Building Hardware to Strengthen Mind-Muscle Connection with Ethan Pollak

Fika Bytes: Tales of Hard Tech

✍️ Show Notes

Joining us this week is Ethan Pollak, co-founder of Pulse Device, a small nifty device that incorporates the idea of muscle tapping to help you get the most of your weightlifing workouts. Ethan quit his job in finance to go full-time on his idea, partnering with a design studio and building his network along the way. As a non-technical founder, he shares a lot of valuable insights into how he brought this hardware to life by being consistent, helpful, and always willing to learn.

🔑 Bytes:

  • Have a solid plan ahead of time, and don't expect overnight success.
  • Take a value-add approach to networking: Reach out to interesting people and always add value.
  • If you're a perfectionist and it's getting in the way of shipping your product, think of 5 everyday products that you (and millions around the world) use. You can probably think of a few things that need improvement right? So ship your product and then build upon it.
