Finding Genius Podcast

Alvaro Ramirez Founder and CEO of eHarvestHub joins Future Tech Podcast to share how his company is using blockchain technologies and cryptocurrency to change the way fresh food is distributed. Small farmers grow between 60 and 70% of the food that we eat, and independent owner/operator truckers move 90% of that production, yet, they make the least profits. food is expensive and inaccessible because it zig-zags 7 to 10 times before it makes it to the grocery store increasing in price each time it exchanges hands. These layers of middlemen leave little profits for the farmers and truckers who produce and transport our food and consumers paying higher prices for their food. eHarvestHub provides small fresh produce growers with a single affordable and easy-to-use cloud solution to manage their produce life cycle, from seeding to shipping.

Stem cells are quite literally the life line to everything we, as humans, are. They restore blood, bone, immune systems and other vital tissues and body systems. As we age the number and quality of our stem cells decreases. When we could most benefit from the use of stem cells, they are generally at their worst state within our bodies. Forever labs are the first company to bank young adult stem cells when they are in their best shape, to be used later in life when you need them to live a healthier and longer life. The procedure is simple. A Forever Labs certified technician performs a quick and easy outpatient procedure using a local anesthetic. The stem cells are then cryogenically frozen and then deposited into a clinical-grade biorepository until needed in the future. In this interview, we speak with Mark Katakowski, Co-Founder, President and Chief Science Officer at Forever Labs. He explains how they are revolutionizing the healthcare industry by using stem cells to be repurposed throughout your life to treat diseases, aging itself, and for other therapeutic uses.
