In this video, Entrepreneur Network partner Mars Discovery District speaks with Carlo Perez about when he realized he could achieve more than his current positions in tech. Today, Perez is the CEO of Swift Medical, which uses smartphone technology to scan the area around a wound and reconstruct the image into a digital, 3D model.

Perez recounts a particularly formative conversation when he was told to "do something better." These three important words drove him to find something that would invigorate him, eventually leading to where he is now.
