In this conversation, I sit down with my longtime friend Chris Paillet, a key figure at EMG, to explore the complex world of the medical device industry. Chris shares hard-earned insights on navigating market challenges, the power of feedback, and the importance of cultivating a strong company culture. Drawing from his entrepreneurial journey, he opens up about overcoming setbacks, the value of diverse perspectives in decision-making, and how criticism can fuel growth. We also discuss his personal evolution through therapy, the creative process behind podcasting, and why maintaining a positive mindset is essential when facing adversity. Throughout, Chris highlights EMG’s mission and its broader impact on the community and the healthcare system at large.
