Disruptive innovation and the path forward w/ David Huizenga

There’s never an easy answer when it comes to product adoption, finances, or navigating a disrupted market.

But when the market’s as volatile as it has been lately, it can be downright scary. One of our core beliefs is that the more knowledge you have, the better decisions you will make.

David Huizenga has seen a lot. He’s worked in just about every industry that healthcare innovation touches, from biochemistry to financial backing to patents and solutions.

His unique experience and insight is a guiding light in the face of a growing storm.

In this episode, David speaks openly and candidly about the role COVID-19 has played in Moterum Technologies’ product launch, roll-out calendar, and how the company has had to conduct business over the past two months.
