🚀 MTV MONDAY MORNING Spine MARKET Report. Q1 Earning reports are out and online. As we know, there is much more to any story than Stock price and EPS... this industry has never solely been about stock price and earnings. Like many things, just like your sales numbers - EARNINGS are a lagging indicator of ACTIVITY. Alphatec Spine is disrupting an archaic model and changing the Spine market. You cannot look at their growth, the culture, the people, the standing room only Lunch & Learn on PTP at AANS, or the 30-doctor dinners and just say... Stock price bad! That's not how this game works. - ATEC is a stallion at the top quadrant of the crazy hot matrix. - Sometimes it doesn't make sense. - Sometimes they shouldn't be able to gallop. - And yet, wild horses will run for days. Of course, ATEC isn't the only game and there are many more players at the Roundtable impacting other important and more significant Data - - Market Share - Growth - Leadership - Distribution These are the "pie charts" we at #MTV2 pay attention to. We talk to EVERYONE and we capture all the Data points. DATA POINTS - Who is using what? - What doctors are on which projects? - What rep or disty is moving? - Who's teaching what techniques? - How many of the top 10 users are consultants? - What is the #MESSAGING on LinkedIn, Social? - Where is the expected growth coming from? - How's their inventory and asset management? - How adept is the sales force to Nav, Robotics, Enabling? - How are the Open vs. MIS numbers? Still 80% open? - Not for long... You're not ripping up my back or anyone I know. - Even Deformity can be done MIS - find the right surgeon married with the right procedural solutions and the right OR team. WHO ARE THE OTHER PLAYERS: Orthofix / SeaSpine - dust settling from the merger / leadership. Massimo doesn't play around. He's exceptional. Leadership and culture is very solid here. Mike Hall, Shaeffer - Legit. Again, I was with them at AANS, IMAST. Team culture is fire. Medtronic just brought over some ELITE Market-moving Marketing leadership. Same team that built the Posterior Fixation market at NuVa. They will make an impact. They have budget. They have distributors. Sleeping giant just woke up. Stryker is not going anywhere. I've recently connected with Eric Major and look forward to getting to know him and the outlook on Spine. DePuy Synthes Spine is massive, poised for a run, hungry. They have Fantastic Doctors, who are all engaged. New product launch at IMAST was amazing. Watch out for the Red wave. Globus Medical - While MTV disagrees with the dissolving of a massive name and a brand in Spine - NuVasive, the foundation for Lateral Access. I realize we are biased, nostalgic and we don't call the shots. MTV was pleasantly surprised on our visit to Lusk Blvd. during IMAST. Arthrex - Darkhorse. They have Billions. Will they acquire a Spine company?

A new milestone! Broadcast on German TV about the use of blue light glasses. It is great to see a neglected niche topic into the wider public eye. We are happy and proud that the positive effects of blue light on health are finally being recognized in the mainstream media and are made accessible to a wider audience. - For better #sleep - For #nightshiftwork - Against #winterblues - In #elitesports against #jet-lag   Light and darkness determine our lives in every respect: Our biology is constructed and optimized according to the day-night rhythm.   Nowadays, however, it's not so easy to have REAL darkness at night and really get ENOUGH light during the day (according to estimates, we spend up to 90% of the day indoors !!!).   You shouldn't demonize blue light in general. It is the wrong timing of the blue light that makes us ill in the long term. At the same time, too little blue light is unhealthy as well.   If we don't manage to be outdoors enough (for professional and social reasons), there are intelligent gadgets and a patented innovation that can help.   So – together with Toine Schoutens the journey continues, with lots of education about #bluelight and #bluelightfiltering.   Join us on our further journey 🚀 🔵 🟠 😎 ********************* ➡️ Galileo „Das Wach-Duell“ / „Stay awake duel“ ➡️ May, 23rd 2024; 07:05 p.m. ➡️ Live on ProSieben oder anytime on joyn.

Concerned about potential memory loss? (Who isn't regardless of age? I'm looking at those of you who ride your bicycles without helmets in places like NYC.) Here are some tips via NPR https://lnkd.in/d-acQFRV #memory #workimprovement

A few years back, I joined Astra's Innovation Council, admittedly a little fearful of what the commitment meant. The group met once a week, and was made up of a true best-in-class cast of retailers, reps, manufacturers, and big thinkers. It was nimble, capable, and to my eyes... very intimidating. If Zoom would've allowed me to put an "Imposter Syndrome Sufferer" border around my video each week, I would've jumped at the chance. Fast-forward to this week, which is the first of our holiday break, where we forego our weekly meetings to allow everyone to focus on their families, businesses, and the big ideas within their own lives. And while I am glad that we give ourselves that chance, there's also no denying that I'm just plain bummed. Friday mornings will be different from now til January... quieter and calmer, maybe, but a whole lot less satisfying as well. And sadly, no amount of eggnog or candy cane creamer can change that. I ramble on to say that during a week full of 'thanks', I want to look beyond the creature comforts and thank all those (in my personal world and well beyond it) that trust themselves to know when and where to push someone out of their comfort zone. It's not quite a skill that can be easily communicated on a resume, but it's one we ought to celebrate far more often. #toyindustry #toys #gameindustry #games #committees
