From Military to Medical Sales: Learn How to Break Into the Industry

In this episode of the Medical Sales Podcast, Samuel Adeyinka sits down with Jason Brooks to unpack his journey from serving as a Navy hospital corpsman and working alongside Marines in Iraq to building a successful career across surgical devices, capital equipment, genetic testing, and biotech. Jason shares how his early medical training, military leadership experience, and business background helped him break into medical sales with Johnson & Johnson, what it took to navigate the interview process, and how one career changing offer reshaped his future. He also breaks down the differences between selling in the operating room and selling genetic testing into clinics and hospital systems, why reps need to understand stakeholders beyond the physician, and how culture, strategy, and persistence can define long term success in the industry. This episode is a must listen for anyone looking to break into medical sales, transition between specialties, or understand what it really takes to build a meaningful career in the field.
