    Knowing vs. Doing as Medical Device Professionals

    John Kapitan, CEO of Kapstone Medical, joins host John Speer to discuss the gap between knowing and doing in medical device quality systems. Kapitan categorizes professionals into three buckets: the ignorant, the antagonistic, and the apathetic, arguing that quality is a mindset rather than just a compliance burden. He warns that pre-revenue startups often neglect quality documentation, which can severely damage valuation during M&A due diligence by strategic acquirers.
