When I think about Elie Medawar, four ideas come to mind:

Behavioural flexibility
Leveraging strengths
Learning machine
Contagious enthusiasm

Elie started Medbox at a very challenging time in his life. There were red signals everywhere. He had just left his job, and he was about to become a dad. Everyone was dissuading him from starting his own business and saw it as a risky and crazy move. Yet, he took a leap of faith and made it happen anyway. Fueled by every challenge that came his way, driven by the purpose of saving lives, and for three years now, he’s been setting himself bold goals and overachieving them.

Some key questions I asked Elie in this episode:

15’24”: His approach in setting goals
18’17”: His managerial style

24’04”: What money is for him
24’55”: What leadership is for him
25’11”: Something crazy he did that not a lot of people know about
26’06”: Launching a business versus scaling a business
