What actually happens after you sell a company for $1.1B and never need to work again?Joe DeVivo is a legendary MedTech CEO who sold InTouch to Teladoc in a $1.1B deal and is now President, CEO, and Chairman of Butterfly Network.Joe has a very specific reputation in the industry. He steps in when companies get stuck. Often at the moment when a founder-led business needs a different kind of leadership to scale. In this episode, Joe breaks down his turnaround playbook step by step, from how he diagnoses what’s broken, to who stays, who goes, and how focus gets restored.He also opens up about something that’s rarely talked about. What it really feels like after a massive exit. When the money hits, the anxiety leaves your body, and you realize you never have to work again. What does “post-economic” life actually look like, and why do some people still choose to come back?We also trace Joe’s path from growing up in a family-run manufacturing business to becoming the CEO boards call in moments of crisis, and why invention and scaling are fundamentally different jobs.LinksButterfly Network: https://www.butterflynetwork.comDr Mustafa Sultan: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.musty.io⁠
