What does success look like when money is no longer the goal?

In this episode of A Healthy Point of View, Sam Tejada sits down with entrepreneur and biotech investor Bob Duggan for a wide-ranging conversation about health, entrepreneurship, happiness, resilience, spirituality, lifelong learning, community, and creating a life worth living.

Bob shares lessons from decades of building businesses, investing, and helping advance technologies in healthcare. He takes Sam back to the early experiences that shaped his entrepreneurial mindset and explains why some of his greatest opportunities emerged from staying curious, taking responsibility, learning from failure, and remaining open to possibilities others might overlook.

But for Bob, success goes far beyond financial wealth.

He and Sam explore why overcoming challenges can create fulfillment, why the journey matters more than the destination, and why money alone cannot create happiness. Bob discusses the importance of sleep, nutrition, exercise, communication, spirituality, purpose, and continuing to learn at every stage of life.

The conversation also dives into technology, AI, education, medicine, community, religion, personal responsibility, and Bob’s philosophy that making a meaningful contribution to other people’s lives is one of the greatest measures of success.

At 82, Bob is still studying, learning, surfing, communicating, and looking toward what comes next. His message is simple: focus on your future success, keep learning, contribute to others, and keep going.

If you’ve ever wondered what decades of entrepreneurship can teach you about success, health, happiness, and purpose, this conversation offers a perspective shaped by a lifetime of experience.
