Host Ron Rapaport talks with Arthur Lih, the founder, inventor and CEO of LifeVac, a patented choking-rescue device that has saved thousands of lives worldwide. After spending eighteen years co-building a highly successful logistics company, and in 2012 learning about the tragic death of a seven-year-old child choking on a grape, he was driven from retirement to find a solution without any knowledge of medical devices that could prevent choking deaths. Arthur is the author of "Sorry, Can't is a Lie", where he shares lessons from his entrepreneurial journey, personal setbacks and the mindset required to turn adversity into impact.   Sponsors:   Laszlo Suhajda, author of "Twelve Bells to Freedom"                    Sophia Demas, author of The Divine Language of                     Coincidence, How Miracles Changed My Life After I Began                    Paying Attention"                    TeleWellnessMD- Use link for 25% off first order                   https://telewellnessmd.com/?afmc=itsawrapwithrap   Links:        https://www.lifevac.net                 https://itsawrapwithrap.com
