“There’s a profoundly important problem to be solved... in terms of creating a product with DEMAND, electric aviation is the ideal solution.” 

George Bye, CEO, Bye Aerospace

The key topics I wanted to discuss with George were 1) the patience and perseverance required to create an entirely new aircraft, and 2) how he maintains his excitement for an aircraft that is designed as a 2-seat trainer when in his past, George flew fighter jets.  Both answers really speak to lessons of entrepreneurship which make this episode interesting and valuable! 

Dave Tabor, Host, PROCO360 podcast

This episode of PROCO360 was a lot of fun for me.  It reminded me of all the great guests I had during 2020 – guests I’d almost forgotten about in my eagerness to find and interview the next great one!  Mike did a great job editing together this show, weaving in excerpts from each guest, along with my answers to the most frequent listener questions.

Thomas Sandgaard, Chairman and CEO, Zynex Medical

Zynex’s main product line treats pain with FDA-approved electric stimulation that reduces the need for opioids in the marketplace.  Direct and understated, Thomas Sandgaard doesn’t seem at all impressed with his success.  His story of starting with $2,000 twenty-four years ago, and building that into a public company valued at half a billion is pretty impressive.  We discuss that, as well as Thomas’s transition from full-time CEO to a life that includes philanthropy, a UK football club, and a return to his rock-and-roll guitar roots.
