Cut to Fit: Turning a Medical Idea Into a Business

In this inspiring episode, Mike sits down with Nick Abbott, a driven nursing student turned medical product entrepreneur, to unpack how an everyday problem in dermatology sparked a business idea that became the Cut to Fit Bandage. With no formal business background, Nick shares his story of launching a medical product from scratch—from testing fabrics in dermatology clinics to navigating the hurdles of Amazon sales, branding, and product packaging.

Nick opens up about the challenges of competing with legacy brands like Band-Aid, and how he and his partner, Dr. Spencer Bezalel, leveraged their frontline experience in skin cancer surgeries to create a simple, customizable solution for wound care. Learn how Nick taught himself logistics, pricing, and marketing using books and YouTube—and how he’s turning risk into reward while growing a company from the ground up.
