Summary

From a young age, Eric Glader had the entrepreneurship bug. Today, he’s the co-founder and CEO of PowerDot, a connected muscle stimulator that you can operate at home to relieve pain, recover faster, and build muscle. For me, it’s been a piece to my full-body recovery puzzle for a while, up there with my Normatec boots and Theragun — both founders have also been on the show.

In episode 105, we dive into what electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) really is. Glader also shares the biggest lessons he’s learned running his own business, the importance of hiring good people and fostering community in the workplace, and a smarter way to tackle challenges that pop up — both personally and professionally.
