80. Gilad Jacobs, CEO NormaTec
b'
\\u201cCall me G,\\u201d was the first thing Gilad Jacobs told me when I met him, and that\\u2019s pretty indicative of the kind of guy he is. Personable. Friendly. Also \\u2014 hardworking. For almost eight years now, Jacobs has been the CEO of Boston-based recovery favorite NormaTec \\u2014 best known for their Pulse 2.0 Recovery system, which hooks up to the big compression boots you see everywhere from NFL sidelines to the local physical therapist\\u2019s office. In episode 80, he talks to me about his late mother \\u2014 an MD and bio engineer who started the company \\u2014 and the special relationship they had. He gets honest about the #hurdlemoment of losing her, and how that changed his life forever both personally and professionally. We also touch on things like navigating being \\u201cnot-so popular,\\u201d and \\u2014 of course \\u2014 the benefits of compression.
