Host Joe Licata sits down with Thomas Batton, Vice President of Sales at Omnia Medical, for a raw and inspiring look at what it really takes to succeed in medical sales.

This isn’t theory — it’s lived experience from the OR trenches to VP leadership. If you’re serious about building a career in medical device sales, you can’t afford to miss this conversation.
