How an Accidental Inventor Built a Life-Saving Company — And What Business Owners Can Learn From Him
from Monday Morning Radio · host Dean Rotbart
People may not know his name, but regular viewers of cable news instantly recognize Arthur Lih and his ubiquitous commercials for LifeVac — the non-invasive rescue device designed to save choking victims when the Heimlich maneuver and other traditional methods fail. To date, his invention is credited with saving 5,450-plus lives. As Arthur shares on this week's edition of Monday Morning Radio, inventing a life-saving device is one challenge. Building a company around it and sustaining that business in a highly regulated, highly competitive environment is exponentially harder. Arthur's insights are indispensable for entrepreneurs, business owners, and inventors committed to developing products that matter — and companies that endure. Read Arthur's Book: Sorry, Can't Is a Lie: Life Stories of Decision-Making — Don't Be a Flat Squirrel. Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.
