The Million-Dollar Mistake Almost Every Founder Makes - Sanjay Shrivastava and Harry Sardinas

The Million-Dollar Mistake Almost Every Founder Makes - Sanjay Shrivastava and Harry SardinasSTOP chasing a million dollars. That's exactly why most entrepreneurs never make one. Money is the outcome of creating value—not the reason to build a business. In this episode, Sanjay Shrivastava, Founder and CEO of Innova Vascular, shares the mindset behind building innovations that solve real-world problems. His journey in MedTech proves that lasting success comes from improving lives, not obsessing over profits. Here's the truth: Businesses built around purpose create trust. Trust creates customers. Customers create sustainable wealth. If you're building a business, remember this: 🎯 Solve a problem people genuinely care about. ❤️ Build something you're proud to work on every day. 👥 Obsess over serving your customers better than anyone else. 🚀 Execute consistently instead of chasing shortcuts. 📈 Let value lead, and revenue will follow. The entrepreneurs who build the greatest wealth don't chase money—they create something the world can't ignore. That's how businesses endure. That's how fortunes are built.About the guest: A medical device entrepreneur and executive with 25+ years of experience in cardiovascular innovation.
