#78 Saving Your Buddies' Lives with Technology - Dr. Erik Won, Wave Neuroscience

Dr. Erik Won is the founder of Wave Neuroscience, a science based on his incredible background. A Navy veteran, Erik's parents were first generation Korean Americans and always had a deep appreciation of the US stood for in terms of opportunity. His patriotism was rewarded with serving in the Navy and have his education paid for as part of it. He interned at a Navy hospital, then went on tour on ships. He chose the aerospace unit and was then attached to a Marine squadron. He took care of an entire team of pilots, mechanics and admin people and enjoyed his time. Not a big risk taker by nature, Erik jumped into Wave Neuroscience while working with the test pilots. He had heard of the technology while in southern California and then spent a couple of years in due diligence. When he realized the technology could save potentially hundreds of thousands of lives, he felt compelled to bring the technology to market responsibly. The turning point was a friend who had been struggling with traumatic stress and got a complete turnaround using the technology. Nothing like a real life episode to drill in desire to succeed.
