Show Notes:In this episode of Business Growth Spotlight, host Heidi Schalk sits down with Dr. Arlen Meyers, President and CEO of the Society of Physician Entrepreneurs, to explore the evolving intersection of medicine, business, and innovation.Dr. Meyers shares his journey from academic surgeon to medtech entrepreneur and explains why traditional medical training leaves a critical gap in business and entrepreneurial education.The conversation dives into the fundamental mindset shifts physicians must make to succeed in entrepreneurship, the realities of failure and iteration, and why innovation in healthcare requires more than just great ideas.They also unpack how marketing, sales, and community-building play a crucial role in scaling both businesses and missions, and why AI, while powerful, is not the silver bullet for fixing healthcare.Bio:President and CEO, Society of Physician EntrepreneursTo connect with our guest, click on the links below:LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/ameyers/YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/user/SoPEVideo/featuredWebsite:  https://www.sopenet.orgConnect with me:LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/heidischalkcoaching/🎁 Grab your Spotlight to Scale Blueprint:  https://spotlighttoscale.com/blueprint
