Against the grain.
Courage in Action: Danielle Fette forges innovation with FetTech
Every week I ask my Brave New Girls podcast guest how they define courage. This week is my guest Danielle Fette faced a critical moment in her career when she and her husband were fired from a company that they had both really believed in. That tested her mettle and shaped her future. As she navigated the complexities of healthcare innovation with FetTech, her own words about courage resonate deeply:
"I define courage as tapping into something greater than me and listening to my emotions, even when they go against the grain."
Danielle's dual challenges were immense. Externally, she battled against entrenched medical systems and bureaucratic resistance to new ideas. Internally, she grappled with self-doubt and the fear of failure, common hurdles for pioneers in any field. Her journey was not just about fighting for acceptance in the medical community but also about maintaining her conviction in the face of adversity.
From her earliest days, Danielle was driven by a desire to heal and help. She wanted to break free from traditional and passive medical treatments and propel the industry forward using regenerative medicine. Her goal was to empower the body to heal itself more effectively, thereby changing patient care for the better.
Turning Point
The turning point came when Danielle and her husband decided to launch FetTech. This decision was fuelled by a need to create a platform where they could implement their vision without compromise, focusing on patient-first solutions rather than profit-first strategies.
The development of their FDA-cleared wound powder marked a significant breakthrough. This product could drastically reduce healing times and improve outcomes for patients with severe burns and wounds, a testament to the effectiveness of their regenerative medicine approach. The journey felt like a rollercoaster, but every successful patient case confirmed they were on the right path.
Danielle realized that true healing involves more than just medical science; it requires a deep understanding of and alignment with the body’s natural processes. This insight rekindled her childhood passion for helping others, reinforcing her belief in her methods and approach. Her experiences as a child, eager to aid anyone in distress, found a powerful expression in her adult achievements.
For listeners of the Brave New Girls podcast, Danielle's story underscores that courage is not just about bold actions but also about staying true to one's values and listening to one's inner voice. This approach can guide you to not only survive but thrive in challenging environments
Dare to do things differently, for the greater good.
