Hungry to Learn
This week I am talking to Spencer Jones, RN Founder and CTO of Lineus Medical, maker of the SafeBreak Vascular device. Spencer started his journey as a Nurse but was frustrated with technology and solutions that were not delivering the best possible care. There is likely no clinician that is not familiar with the challenge of intravenous drips that fail or are pulled out by accident.
In the journey to developing a solution to this problem, Spencer discovered a number of key insights that were important to help stimulate innovation. these incremental learning points included
- The constant hunger for new knowledge and desire to learn
- Getting the right mentors
- Non-linear thinking
- Big value from Entrepreneur Support Organizations (ESO)

His watershed moment came when he had an opportunity that required him to break from his dual role of leading a startup company and working as a nurse to pay the bills.
