Better Recovery Starts With Good Sleep | Ep. 104 [Sam Jacobsak]

What happens when a frustrating personal recovery experience reveals a problem the healthcare industry has overlooked? On this episode of Industry Ignited , Dr. Leeanne Aguilar sits down with Sam Jacobsak, a former professional baseball player turned entrepreneur, to explore how his own shoulder surgery and struggle to sleep during recovery inspired him to build a solution designed around a real patient need. Sam shares his journey from athlete to entrepreneur, the development of the Shoulder Sleeper, and the importance of listening closely to customers when building and improving a product. He also discusses scaling operations, working with surgeons, expanding internationally, balancing B2B and direct-to-consumer growth, and the potential role of better sleep in improving recovery. Tune in for a conversation about patient-centered innovation, entrepreneurship, and why some of the best business opportunities begin with problems hiding in plain sight.
