In episode 49 of The Personal Side of Business, Jet Bunditwong sits down with Zach Christensen and Micah Parrish of Lifestyle Medical to explore the people, relationships, and decisions behind building their company in Logan, Utah.
Zach shares his leap into entrepreneurship, while Micah explains why he went from investing in the business to joining its team—and why he interviewed the company just as carefully as it interviewed him.
Together, they discuss:
• Hiring for humility, curiosity, and character.
• Turning an idea into a medical device with real patient impact.
• Moving forward without waiting for perfection.
• Finding mentors and staying open to feedback.
• Building a team where good ideas can come from anyone.
Whether you’re starting a business, leading a team, or wondering if you’re ready to take your next step, this conversation offers a reminder: meaningful progress starts with the right people and the willingness to keep learning.
