Marc Cortez didn’t plan on becoming an entrepreneur.

But after nearly two decades building someone else’s company, a failed buyout attempt gave him a new perspective — and he launched Converge Medical Technologies from scratch.

Within 12 months, the company hit $4 million in revenue and $1 million in EBITDA.

In this episode, Marc shares:

• How to transition from employee to founder
• Raising capital the right way
• Designing a scalable sales model
• Leading through a 60% revenue loss
• Making tough decisions without losing your culture
• Building a logistics-heavy medical device business
• Why the right partners make or break a company

This conversation is a blueprint for founders navigating rapid growth, operational complexity, and unexpected pivots.

If you're building, scaling, or rebuilding — this episode delivers practical lessons from someone who’s done all three.
