In this episode, I dive into my love for Greek and Roman mythology, following up on my earlier discussion of Arete and its relevance for modern entrepreneurs. If you haven’t listened to that yet, go check it out first! But if you're ready to jump in, today I’ll be breaking down the myth of Prometheus—one of my favorites. This story is packed with powerful lessons for anyone looking to succeed at a high level in business and life.

Prometheus wasn’t just another Titan; he cared about humans and defied Zeus to bring fire to mankind. That bold move transformed civilization and showed us what it means to risk it all for the greater good. But it also shows us the consequences of standing up against powerful forces—something many of us face in the business world.

I share how Prometheus' courage and sacrifice are valuable metaphors for anyone looking to disrupt their industry and bring meaningful change. As an entrepreneur, you’ll face challenges, opposition, and people who don’t want you to succeed—just like Prometheus did. But if you care about making a difference, the struggle is always worth it.

I also touch on some personal stories, discussing how my business partner and I have faced unexpected obstacles while trying to transform the medical entrepreneurship space. If you want to learn more about building a company with integrity and breaking free from the status quo, this episode is for you.

Be like Prometheus. Be a disruptor. Care about people, and don’t be afraid to stand up to the “gods” in your industry. Let’s steal fire and change the world together.
