Ep #100 - VAE is a pocket-sized caffeine spray designed to give you instant energy whenever you need it. Simply spray it on your tongue or energize your drink!   On this episode, we are joined by the Founder and CEO of Vae Labs, Orri Bogdan. VAE was designed for those times when coffee just isn’t convenient or available. No sugars, no calories, just energy. VAE is infused with a proprietary MatchaBrew™ blend that uses the key ingredients found in matcha green tea. Studies have shown that small caffeine boosts are not only healthier, but the best way to keep you alert and focused throughout the day.   In this episode, we go through the highs and lows of building an early stage business. Orri shares his challenges and wins, from selling tons of product, the bottles bursting, almost giving up and then an opportunity popping up that the team took full advantage of.

Ep #091 - Compare prices from real bills and save money with Clearity.   On this episode we are joined by the Founder of Clearity, Shankur Arul. Clearity started in its own efforts to take care of their families and they quickly realized that this was a problem much larger than them. Families across the United States are financially crippled under rising medical costs, insurance costs, and corporate healthcare. Clearity’s mission is summed up in one word: Transparency. For too long corporate healthcare and large insurance has been operating in the shadows. The only way for the public to hold them accountable is to lock arms together. Clearity is just that, a network of individuals working together to bring transparency and accountability to an industry that should be prioritizing families, not money. Affordable health is the cornerstone of society. They believe every family deserves great healthcare without having to worry about it being a substantial financial burden. Fair healthcare costs help open the door to better education, better families, and better lives.
