… you learn very quickly that there’s no challenge that can’t be accomplished.” After his time in the Marines, Gagne worked in global banking with currency trading for almost 20 years.

Gagne has worked in “just about every type of office environment for small scale offices to large scale trading floors” and many more. Gagne even worked at home for a while, sometimes at his kitchen tables and sometimes in a closed-door office. All these experiences gave Gagne the ability to understand and connect with anyone who seeks office space at Venture X.

He purchased his Venture X location because he wanted to get out of global banking and the strain it put on him with travel. Gagne felt that he just “needed a change.”

A business broker told Gagne about Venture X and he knew if he could just find the right location to open his own and make the change for his life he’d been craving.

Recently, Gagne was honored by the Marlborough Regional Chamber of Commerce as its 2020 “Business Person of the Year.”  Continuously striving for better, Ryan has successfully created business opportunities in every climb and place.

A constant problem solver with two decades of financial services and eight years of military experience, Ryan knows how to lead and how to find a solution, no matter the situation.
