Welcome to another great episode of Entrepreneur's Enigma!
In today's journey, Seth Goldstein, our indomitable host, brings to the table a conversation steeped in valor, vision, and the trials of entrepreneurship.
We meet Sam Alaimo, a former US Navy SEAL turned co-founder of Zero Eyes—an AI gun detection startup determined to take a stand against the mass shooting crisis in America.
From the tough transition from military life to the academic rigor of an MBA at Columbia, Sam breaks down the skills that help SEALs become unstoppable entrepreneurs.
With vivid tales of training for the SEALs as a teen, his tours to Afghanistan, and the tense energy shift to entrepreneurship, Sam offers a powerful narrative of resilience and strategic thinking.
This episode peels back the tough exterior of military discipline to analyze the unrelenting pressure and constant innovation required in the business sphere.
So buckle up, as we dive into the world of a hero who faces an entirely new kind of mission—arming organizations against threats, one algorithm at a time.
