Episode 45: Pain, Passion and Profit with Dr. Steve Sudell “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” – Benjamin Franklin We've got an entrepreneurial superstar joining us on the show today! Our guest will reveal his secrets to: Creating products that people love Raising $1+ million through crowdfunding, and Generating multiple 7-figure exits. That's right, he's done a LOT, despite still only being in his 30s.  Dr. Steve Sudell received his doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2009, and in an accomplished career he’s made it his mission to find non-invasive solutions to get people back to doing what they love. In 2015, he co-founded StretchLab, a revolutionary assisted-stretching facility that helps individuals improve their overall flexibility and well-being through stretching. Steve created the full range of stretching protocols that are still in use today, and also trained hundreds of practitioners – known as “flexologists” – in the process. With Steve’s expertise, StretchLab went from one location to more than 200 in less than four years. In 2019, Steve exited the company in a seven-figure deal. After watching his younger sister battle leukemia and suffer from extreme pain, Steve knew there were a lot more people who needed help. In 2017, to help the millions of people who suffer from chronic neck pain, he created the Neck Hammock. It arrived as the most affordable, portable, and effective ‘at home’ neck pain solution on the market. To fund the project, he launched two crowdfunding campaigns simultaneously that raised USD $1.6 million from 20,000+ backers, and landed in the top 1% of all Kickstarter campaigns. Since then, the Neck Hammock has been featured on The Dr. Oz Show, The Today Show, Forbes, and Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop. After grossing more than USD $20 million in sales, Steve had another seven-figure exit in January 2021. We cover a lot of ground in this one! You'll learn how to make your health a priority (no matter how hectic your schedule is), when it's time to exit your passion project, and exactly what it takes to make it in the business world in 2021. And remember, a little inspiration at the right time can completely change the trajectory of someone’s life, so if there’s a friend who needs to check out this interview, share it with them now.
