Finding opportunities in every challenge...

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:

• 3’54”: His relationship with time

• 10’27”: Using the skills he acquired in his 9 to 5 roles

• 14’06”: Creating a market that didn’t make sense on paper
  
• 15’24”: His approach in setting goals
  
• 18’17”: His managerial style
  
• 21’00”: The early-stage challenges he faced
  
• 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
  
• 31’33”: Where he finds his mentors
