(05:27):
Phil Kraus and Sean Doherty.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Welcome to the show, superstars.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Thank you so much. Then it's a pleasure to be
on the show.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Phil.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
We're gonna start with basic things like zip bags, because
every year over one hundred billion plastic bags are tossed
in the US. I mean, if you think of it
and put that into perspective, that's enough to circle the
planet seven hundred times. And even worse, they're latent with chemicals, palates,
endocrime destructors. I mean that leaches into our food, including
those BPAs. Those are extremely toxic, not to mention microplastics
(05:57):
found in breast milk.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
Urine, even brain tissue.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Now klonomics composed of ale zip bags, they've swored in popularity.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
So what's finally clicking with consumers?
Speaker 5 (06:07):
When you just look at the stats released by EPA,
ninety one percent of the plastic y recycle doesn't even
get recycled. It just gets thrown out into additional garbage bins. Right,
Only like four to nine percent of the plastic we
put in that blue band at home actually makes it
and becomes recycled. It's just a huge problem. Not only that.
(06:28):
You know, as you said, one hundred billion plastic bags
are being used per year. That is around like one
bag per person in the United States every day, and
it's obscenely wasteful. Right, So we're using billions of bags.
Ninety one percent of it never gets recycled. It's going
into landfills, it's going into.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
The ocean, into our bodies.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Into our bodies. Like, don't even get me started on
the chemicals. I mean, the thalates that you're mentioning in
the BPAs are all linked to these terrible things like
lowering testosterume and men. Right, you can see there was
a study they did in the Boston Bay area in
nineteen eighty four where they just took the entire population
(07:11):
of men in that area, measured their testosterum levels, and
they took another test twenty years later, and it seemed
like there's been a generational decline in testosterone and it's
like twenty five percent decline over twenty year period, and
it's all linked to endocrine disruptors and those those chemicals
(07:31):
there are.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Thalates, forever chemicals.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Forever chemicals. Stalates is essentially added to plastic to make
it flexible. So think like shampoo bottles, like conditioners. This
type of stuff thalate makes plastic bendable and flexible. Right,
And just having like nanograms, it's not even much, right,
it's not even grams. It's nanograms. Could affect your testosterone,
(07:56):
affect your ferti fertility in women, it's affect dean lowering
the quality of eggs.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
And it's just it's definitely all inter length and it's
powerful knowing something as every day as sandwich bag can
carry so much impact. And I love that you've kept
the function and convenience minus the underlying toxins.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
So kudos to you, my friend.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Now, Sean, I'm going to pivot to you on Clinomic
and scaling mission brands. Your playbook of scaling iconic consumer
products is truly legendary. People who don't know you should
know you. So what made you align with brands like
Clinomic and how does your global tech brand strategy translate
into building clean, living consumer products.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I definitely think it's just a change in a chapter.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Right.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
I look back at you, know, the juice packed days,
and I'm not necessarily proud of all of the batteries
I've put in the landfills in retrospect, we need to
take care of ourselves. We put in on and around
our body, and it needs to be clean and toxic free.
Whether it's you know, the old days of MOPHI and
the European Union with EMF coming to that realization way
(09:03):
before we did. We just seem to be really behind
the times, and it's hurting us, and it's hurting the
people we love, it's hurting our pets, and it's hurting
our planet. And Klinomic is a perfect candidate to help scale.
I think the world needs the product. I think the
advocacy of the product is great, and I think it's
having a huge global impact.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Now, Phil, I'm going to talk about earth wash laundry
strips versus our traditional detergent. The US has seven hundred
million plastic detergent jugs alone hit land fills annually. Okay,
that's enough plastic to circle the Earth five times. And
most conventional detergents while nearly ninety percent water packaged in
bulky jugs in need of disposal.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
So earthwash offers.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
That lightweight, dissolvable strip from cardboard instead of jugs, which
I love how do they perform compared to traditional detergents,
and how do they protect sensitive skin and allergy own families.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
You know what sets earth wash apart from everything else
is it's all made with natural earth ingredients. It's a
plant based enzyme formula. So we dehydrate literally a sheet
of soap, and it just makes it way more convenient. Right.
We can mail it directly to your door, and it
weighs like half a pound, and you can get months
(10:22):
with laundry just using these little paper sheets traditional detergents,
As you said, it's ninety percent water, ten percent soap.
I mean alternative laundry formats like the tide pods. Those
films that hold all the soap together and in tiepod
don't fully decompose, and they're actually getting flushed through your
washing machine into the ocean essentially, so it's still contributing
(10:47):
to plastic waste. Earth wash it comes into cardboard packaging,
it's one hundred percent recyclable, and it's just the most
convenience and healthiest thing you can do for your body.
It's kind of a wind wind on every single battlefront
if you look at it from that perspective.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
So Sean.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Let's talk brand strategy and long term vision. So handling
consumers better options without overwhelming them, that's essentially society brand
secret sauce. You've said clean living should feel like an upgrade,
not a burden many times. So what's your long term
vision for society? How do you plan to expand this
clean living portfolio beyond zip bags and laundry strips and
(11:26):
leave a lasting cultural legacy. You already have some incredible
companies under the hood, but talk to me about what
the roadmap looks like.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
There's a lot of opportunity for product innovation.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
I mean, we can just go into our homes and
look at everything that comes in and these big boxes
taking up this huge global carbon footprint, and one by
one you'll see Silicon Valley based new product introductions coming
out from Klinomic that really set it apart. And we
hope to become the household solution to cleaning and safe
(12:00):
products for your family, your children, your pets, and for
our planet.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
And with your leadership, that future feels not just possible,
but imminent because you've clearly paved the way so and a.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
Lot of that feedback comes from our consumers, and that's
no different than Mophi, right, I mean, yeah, we did
a lot of product innovation, but it was often it
just brought to us by multiple repairts, requests, requests from
our very loyal consumers, and so at Society brands, we
like to listen.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
To our consumers and let us let them help us
guid our way. Yeah no, and you're doing exactly that now, Phil.
We touched on some of the other health risks earlier, but.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Beyond waste in landfills, the health risks of plastic bags
are real. Americans may ingest the equivalent of I mentioned
this earlier, credit cards worth of plastics and microplastics weekly,
and they've been detected in breast milk and placentas and
even brain tissue, which is just really alarming when you
(13:01):
think of those numbers are staggering. So what are the
hidden health costs of using these traditional zip bags for
food storage?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Right?
Speaker 4 (13:09):
It's one thing to put markers in them, and we're
killing the planet doing that, But how does clinomic solution
guard users, especially kids and families.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
You're right, and this is this is a touchy top topic, right,
so just to highlight that once again, Like according to WWF,
twenty nineteen study, the average American is ingesting one credit
card worth a plastic a week, so like over the
course of a year, Like could you actually imagine eating
fifty credit cards or their plastic, Like it's obscene, it's obscene,
(13:40):
and you're getting this all from you know, plastic leaking
into your food. Essentially, right with Klinomic, what we have
done is you said, like, okay, you can still have
your convenience and you don't have to worry about all
those hall risks because it is a plant based material
and it has a biomatrix formula that basically, once you
throw those bags away from Kleinomic, they go to landfills
(14:04):
and they break down within one hundred and eighty days.
And that formula that we've made the material with it
breaks it actually breaks down into a nutrient rich fertilizer,
and so it actually promotes health in the soil. So
instead of you know, poisoning yourself with plastic and contributing
to this super bad environmental crisis that's going on, you
(14:25):
can kind of just win on all situations. There we
touch health.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Powering because now we can choose to swap in safety
without sacrificing convenience and we're doing something.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Positive for the planet.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
So let's chat storytelling and brand differentiation. So Clinomic isn't
just another green brand, right, It's sleek, it's accessible, it's
direct to consumer and rooted in smart storytelling, which is
very important. How do you position Clinomic Sean differently from
typical eco brands and how critical is narrative in making
(14:57):
clean living resonate with modern shoppers.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Consumers need to be educated.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
Every product requires some form of education and this education
is just so natural and I and and I just
think it's it's you know, me educating you, you educating
your audience, you know, letting people you know, become familiar
with the product. They'll educate the people that they love.
(15:24):
And just shouting from the rooftops, Hey, guys, I think
we all deserve better and the planet is our responsibility.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Yeah, without a doubt.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Now, Phil, traditional detergents often come with dyes, within with
parabins and phosphates and basically common irritants, and combined with
jugs that clogg cabinets and generate waste. It's just inefficient
and outdated. I'm going to stress this again. So how
does earthwash deliver that performance on par or better than
(15:52):
big brand detergents. And why is it better suited for
allergy sensitive households?
Speaker 6 (15:58):
What makes what makes.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
The ingredients so powerful to cut through stains but yet
so eco friendly?
Speaker 5 (16:05):
I know, I want to challenge the Americans listening to
this to flip around their detergent and read off the
ingredient list on traditional detergents on the household brands. There's
names in there and that you cannot even pronounce, Like
it's so complex with the zides and all these nasty
chemicals they're putting in detergent just because it's the cheapest
(16:29):
effective way to get the product out. It all goes
back to earth WASH's formula. It's all plant based enzymes,
and you know our consumers can speak for like the
proof is in the pudding. You can see we have
like over fifty thousand and five reviews on earth Wash.
People are getting the same exact effectiveness without having to
(16:51):
sacrifice any of the convenience, without putting all those dangerous
chemicals and their laundry. So the proof is in the pudding.
It's one of our most loyal products on Earthwash. Once
people try it, they don't want to stop.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
While we are at the end of our date.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
My dear friends, Phil, was a pleasure getting to know
you you are. I'm so excited to see where you're
going to take this and I'm I have no doubt
in my mind that with you behind the leadership and

Speaker 3 (19:09):
Welcome back, beautiful Tri State Area. You're listening to a
Moment of Zen.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Right here on seven ten WAR, the Voice of New
York iHeartRadio.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
I'm your host, Zenzam's. You're listening to the WePlay It
Forward series. Here on a Moment of Zen.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
And today's headline is saving soldiers and saving minds from
battlefield to breakthrough. It's a conversation about how cutting edge
brain science is rewriting the story of America's veterans.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
Here's why this matters.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Every day in the US, more than twenty veterans die
by suicide. It's a devastating reality, often linked to invisible
wounds like traumatic brain injury what they call TBI, post
traumatic stress disorder PTSD you've all heard that, and toxic exposures.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Studies also show that nearly one in.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Three combat veterans combat veterans report PTSD symptoms, and upwards
of forty percent of those exposed to last injuries or
burn pits develop long term neurological dysfunction.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Now joining me is doctor Philip Defina.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
He's a neurophysiologist and cognitive neuroscientist with over forty years
of experience advancing brain therapeutics. He served as Associate Professor
of Neurology and Psychiatry at NYU School of Medicine and
Bealvue Hospital, and today leads programs like Save a Soldier
and the Veteran's Advanced Care Program. These initiatives provide drug free,
(20:28):
multimodal treatments that research shows can restore brain function up
and up to eighty six percent of traumatic brain injury patients.
That's a huge number, results that far surpassed conventional care.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Here to break it all down is doctor Defina. Welcome
to the show, Superstar.
Speaker 9 (20:44):
Thank you, thank you for having me today.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
So let's start with the crisis.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
The Department of Veteran Affairs reports an average of sixty
four hundred veterans suicides annually, with brain injuries and PTSD
being the major contributors. So for many the standard treatments
medication and talk therapy aren't enough. Right, your program approaches
brain health in a radically different way. So can you
(21:08):
walk us through what makes the Save a Soldier protocol
quite unique?
Speaker 9 (21:12):
The brain is electrical, it's magnetic, it's chemical, and in
order to really reset and reorganize mechanisms of brain functioning,
we look at all those three parameters. So we do
a specialized assessment of the electrical system, the magnetic system,
the chemical system of the brain. We do specialized types
(21:36):
of neuropsychological testing in addition to specialized brain mapping. So
in the brain mapping, for instance, we look at the
electrical circuits. Those electrical circuits have three parameters that we review.
One has to do with the power of the signal,
the speed of the signal, and how the signal integrates.
(21:58):
So once we understand the strengths and weaknesses in electrical
brain signal processing, we're able to reboot or reorganize the
brain by using electrical stimulation and various other techniques like neurofeedback,
et cetera to be able to reorganize these electrical circuits.
(22:19):
When we reorganize reorganize the electrical circuits, it actually regulates
the magnetic field and those processes help to balance the
chemistry in the brain.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (22:31):
So yeah, so it's a different process. It's a unique
way of looking at how we diagnose. But we also
use the same methodology of electrical magnetic stimulation and the
use of nutraceuticals and other neurotherapies to treat these individuals
as well.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Wow, so you offer a thirty day all inclusive program
that includes hyperbaric oxygen therapy, brain mapping, neurofeedback IV detox.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
And even light and sound therapy.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
I mean for listeners who may not be familiar with
the science, can you break down how these therapies actually
rewire or repair the brain.
Speaker 9 (23:08):
Over the years, there have been many articles I produce
research and has been researched around the world that shows
how effective hyperberic oxygen is in reducing inflammatory processes to
help promote brain functions, increasing neurons, neurogenesis, increasing blood vessels, angiogenesis,
(23:28):
being able to improve mesenchymal stem cells in your body. So,
hyperic oxygen has multiple components which help regulate the electrical
and magnetic systems of the brain. Inflammatory processes, as I
talked about before, is a major issue with traumatic brain
injury with psychological conditions like post traumatic stress. Being able
(23:53):
to regulate these activities is really seen clinically in many
different things, reducing stress, increasing sleep. We actually give our
military personnel two ninety minute sessions, one in the morning
and one at the end of the day, and in
the interim they've given many neurotherapies, electrical stimulation, magnetic stimulation,
(24:17):
lighten sound therapies, neuro feedback, specialized kinds of customized nerve
feedback protocols. So being able to combine multiple modalities simultaneously
is a much better regimen than trying to use a
medication with minimal main effect and lots of side effects,
(24:40):
and over time the main effects diminish and the side
effects become greater. So we're doing something where we're naturally
looking to reboot the body's own electrical, magnetic, and chemical
system without providing a drug that would substitute something but
yet has a lot of other side effects.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Exactly, So I want to move on to something extremely important.
Our veterans are often exposed to these toxic environments right
burn pits, chemicals, heavy metals, and a study in them
Jama Jam and Neurology found that neurotoxin exposure increases the
risk of long term cognitive impairment by nearly fifty percent. Right, So,
how does your program specifically adjust these toxic exposures?
Speaker 3 (25:23):
That so many veterans carry home for more.
Speaker 9 (25:26):
Okay, well, there are different types of nutraceuticals that we use.
There are various kinds of ivy infusions, glut to thione,
and various things that cleanse the liver. There are certain
things that cleanse the kidneys. So we use certain natural
nutraceutical products, certain herbs. Proper diet, proper sleep, and proper
(25:52):
exercise are all important in getting rid of toxins. It's
not one thing. It's a combination of things that are
utilized together. And by doing that in a systematic way,
with good hydration, good nutrition, the ability to select the
appropriate types of herbs and nutrients that naturally detoxify the
(26:14):
body is extremely important.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
You've built not just a treatment, but a holistic experience. Housing, meals, transportation,
and pure counseling. I mean, we know that social support
can cut suicide risk nearly in half. Right, So why
was it so important for you to make this program
fully immersive and all inclusive.
Speaker 9 (26:33):
Well, it's really important. You know, veterans coming individually have
a different experience than when who's a group process. So
we try to bring in six to twelve veterans at
one time they interact with each other. We pay for
their transportation, we pay for their hotels, and during that
time they make connections with each other. Many of them
(26:56):
have experienced the same things. It's really good cathartic release
to be able to interface with people who have had
similar kinds of issues. So during that month they develop friendships,
they develop a support system amongst them. They're all going
through it together at the same time, so having that
group philosophy of utilizing that methodology as opposed to independently
(27:22):
assessing and treating someone is much more important. The connections
they make with each other are very powerful. The fact
that they're all going through it together is very supportive
to each other, and seeing the changes in themselves as
well as the new friends they've made, is a very
reinforcing component to what's going on.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Absolutely, healing isn't just clinical, it's relational. And what really
stands out is that the Save a Soldier program is
completely free of charge. Right that's number one to veterans
in their families and with healthcare costs often cited as
one of the biggest barriers to care. How are you
making this possible and what's your vision for scaling it nationwide.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
I mean, what have you done here?
Speaker 9 (28:06):
Well, we treat over four hundred veterans and the costs
can run anywhere between thirty to forty thousand dollars for
the month because of all the different methodologies you're using,
all the staff that's involved, it's a big process. So
what we do is we don't want veterans to be
stressed by not being able to have a service because
(28:28):
they can't afford it. So this is done for free.
They deserve that they served our country, they protected our country.
I'm a veteran, my daughter's a fourth generation military officer,
ourself is currently an active duty and so is a husband.
So this is a whole family thing of four generations
of military and my family. We're part of the one
percent that served. That's a statistic that most people are
(28:51):
unaware of. So it's only one percent of the population
that serves. And what happens is when you're in the military,
especially of the last several decades, due to the limitation
of resources, people are constantly sent back and forth to
do multiple tours of duty on very stressful situations, with
(29:13):
very little times in between to reset and reorganize themselves.
And these stress ores contribute to the entire process. So basically,
we have limited amounts of personnel that do many, many
tours of duty under very stressful conditions and are exposed
as you said before, the toxins, the various forms of
(29:34):
traumatic brain injury, the various forms of stress that create
post traumatic stress. And people don't realize it's not only
when they're on a mission that they can be exposed
to danger that creates brain injury and post traumatic stress.
The training process is so intense. There are many, many
(29:55):
injuries during training, So it's the entire process of the
years of multiple traumatic brain injuries, concussions, exposure to various
stress or as, toxins, et cetera that accumulate over time
and then create devastating kinds of effects which result in
these high suicide rates and these and the inability for
(30:16):
them to really function well within society.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Yeah, that's extraordinary. I mean, eliminating costs completely.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
It reminds me of the phrase no veteran left behind
right and scatering and scaling this nationwide could truly rewrite
how we as a country fulfill our promise.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
To those who served.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
So uh and the fact that your your entire family
is embedded, makes it even more impactful. Now, doctor Defina,
you've dedicated over four decades to brain research, in clinical
innovation and clinical innovation. So with everything you've seen, what
gives you the most hope right now for the veterans
struggling in silence.
Speaker 9 (30:49):
By improving the veteran, you're helping the family, So you're
you're helping the family, which is how which is such
a critical component because oftentimes families get broken apart. There's
a lot of separation with military veterans and their wives, etc.
Due to all these stress soords. So by helping the veteran,
we help the family, and by helping both, we're helping
(31:12):
our nation because we want to keep a strong military.
That's the premise behind what we're doing. The way we
do it is we have a five oh one C three.
We get a lot of contributions from people to try
to help the military, various grants, etc. We're trying to
increase this program by getting the word out to the
public so that they understand that all the moneies that
(31:34):
he used are directed specifically to our veterans to help them.
And we have so many that showed the incredible changes
in their life which are amazing. We do an interview
when they first join us, and then we do a
post exit interview, and you can see a tremendous amount
(31:56):
of change within a thirty day period which they've never
experienced before by simply taking medication and doing some intimate
and psychotherapy.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
That warms my heart.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
And I love that you capture those testimonials because proof
is in the pudding. Seeing is believing, and people do
judge a book by its cover. So if you do
have that incredible testimony from that incredible combat veteran whose
life got transformed via your program, you captured lightning in
a bottle.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
If you do that more than once, your roland. So
I think you're good.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
I think you got so much going on, and I'm
so excited, so eager to help in any way I can.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
It's a moving note to end on.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
Your work is not just saving lives, it's restoring futures.
And that's the very definition of what this segment is
called playing it forward.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
So thank you so much for joining us today, thank you.
Speaker 9 (32:44):
So much for the questions, and I appreciate the opportunity
to get the word out to others.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
Welcome back, beautiful Tristate Area live from the iconic new
Exchange Right here at Fintech TV, we.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Have such an exciting guest joining us today for the
Fintech CEO Spotlight.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
The financial world continues to evolve at breakneck speed, from
artificial intelligence and digital transformation to regulatory shifts and global
market recalibrations. It's never been more critical to spotlight the
leadership behind some of Wall Street's most dynamic institutions. Today,
I'm joined by Sagerscheck. He's the chief executive officer at
Roth Capital Partners. With over two decades in the financial sector,
(36:22):
Sager has held leadership roles at ubs, Deutsche Bank, and
most recently MCAM Partners, where he served as CEO prior
to its acquisition by Roth in twenty twenty three. Now
at the helm of Roth, he's driving vision, scale and
culture across all business lines, expanding the firm's market footprint
and deepening investor trust in a volatile climate.
Speaker 10 (36:42):
Welcome to the show as your Pristyle, Thank you so much.
Appreciate the intro.
Speaker 11 (36:46):
And by the way, what a dynamic environment here at
the New York Stock Exchange.
Speaker 10 (36:49):
Kind of reminds me why I started my career on
Wall Street.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
It was for this and this is where it all happens,
all right, So let's dive in. According to a PWC's
twenty twenty four CEO survey, nearly forty five percent.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Of CEOs believe their companies will not be.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
Economically viable in ten years if they continue on their
current path.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
And yet, leadership.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
Isn't just about adjusting the numbers. It's about building trust, culture,
and long term value. So, Sager, how are you personally redefining.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
What it means to be a CEO.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
In this rapidly shifting environment and how does that translate
to the way Roth Capital is navigating today's market realities.
Speaker 10 (37:26):
Yeah, no, it's a great question.
Speaker 11 (37:27):
And you know, one thing I'll say is one of
the beautiful things about Roth is there's such a rich
history at the firm that has worked successfully for so long,
thirty to forty years that this company has been around.
So I want to run part of the playbook that
I've learned from Byron Wrath and my colleagues, where it's
an investment bank, we really depend on our relationships.
Speaker 10 (37:46):
We are a relationship based firm.
Speaker 11 (37:48):
I do think that part of the playbook will go
on indefinitely in the future. However, I think to not
factor in the use of technology and the evolving landscape
of AI into some of our business practices would.
Speaker 10 (38:00):
Be a mistake. So what are we doing as a
firm to prepare for that.
Speaker 11 (38:03):
We are evaluating so many different types of software systems ways.
Speaker 10 (38:08):
To make our employees better.
Speaker 11 (38:09):
But I'll tell you one thing, My fundamental bet is
still on the human capital of Wall Street and a
human capital of Roth, meaning I believe the technology is
going to make the humans.
Speaker 10 (38:20):
Better at what they do.
Speaker 11 (38:21):
I am not worried about my employees being replaced by
a robot or by AI. I just think they are
going to be superhumans with these tools.
Speaker 4 (38:28):
That's such a refreshing take on leadership and balancing that foresight.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
With grounded execution.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
And I love what you just said about responsibility being
more than just fiduciary.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Right, It's evolving with the times. It's cultural, it's strategic,
and it's deeply human.
Speaker 4 (38:41):
And I think if you are afraid of the advancements
in technology and.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
You operate from a place of fear, that's going.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
To trickle right down to every last one of your
key players.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
So I love that you're embracing all this change.
Speaker 5 (38:52):
That's right.
Speaker 11 (38:53):
And I think you know one of the best examples
I can give about the human being more valuable still
than the row in our opinion is that when volatility hits,
So when we have a big tweet from anybody and
the markets move, our clients want to talk to.
Speaker 10 (39:10):
That human on the other end of the line.
Speaker 11 (39:12):
I do think the AI will help us, Maybe it
helps prepare us with data and analytics information, but at
the end of the day, our clients still want that
human touch.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
Now, what's the shift and pivot inside the modern investment bank?
So Rod Capital has long been known for its focus
on high growth sectors from biotech to emerging tech, but
what's often overlooked is the human infrastructure that makes it
all scalable, which is what we're talking about now. In fact,
McKinsey reports that firms with high talent integration outperform competitors
(39:41):
by up to twenty five percent in OROE. So, since
Rod's acquisition of MKM Partners, can you talk to me
about what's been the drive behind your focus with these
sectors that you're investing in.
Speaker 10 (39:56):
Yeah, so you touch on a lot of things.
Speaker 11 (39:57):
One I'll say, even before I get into the sector,
it is development of human capital is a key part
of the playbook at Wroth, meaning we want our employees
to get smarter every day, so we surround them with resources,
tools and data to make them smarter, to give them
more information.
Speaker 10 (40:13):
To develop their careers and their skill sets.
Speaker 11 (40:15):
If we do that, we'll hopefully provide better services and
to our clients.
Speaker 10 (40:19):
But in terms of the sectors that we focus on
and how we.
Speaker 11 (40:23):
Come up with that will one If we just look
at any given company, are the fundamentals of the company
solid and can we help make them more solid?
Speaker 3 (40:30):
So before I.
Speaker 11 (40:31):
Even make any dive into one given sector or industry,
it's really about fundamentals of a company. We have views
and those views will change over time of where we
want to place our bets. Is it healthcare, is it technology?
Is it industrials? Is it sustainable investing? But the bottom
line is as an investment bank, we look for fundamentally
sound companies that we can showcase for our clients.
Speaker 10 (40:50):
And that's the bottom line.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
Now, it's a shot why relationships still drive results.
Speaker 3 (40:55):
So in a world driven.
Speaker 4 (40:56):
By data and digital acceleration, it's easy to forget that
relationships still moved capital. In fact, Harvard Business Reviews stud
he found that nearly ninety percent of investment decisions at
the executive level are still driven by trusted personal networks. So,
as someone who's operated across both bulge bracket and boutique environments,
how have you preserved the relationship first Ethosts long defined
(41:19):
Wroth and why does that still matter to you?
Speaker 9 (41:21):
One?
Speaker 11 (41:21):
Internally that the way the firm is kind of structured.
Everybody collaborates together. There is a spirit of entrepreneurship, but
there's definitely the element of teamwork and everything we do,
and I think the merger with a trading firm kind
of shows that, and it showcases that that the founder
of our firm, Byron Roth, he really felt that, hey,
can I bring on more talent, more people in order
(41:43):
to make everybody a bit more productive and a bit better.
And I think there's been a showcase on that. So
it would be remissed not to speak to each other
at the firm because you're missing out on different products
and services. That said, when it comes to the clients,
we also use technology to help us with our relationships.
We've made massive firm investment into a CRM system and
advanced CRM systems. So now my average salesperson instead of
(42:06):
making twenty five phone calls can get an outreach to
one hundred phone calls in a given day because.
Speaker 10 (42:11):
Of the CRM system.
Speaker 11 (42:12):
But at the end of the day, the CRM is
just better connecting us to our clients, keeping us better
informed about our clients, showing us changes in their portfolio,
showing us showing us changes with their holdings and where
where they're focusing on, and I think that allows us
to service them better. So for us, clients are still
the number one focus, but we'll just use technology to.
Speaker 10 (42:32):
Help us with that.

Tune into a Moment of Zen Saturday nights from nine
to ten. I am on seven ten woor the voice
of New York.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
Welcome back, beautiful Tri State area.
Speaker 4 (43:05):
You're listening to a Moment of Zen right here on
seven to ten war the voice of New york iHeartRadio,
I'm your host Zenzam's. In the Brain Blueprint Express segment, Joanniscrelli,
the mother of three neurodivergent children, shares her life changing
journey with world renowned brain researcher and clinician doctor Robert
Milillo and his Mililo method.
Speaker 12 (43:25):
My journey with autism started on July twenty third, twenty fourteen.
My second son, at that time I only had two children,
was diagnosed.
Speaker 13 (43:35):
As profoundly autistic.
Speaker 12 (43:37):
He was two, and we had tried everything under the sun.
We went to so many different doctors all over the
US and internationally.
Speaker 14 (43:46):
We were, I could say, desperate to try to bring
him to what we thought would be typical, what we
felt that he was originally before age two, and also
to give my oldest son, was only a year and
a half older, a brother that he can interact with.
Speaker 3 (44:04):
We did try brain balance.
Speaker 12 (44:06):
We tried to go there and get evaluated when he
was four, which was in twenty sixteen, but he was
too severe to be.
Speaker 3 (44:12):
Taken in at that time, so we kind of let
it drop.
Speaker 13 (44:16):
And so that's of course part of the Malila method.
Speaker 12 (44:19):
We read the book Disconnected Kids back in twenty sixteen,
but again we were told he was too severe, so
we moved on. We tried other doctors, other therapies. I
had a daughter a few years later, and then fast forward,
I had Julian, my youngest, in twenty eighteen, so two
years later, three years later, he's now diagnosed as perhaps
(44:40):
moderately to if not severely, autistic. He was about three
years old, there was no speech, and then my husband
took it upon himself to start to research doctor Melilo specifically,
and he found that there's an office that's about an
hour and a half to two hours from our home.
So we started with Julian, started the Malila method. We
(45:00):
persevered every single day, twice a day, we came here
to the office for a full week intensive therapy with him,
and within two months I have a video of Julian
bringing me my car keys and telling me he wanted
to go to my mother's house in a full sentence,
which was just completely.
Speaker 13 (45:21):
Unusual for him. And then from there on out.
Speaker 12 (45:25):
It was just improvement after improvement. The speech flourished, he
started to have a connection with us to ask questions,
and after a full year and again another intensive, another
week intensive with doctor Malilo. Thinking twenty twenty end of
twenty twenty three or beginning of twenty twenty four, he
gets evaluated by the school district.
Speaker 13 (45:45):
And he's now in a genet class with Henrik.
Speaker 12 (45:47):
It's been certainly more of a struggle. However, we stopped
all of the therapies. We keep a very clean diet.
We have focused on the Malilo method, and I have
seen again baby steps. And I think it's because he
was eleven when we started, but I have seen baby
steps of improvement, more eye contact, more willingness to listen
(46:11):
without having sibs laughing at things that the families laughing
at that, you know, we thought he was never aware of,
like jokes, or trying to play with Julian Moore, trying
to play with Lena Moore. Of course, my oldest son
is super patient with him because they were the two
together the longest, but there's certainly more of a connection
(46:33):
with his siblings.
Speaker 13 (46:34):
He's also more willing to read books.
Speaker 12 (46:36):
He'll pick out, you know, books that are fourth fifth grade,
sixth grade appropriate about the American Revolution or anything like that,
and he'll sit there and he'll read it.
Speaker 13 (46:45):
And we really feel that he's starting to understand a
lot more. His piano playing has just.
Speaker 3 (46:52):
It's become phenomenal.
Speaker 13 (46:54):
I can't teach him.
Speaker 12 (46:55):
I was a teacher myself, but he sits there and
he just plays these amazing pieces that I don't know
where he's getting this talent from, but it's fun to watch,
and I do believes it's partially because of the Malilo method.
And then my daughter, who is also a patient here
with doctor Mlilo, has a left brain deficit. She wears
(47:15):
the red glasses, and initially before we started two years ago,
she was very socially unaware, had a lot of issues
with kids in her class for a long time. She's
just finished fourth grade now, but from kindergarten through third grade,
I mean didn't really have many friends, you know. I
would get calls from parents in schools that she's just very.
Speaker 13 (47:34):
Handsy or doesn't listen. Her grades were way below average.
Speaker 12 (47:39):
But again not autistic, not diagnosed autistic like the boys,
certainly different kind of handicap, if you will. But as
we did the Malilo method with her as well, so
we do with all three children twice a day, I
have seen her grades improve tremendously. She went from a
way below average student just slightly below average, if not average,
(48:02):
and slightly above average in some of her testing.
Speaker 13 (48:06):
She's more socially aware.
Speaker 12 (48:07):
She certainly keeps her hands to herself, doesn't touch the
kids as much as she used to in the past.
She seems to be forging better friendships, and I believe
that if we continue with this, she's just going to
become more typical with her friends and with her academics.
The testament is to doctor Marlilo. He's recovered my child
(48:28):
for me. I can't thank him enough. I owe my
kids' lives to him at this point. So it's just
something I'm super appreciative for because I couldn't find the
answers anywhere else.

Speaker 3 (49:27):
Hi, I'm Emily Hayden.
Speaker 8 (49:29):
I'm the host of EB All of Them podcasts, Personal
Coach and Mentor.
Speaker 9 (49:33):
Now.
Speaker 8 (49:33):
We've all had those seasons in our life where it
feels like nothing is working out. You don't get the job,
the relationship doesn't work out, and it feels like the
things around you are crumbling. This can feel like a
very disempowered place to be in if you have the
core belief and if it's part of your language a
thought process, that nothing works out for me and the
world as it gets me. I know that it can
(49:54):
feel that way when you were just getting disappointment after disappointment.
But let me tell you why you allowing that to
be a part of your language and your thought process
is actually keeping you stuck in this disempowered place. So
today appear to help you move into an empowered place
that can create a different reality for yourself. Now, the
way that we can do that is by shifting that
belief that nothing works out for me too. Now having
(50:17):
this affirmation and belief that everything is always working out
for me, what this does is it spikes curiosity and
a potential hope for the future. So in a real
life example, it would look like you don't get the
job or you get fired from the job. One way
of navigating that and the disempowered place would be nothing
ever works out for me. This always happens, and that
(50:37):
feels heavy. It feels frustrating, and being in a heavy,
frustrated place is not going to allow you to take positive,
inspired action. Now you could go through the same exact
example of losing the job and instead say, Wow, I
wonder how this is working out for me because you
have the core belief it's always working out for me.
Now you're curious and you're interested, or how I wonder
(51:01):
what is next for me? I wonder what this is
preparing me for. I wonder why space is being created
in my life right now? I wonder what incredible job
opportunity I'm going to get next, and I wonder how
the job that I just had actually prepared me for
where I'm going next.
Speaker 3 (51:16):
So you see how simply a shift.
Speaker 8 (51:19):
In your thought process and your beliefs can create an
entire different thought process which allows you to show up
differently for yourself. It allows you to show up in
an empowered, excited, curious place. Your energy truly does dictate
the way you think, the way you speak, and the
way that you show up in your own life. So
today I hope that you guys will really think and analyze.
(51:39):
Am I in a disempowered place? Or am I in
an empowered place? And if you're in a disempowered place,
We've all been there. But now this is your opportunity
to check yourself. What are those root beliefs, those core
beliefs that you have that are dictating the way that

(05:27):
Phil Kraus and Sean Doherty.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Welcome to the show, superstars.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Thank you so much. Then it's a pleasure to be
on the show.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Phil.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
We're gonna start with basic things like zip bags, because
every year over one hundred billion plastic bags are tossed
in the US. I mean, if you think of it
and put that into perspective, that's enough to circle the
planet seven hundred times. And even worse, they're latent with chemicals, palates,
endocrime destructors. I mean that leaches into our food, including
those BPAs. Those are extremely toxic, not to mention microplastics
(05:57):
found in breast milk.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
Urine, even brain tissue.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Now klonomics composed of ale zip bags, they've swored in popularity.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
So what's finally clicking with consumers?
Speaker 5 (06:07):
When you just look at the stats released by EPA,
ninety one percent of the plastic y recycle doesn't even
get recycled. It just gets thrown out into additional garbage bins. Right,
Only like four to nine percent of the plastic we
put in that blue band at home actually makes it
and becomes recycled. It's just a huge problem. Not only that.
(06:28):
You know, as you said, one hundred billion plastic bags
are being used per year. That is around like one
bag per person in the United States every day, and
it's obscenely wasteful. Right, So we're using billions of bags.
Ninety one percent of it never gets recycled. It's going
into landfills, it's going into.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
The ocean, into our bodies.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Into our bodies. Like, don't even get me started on
the chemicals. I mean, the thalates that you're mentioning in
the BPAs are all linked to these terrible things like
lowering testosterume and men. Right, you can see there was
a study they did in the Boston Bay area in
nineteen eighty four where they just took the entire population
(07:11):
of men in that area, measured their testosterum levels, and
they took another test twenty years later, and it seemed
like there's been a generational decline in testosterone and it's
like twenty five percent decline over twenty year period, and
it's all linked to endocrine disruptors and those those chemicals
(07:31):
there are.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Thalates, forever chemicals.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Forever chemicals. Stalates is essentially added to plastic to make
it flexible. So think like shampoo bottles, like conditioners. This
type of stuff thalate makes plastic bendable and flexible. Right,
And just having like nanograms, it's not even much, right,
it's not even grams. It's nanograms. Could affect your testosterone,
(07:56):
affect your ferti fertility in women, it's affect dean lowering
the quality of eggs.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
And it's just it's definitely all inter length and it's
powerful knowing something as every day as sandwich bag can
carry so much impact. And I love that you've kept
the function and convenience minus the underlying toxins.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
So kudos to you, my friend.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Now, Sean, I'm going to pivot to you on Clinomic
and scaling mission brands. Your playbook of scaling iconic consumer
products is truly legendary. People who don't know you should
know you. So what made you align with brands like
Clinomic and how does your global tech brand strategy translate
into building clean, living consumer products.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I definitely think it's just a change in a chapter.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Right.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
I look back at you, know, the juice packed days,
and I'm not necessarily proud of all of the batteries
I've put in the landfills in retrospect, we need to
take care of ourselves. We put in on and around
our body, and it needs to be clean and toxic free.
Whether it's you know, the old days of MOPHI and
the European Union with EMF coming to that realization way
(09:03):
before we did. We just seem to be really behind
the times, and it's hurting us, and it's hurting the
people we love, it's hurting our pets, and it's hurting
our planet. And Klinomic is a perfect candidate to help scale.
I think the world needs the product. I think the
advocacy of the product is great, and I think it's
having a huge global impact.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Now, Phil, I'm going to talk about earth wash laundry
strips versus our traditional detergent. The US has seven hundred
million plastic detergent jugs alone hit land fills annually. Okay,
that's enough plastic to circle the Earth five times. And
most conventional detergents while nearly ninety percent water packaged in
bulky jugs in need of disposal.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
So earthwash offers.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
That lightweight, dissolvable strip from cardboard instead of jugs, which
I love how do they perform compared to traditional detergents,
and how do they protect sensitive skin and allergy own families.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
You know what sets earth wash apart from everything else
is it's all made with natural earth ingredients. It's a
plant based enzyme formula. So we dehydrate literally a sheet
of soap, and it just makes it way more convenient. Right.
We can mail it directly to your door, and it
weighs like half a pound, and you can get months
(10:22):
with laundry just using these little paper sheets traditional detergents,
As you said, it's ninety percent water, ten percent soap.
I mean alternative laundry formats like the tide pods. Those
films that hold all the soap together and in tiepod
don't fully decompose, and they're actually getting flushed through your
washing machine into the ocean essentially, so it's still contributing
(10:47):
to plastic waste. Earth wash it comes into cardboard packaging,
it's one hundred percent recyclable, and it's just the most
convenience and healthiest thing you can do for your body.
It's kind of a wind wind on every single battlefront
if you look at it from that perspective.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
So Sean.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Let's talk brand strategy and long term vision. So handling
consumers better options without overwhelming them, that's essentially society brand
secret sauce. You've said clean living should feel like an upgrade,
not a burden many times. So what's your long term
vision for society? How do you plan to expand this
clean living portfolio beyond zip bags and laundry strips and
(11:26):
leave a lasting cultural legacy. You already have some incredible
companies under the hood, but talk to me about what
the roadmap looks like.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
There's a lot of opportunity for product innovation.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
I mean, we can just go into our homes and
look at everything that comes in and these big boxes
taking up this huge global carbon footprint, and one by
one you'll see Silicon Valley based new product introductions coming
out from Klinomic that really set it apart. And we
hope to become the household solution to cleaning and safe
(12:00):
products for your family, your children, your pets, and for
our planet.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
And with your leadership, that future feels not just possible,
but imminent because you've clearly paved the way so and a.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
Lot of that feedback comes from our consumers, and that's
no different than Mophi, right, I mean, yeah, we did
a lot of product innovation, but it was often it
just brought to us by multiple repairts, requests, requests from
our very loyal consumers, and so at Society brands, we
like to listen.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
To our consumers and let us let them help us
guid our way. Yeah no, and you're doing exactly that now, Phil.
We touched on some of the other health risks earlier, but.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Beyond waste in landfills, the health risks of plastic bags
are real. Americans may ingest the equivalent of I mentioned
this earlier, credit cards worth of plastics and microplastics weekly,
and they've been detected in breast milk and placentas and
even brain tissue, which is just really alarming when you
(13:01):
think of those numbers are staggering. So what are the
hidden health costs of using these traditional zip bags for
food storage?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Right?
Speaker 4 (13:09):
It's one thing to put markers in them, and we're
killing the planet doing that, But how does clinomic solution
guard users, especially kids and families.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
You're right, and this is this is a touchy top topic, right,
so just to highlight that once again, Like according to WWF,
twenty nineteen study, the average American is ingesting one credit
card worth a plastic a week, so like over the
course of a year, Like could you actually imagine eating
fifty credit cards or their plastic, Like it's obscene, it's obscene,
(13:40):
and you're getting this all from you know, plastic leaking
into your food. Essentially, right with Klinomic, what we have
done is you said, like, okay, you can still have
your convenience and you don't have to worry about all
those hall risks because it is a plant based material
and it has a biomatrix formula that basically, once you
throw those bags away from Kleinomic, they go to landfills
(14:04):
and they break down within one hundred and eighty days.
And that formula that we've made the material with it
breaks it actually breaks down into a nutrient rich fertilizer,
and so it actually promotes health in the soil. So
instead of you know, poisoning yourself with plastic and contributing
to this super bad environmental crisis that's going on, you
(14:25):
can kind of just win on all situations. There we
touch health.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Powering because now we can choose to swap in safety
without sacrificing convenience and we're doing something.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Positive for the planet.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
So let's chat storytelling and brand differentiation. So Clinomic isn't
just another green brand, right, It's sleek, it's accessible, it's
direct to consumer and rooted in smart storytelling, which is
very important. How do you position Clinomic Sean differently from
typical eco brands and how critical is narrative in making
(14:57):
clean living resonate with modern shoppers.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Consumers need to be educated.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
Every product requires some form of education and this education
is just so natural and I and and I just
think it's it's you know, me educating you, you educating
your audience, you know, letting people you know, become familiar
with the product. They'll educate the people that they love.
(15:24):
And just shouting from the rooftops, Hey, guys, I think
we all deserve better and the planet is our responsibility.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Yeah, without a doubt.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Now, Phil, traditional detergents often come with dyes, within with
parabins and phosphates and basically common irritants, and combined with
jugs that clogg cabinets and generate waste. It's just inefficient
and outdated. I'm going to stress this again. So how
does earthwash deliver that performance on par or better than
(15:52):
big brand detergents. And why is it better suited for
allergy sensitive households?
Speaker 6 (15:58):
What makes what makes.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
The ingredients so powerful to cut through stains but yet
so eco friendly?
Speaker 5 (16:05):
I know, I want to challenge the Americans listening to
this to flip around their detergent and read off the
ingredient list on traditional detergents on the household brands. There's
names in there and that you cannot even pronounce, Like
it's so complex with the zides and all these nasty
chemicals they're putting in detergent just because it's the cheapest
(16:29):
effective way to get the product out. It all goes
back to earth WASH's formula. It's all plant based enzymes,
and you know our consumers can speak for like the
proof is in the pudding. You can see we have
like over fifty thousand and five reviews on earth Wash.
People are getting the same exact effectiveness without having to
(16:51):
sacrifice any of the convenience, without putting all those dangerous
chemicals and their laundry. So the proof is in the pudding.
It's one of our most loyal products on Earthwash. Once
people try it, they don't want to stop.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
While we are at the end of our date.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
My dear friends, Phil, was a pleasure getting to know
you you are. I'm so excited to see where you're
going to take this and I'm I have no doubt

Speaker 3 (19:09):
Welcome back, beautiful Tri State Area. You're listening to a
Moment of Zen.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Right here on seven ten WAR, the Voice of New
York iHeartRadio.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
I'm your host, Zenzam's. You're listening to the WePlay It
Forward series. Here on a Moment of Zen.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
And today's headline is saving soldiers and saving minds from
battlefield to breakthrough. It's a conversation about how cutting edge
brain science is rewriting the story of America's veterans.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
Here's why this matters.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Every day in the US, more than twenty veterans die
by suicide. It's a devastating reality, often linked to invisible
wounds like traumatic brain injury what they call TBI, post
traumatic stress disorder PTSD you've all heard that, and toxic exposures.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Studies also show that nearly one in.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Three combat veterans combat veterans report PTSD symptoms, and upwards
of forty percent of those exposed to last injuries or
burn pits develop long term neurological dysfunction.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Now joining me is doctor Philip Defina.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
He's a neurophysiologist and cognitive neuroscientist with over forty years
of experience advancing brain therapeutics. He served as Associate Professor
of Neurology and Psychiatry at NYU School of Medicine and
Bealvue Hospital, and today leads programs like Save a Soldier
and the Veteran's Advanced Care Program. These initiatives provide drug free,
(20:28):
multimodal treatments that research shows can restore brain function up
and up to eighty six percent of traumatic brain injury patients.
That's a huge number, results that far surpassed conventional care.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Here to break it all down is doctor Defina. Welcome
to the show, Superstar.
Speaker 9 (20:44):
Thank you, thank you for having me today.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
So let's start with the crisis.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
The Department of Veteran Affairs reports an average of sixty
four hundred veterans suicides annually, with brain injuries and PTSD
being the major contributors. So for many the standard treatments
medication and talk therapy aren't enough. Right, your program approaches
brain health in a radically different way. So can you
(21:08):
walk us through what makes the Save a Soldier protocol
quite unique?
Speaker 9 (21:12):
The brain is electrical, it's magnetic, it's chemical, and in
order to really reset and reorganize mechanisms of brain functioning,
we look at all those three parameters. So we do
a specialized assessment of the electrical system, the magnetic system,
the chemical system of the brain. We do specialized types
(21:36):
of neuropsychological testing in addition to specialized brain mapping. So
in the brain mapping, for instance, we look at the
electrical circuits. Those electrical circuits have three parameters that we review.
One has to do with the power of the signal,
the speed of the signal, and how the signal integrates.
(21:58):
So once we understand the strengths and weaknesses in electrical
brain signal processing, we're able to reboot or reorganize the
brain by using electrical stimulation and various other techniques like neurofeedback,
et cetera to be able to reorganize these electrical circuits.
(22:19):
When we reorganize reorganize the electrical circuits, it actually regulates
the magnetic field and those processes help to balance the
chemistry in the brain.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (22:31):
So yeah, so it's a different process. It's a unique
way of looking at how we diagnose. But we also
use the same methodology of electrical magnetic stimulation and the
use of nutraceuticals and other neurotherapies to treat these individuals
as well.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Wow, so you offer a thirty day all inclusive program
that includes hyperbaric oxygen therapy, brain mapping, neurofeedback IV detox.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
And even light and sound therapy.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
I mean for listeners who may not be familiar with
the science, can you break down how these therapies actually
rewire or repair the brain.
Speaker 9 (23:08):
Over the years, there have been many articles I produce
research and has been researched around the world that shows
how effective hyperberic oxygen is in reducing inflammatory processes to
help promote brain functions, increasing neurons, neurogenesis, increasing blood vessels, angiogenesis,
(23:28):
being able to improve mesenchymal stem cells in your body. So,
hyperic oxygen has multiple components which help regulate the electrical
and magnetic systems of the brain. Inflammatory processes, as I
talked about before, is a major issue with traumatic brain
injury with psychological conditions like post traumatic stress. Being able
(23:53):
to regulate these activities is really seen clinically in many
different things, reducing stress, increasing sleep. We actually give our
military personnel two ninety minute sessions, one in the morning
and one at the end of the day, and in
the interim they've given many neurotherapies, electrical stimulation, magnetic stimulation,
(24:17):
lighten sound therapies, neuro feedback, specialized kinds of customized nerve
feedback protocols. So being able to combine multiple modalities simultaneously
is a much better regimen than trying to use a
medication with minimal main effect and lots of side effects,
(24:40):
and over time the main effects diminish and the side
effects become greater. So we're doing something where we're naturally
looking to reboot the body's own electrical, magnetic, and chemical
system without providing a drug that would substitute something but
yet has a lot of other side effects.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Exactly, So I want to move on to something extremely important.
Our veterans are often exposed to these toxic environments right
burn pits, chemicals, heavy metals, and a study in them
Jama Jam and Neurology found that neurotoxin exposure increases the
risk of long term cognitive impairment by nearly fifty percent. Right, So,
how does your program specifically adjust these toxic exposures?
Speaker 3 (25:23):
That so many veterans carry home for more.
Speaker 9 (25:26):
Okay, well, there are different types of nutraceuticals that we use.
There are various kinds of ivy infusions, glut to thione,
and various things that cleanse the liver. There are certain
things that cleanse the kidneys. So we use certain natural
nutraceutical products, certain herbs. Proper diet, proper sleep, and proper
(25:52):
exercise are all important in getting rid of toxins. It's
not one thing. It's a combination of things that are
utilized together. And by doing that in a systematic way,
with good hydration, good nutrition, the ability to select the
appropriate types of herbs and nutrients that naturally detoxify the
(26:14):
body is extremely important.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
You've built not just a treatment, but a holistic experience. Housing, meals, transportation,
and pure counseling. I mean, we know that social support
can cut suicide risk nearly in half. Right, So why
was it so important for you to make this program
fully immersive and all inclusive.
Speaker 9 (26:33):
Well, it's really important. You know, veterans coming individually have
a different experience than when who's a group process. So
we try to bring in six to twelve veterans at
one time they interact with each other. We pay for
their transportation, we pay for their hotels, and during that
time they make connections with each other. Many of them
(26:56):
have experienced the same things. It's really good cathartic release
to be able to interface with people who have had
similar kinds of issues. So during that month they develop friendships,
they develop a support system amongst them. They're all going
through it together at the same time, so having that
group philosophy of utilizing that methodology as opposed to independently
(27:22):
assessing and treating someone is much more important. The connections
they make with each other are very powerful. The fact
that they're all going through it together is very supportive
to each other, and seeing the changes in themselves as
well as the new friends they've made, is a very
reinforcing component to what's going on.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Absolutely, healing isn't just clinical, it's relational. And what really
stands out is that the Save a Soldier program is
completely free of charge. Right that's number one to veterans
in their families and with healthcare costs often cited as
one of the biggest barriers to care. How are you
making this possible and what's your vision for scaling it nationwide.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
I mean, what have you done here?
Speaker 9 (28:06):
Well, we treat over four hundred veterans and the costs
can run anywhere between thirty to forty thousand dollars for
the month because of all the different methodologies you're using,
all the staff that's involved, it's a big process. So
what we do is we don't want veterans to be
stressed by not being able to have a service because
(28:28):
they can't afford it. So this is done for free.
They deserve that they served our country, they protected our country.
I'm a veteran, my daughter's a fourth generation military officer,
ourself is currently an active duty and so is a husband.
So this is a whole family thing of four generations
of military and my family. We're part of the one
percent that served. That's a statistic that most people are
(28:51):
unaware of. So it's only one percent of the population
that serves. And what happens is when you're in the military,
especially of the last several decades, due to the limitation
of resources, people are constantly sent back and forth to
do multiple tours of duty on very stressful situations, with
(29:13):
very little times in between to reset and reorganize themselves.
And these stress ores contribute to the entire process. So basically,
we have limited amounts of personnel that do many, many
tours of duty under very stressful conditions and are exposed
as you said before, the toxins, the various forms of
(29:34):
traumatic brain injury, the various forms of stress that create
post traumatic stress. And people don't realize it's not only
when they're on a mission that they can be exposed
to danger that creates brain injury and post traumatic stress.
The training process is so intense. There are many, many
(29:55):
injuries during training, So it's the entire process of the
years of multiple traumatic brain injuries, concussions, exposure to various
stress or as, toxins, et cetera that accumulate over time
and then create devastating kinds of effects which result in
these high suicide rates and these and the inability for
(30:16):
them to really function well within society.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Yeah, that's extraordinary. I mean, eliminating costs completely.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
It reminds me of the phrase no veteran left behind
right and scatering and scaling this nationwide could truly rewrite
how we as a country fulfill our promise.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
To those who served.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
So uh and the fact that your your entire family
is embedded, makes it even more impactful. Now, doctor Defina,
you've dedicated over four decades to brain research, in clinical
innovation and clinical innovation. So with everything you've seen, what
gives you the most hope right now for the veterans
struggling in silence.
Speaker 9 (30:49):
By improving the veteran, you're helping the family, So you're
you're helping the family, which is how which is such
a critical component because oftentimes families get broken apart. There's
a lot of separation with military veterans and their wives, etc.
Due to all these stress soords. So by helping the veteran,
we help the family, and by helping both, we're helping
(31:12):
our nation because we want to keep a strong military.
That's the premise behind what we're doing. The way we
do it is we have a five oh one C three.
We get a lot of contributions from people to try
to help the military, various grants, etc. We're trying to
increase this program by getting the word out to the
public so that they understand that all the moneies that
(31:34):
he used are directed specifically to our veterans to help them.
And we have so many that showed the incredible changes
in their life which are amazing. We do an interview
when they first join us, and then we do a
post exit interview, and you can see a tremendous amount
(31:56):
of change within a thirty day period which they've never
experienced before by simply taking medication and doing some intimate
and psychotherapy.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
That warms my heart.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
And I love that you capture those testimonials because proof
is in the pudding. Seeing is believing, and people do
judge a book by its cover. So if you do
have that incredible testimony from that incredible combat veteran whose
life got transformed via your program, you captured lightning in
a bottle.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
If you do that more than once, your roland. So
I think you're good.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
I think you got so much going on, and I'm
so excited, so eager to help in any way I can.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
It's a moving note to end on.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
Your work is not just saving lives, it's restoring futures.
And that's the very definition of what this segment is
called playing it forward.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
So thank you so much for joining us today, thank you.
Speaker 9 (32:44):

to get the word out to others.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
Welcome back, beautiful Tristate Area live from the iconic new
Exchange Right here at Fintech TV, we.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Have such an exciting guest joining us today for the
Fintech CEO Spotlight.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
The financial world continues to evolve at breakneck speed, from
artificial intelligence and digital transformation to regulatory shifts and global
market recalibrations. It's never been more critical to spotlight the
leadership behind some of Wall Street's most dynamic institutions. Today,
I'm joined by Sagerscheck. He's the chief executive officer at
Roth Capital Partners. With over two decades in the financial sector,
(36:22):
Sager has held leadership roles at ubs, Deutsche Bank, and
most recently MCAM Partners, where he served as CEO prior
to its acquisition by Roth in twenty twenty three. Now
at the helm of Roth, he's driving vision, scale and
culture across all business lines, expanding the firm's market footprint
and deepening investor trust in a volatile climate.
Speaker 10 (36:42):
Welcome to the show as your Pristyle, Thank you so much.
Appreciate the intro.
Speaker 11 (36:46):
And by the way, what a dynamic environment here at
the New York Stock Exchange.
Speaker 10 (36:49):
Kind of reminds me why I started my career on
Wall Street.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
It was for this and this is where it all happens,
all right, So let's dive in. According to a PWC's
twenty twenty four CEO survey, nearly forty five percent.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Of CEOs believe their companies will not be.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
Economically viable in ten years if they continue on their
current path.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
And yet, leadership.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
Isn't just about adjusting the numbers. It's about building trust, culture,
and long term value. So, Sager, how are you personally redefining.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
What it means to be a CEO.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
In this rapidly shifting environment and how does that translate
to the way Roth Capital is navigating today's market realities.
Speaker 10 (37:26):
Yeah, no, it's a great question.
Speaker 11 (37:27):
And you know, one thing I'll say is one of
the beautiful things about Roth is there's such a rich
history at the firm that has worked successfully for so long,
thirty to forty years that this company has been around.
So I want to run part of the playbook that
I've learned from Byron Wrath and my colleagues, where it's
an investment bank, we really depend on our relationships.
Speaker 10 (37:46):
We are a relationship based firm.
Speaker 11 (37:48):
I do think that part of the playbook will go
on indefinitely in the future. However, I think to not
factor in the use of technology and the evolving landscape
of AI into some of our business practices would.
Speaker 10 (38:00):
Be a mistake. So what are we doing as a
firm to prepare for that.
Speaker 11 (38:03):
We are evaluating so many different types of software systems ways.
Speaker 10 (38:08):
To make our employees better.
Speaker 11 (38:09):
But I'll tell you one thing, My fundamental bet is
still on the human capital of Wall Street and a
human capital of Roth, meaning I believe the technology is
going to make the humans.
Speaker 10 (38:20):
Better at what they do.
Speaker 11 (38:21):
I am not worried about my employees being replaced by
a robot or by AI. I just think they are
going to be superhumans with these tools.
Speaker 4 (38:28):
That's such a refreshing take on leadership and balancing that foresight.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
With grounded execution.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
And I love what you just said about responsibility being
more than just fiduciary.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Right, It's evolving with the times. It's cultural, it's strategic,
and it's deeply human.
Speaker 4 (38:41):
And I think if you are afraid of the advancements
in technology and.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
You operate from a place of fear, that's going.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
To trickle right down to every last one of your
key players.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
So I love that you're embracing all this change.
Speaker 5 (38:52):
That's right.
Speaker 11 (38:53):
And I think you know one of the best examples
I can give about the human being more valuable still
than the row in our opinion is that when volatility hits,
So when we have a big tweet from anybody and
the markets move, our clients want to talk to.
Speaker 10 (39:10):
That human on the other end of the line.
Speaker 11 (39:12):
I do think the AI will help us, Maybe it
helps prepare us with data and analytics information, but at
the end of the day, our clients still want that
human touch.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
Now, what's the shift and pivot inside the modern investment bank?
So Rod Capital has long been known for its focus
on high growth sectors from biotech to emerging tech, but
what's often overlooked is the human infrastructure that makes it
all scalable, which is what we're talking about now. In fact,
McKinsey reports that firms with high talent integration outperform competitors
(39:41):
by up to twenty five percent in OROE. So, since
Rod's acquisition of MKM Partners, can you talk to me
about what's been the drive behind your focus with these
sectors that you're investing in.
Speaker 10 (39:56):
Yeah, so you touch on a lot of things.
Speaker 11 (39:57):
One I'll say, even before I get into the sector,
it is development of human capital is a key part
of the playbook at Wroth, meaning we want our employees
to get smarter every day, so we surround them with resources,
tools and data to make them smarter, to give them
more information.
Speaker 10 (40:13):
To develop their careers and their skill sets.
Speaker 11 (40:15):
If we do that, we'll hopefully provide better services and
to our clients.
Speaker 10 (40:19):
But in terms of the sectors that we focus on
and how we.
Speaker 11 (40:23):
Come up with that will one If we just look
at any given company, are the fundamentals of the company
solid and can we help make them more solid?
Speaker 3 (40:30):
So before I.
Speaker 11 (40:31):
Even make any dive into one given sector or industry,
it's really about fundamentals of a company. We have views
and those views will change over time of where we
want to place our bets. Is it healthcare, is it technology?
Is it industrials? Is it sustainable investing? But the bottom
line is as an investment bank, we look for fundamentally
sound companies that we can showcase for our clients.
Speaker 10 (40:50):
And that's the bottom line.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
Now, it's a shot why relationships still drive results.
Speaker 3 (40:55):
So in a world driven.
Speaker 4 (40:56):
By data and digital acceleration, it's easy to forget that
relationships still moved capital. In fact, Harvard Business Reviews stud
he found that nearly ninety percent of investment decisions at
the executive level are still driven by trusted personal networks. So,
as someone who's operated across both bulge bracket and boutique environments,
how have you preserved the relationship first Ethosts long defined
(41:19):
Wroth and why does that still matter to you?
Speaker 9 (41:21):
One?
Speaker 11 (41:21):
Internally that the way the firm is kind of structured.
Everybody collaborates together. There is a spirit of entrepreneurship, but
there's definitely the element of teamwork and everything we do,
and I think the merger with a trading firm kind
of shows that, and it showcases that that the founder
of our firm, Byron Roth, he really felt that, hey,
can I bring on more talent, more people in order
(41:43):
to make everybody a bit more productive and a bit better.
And I think there's been a showcase on that. So
it would be remissed not to speak to each other
at the firm because you're missing out on different products
and services. That said, when it comes to the clients,
we also use technology to help us with our relationships.
We've made massive firm investment into a CRM system and
advanced CRM systems. So now my average salesperson instead of
(42:06):
making twenty five phone calls can get an outreach to
one hundred phone calls in a given day because.
Speaker 10 (42:11):
Of the CRM system.
Speaker 11 (42:12):
But at the end of the day, the CRM is
just better connecting us to our clients, keeping us better
informed about our clients, showing us changes in their portfolio,
showing us showing us changes with their holdings and where
where they're focusing on, and I think that allows us
to service them better. So for us, clients are still
the number one focus, but we'll just use technology to.
Speaker 10 (42:32):
Help us with that.

Tune into a Moment of Zen Saturday nights from nine
to ten. I am on seven ten woor the voice
of New York.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
Welcome back, beautiful Tri State area.
Speaker 4 (43:05):
You're listening to a Moment of Zen right here on
seven to ten war the voice of New york iHeartRadio,
I'm your host Zenzam's. In the Brain Blueprint Express segment, Joanniscrelli,
the mother of three neurodivergent children, shares her life changing
journey with world renowned brain researcher and clinician doctor Robert
Milillo and his Mililo method.
Speaker 12 (43:25):
My journey with autism started on July twenty third, twenty fourteen.
My second son, at that time I only had two children,
was diagnosed.
Speaker 13 (43:35):
As profoundly autistic.
Speaker 12 (43:37):
He was two, and we had tried everything under the sun.
We went to so many different doctors all over the
US and internationally.
Speaker 14 (43:46):
We were, I could say, desperate to try to bring
him to what we thought would be typical, what we
felt that he was originally before age two, and also
to give my oldest son, was only a year and
a half older, a brother that he can interact with.
Speaker 3 (44:04):
We did try brain balance.
Speaker 12 (44:06):
We tried to go there and get evaluated when he
was four, which was in twenty sixteen, but he was
too severe to be.
Speaker 3 (44:12):
Taken in at that time, so we kind of let
it drop.
Speaker 13 (44:16):
And so that's of course part of the Malila method.
Speaker 12 (44:19):
We read the book Disconnected Kids back in twenty sixteen,
but again we were told he was too severe, so
we moved on. We tried other doctors, other therapies. I
had a daughter a few years later, and then fast forward,
I had Julian, my youngest, in twenty eighteen, so two
years later, three years later, he's now diagnosed as perhaps
(44:40):
moderately to if not severely, autistic. He was about three
years old, there was no speech, and then my husband
took it upon himself to start to research doctor Melilo specifically,
and he found that there's an office that's about an
hour and a half to two hours from our home.
So we started with Julian, started the Malila method. We
(45:00):
persevered every single day, twice a day, we came here
to the office for a full week intensive therapy with him,
and within two months I have a video of Julian
bringing me my car keys and telling me he wanted
to go to my mother's house in a full sentence,
which was just completely.
Speaker 13 (45:21):
Unusual for him. And then from there on out.
Speaker 12 (45:25):
It was just improvement after improvement. The speech flourished, he
started to have a connection with us to ask questions,
and after a full year and again another intensive, another
week intensive with doctor Malilo. Thinking twenty twenty end of
twenty twenty three or beginning of twenty twenty four, he
gets evaluated by the school district.
Speaker 13 (45:45):
And he's now in a genet class with Henrik.
Speaker 12 (45:47):
It's been certainly more of a struggle. However, we stopped
all of the therapies. We keep a very clean diet.
We have focused on the Malilo method, and I have
seen again baby steps. And I think it's because he
was eleven when we started, but I have seen baby
steps of improvement, more eye contact, more willingness to listen
(46:11):
without having sibs laughing at things that the families laughing
at that, you know, we thought he was never aware of,
like jokes, or trying to play with Julian Moore, trying
to play with Lena Moore. Of course, my oldest son
is super patient with him because they were the two
together the longest, but there's certainly more of a connection
(46:33):
with his siblings.
Speaker 13 (46:34):
He's also more willing to read books.
Speaker 12 (46:36):
He'll pick out, you know, books that are fourth fifth grade,
sixth grade appropriate about the American Revolution or anything like that,
and he'll sit there and he'll read it.
Speaker 13 (46:45):
And we really feel that he's starting to understand a
lot more. His piano playing has just.
Speaker 3 (46:52):
It's become phenomenal.
Speaker 13 (46:54):
I can't teach him.
Speaker 12 (46:55):
I was a teacher myself, but he sits there and
he just plays these amazing pieces that I don't know
where he's getting this talent from, but it's fun to watch,
and I do believes it's partially because of the Malilo method.
And then my daughter, who is also a patient here
with doctor Mlilo, has a left brain deficit. She wears
(47:15):
the red glasses, and initially before we started two years ago,
she was very socially unaware, had a lot of issues
with kids in her class for a long time. She's
just finished fourth grade now, but from kindergarten through third grade,
I mean didn't really have many friends, you know. I
would get calls from parents in schools that she's just very.
Speaker 13 (47:34):
Handsy or doesn't listen. Her grades were way below average.
Speaker 12 (47:39):
But again not autistic, not diagnosed autistic like the boys,
certainly different kind of handicap, if you will. But as
we did the Malilo method with her as well, so
we do with all three children twice a day, I
have seen her grades improve tremendously. She went from a
way below average student just slightly below average, if not average,
(48:02):
and slightly above average in some of her testing.
Speaker 13 (48:06):
She's more socially aware.
Speaker 12 (48:07):
She certainly keeps her hands to herself, doesn't touch the
kids as much as she used to in the past.
She seems to be forging better friendships, and I believe
that if we continue with this, she's just going to
become more typical with her friends and with her academics.
The testament is to doctor Marlilo. He's recovered my child
(48:28):
for me. I can't thank him enough. I owe my
kids' lives to him at this point. So it's just
something I'm super appreciative for because I couldn't find the
answers anywhere else.

Speaker 8 (49:33):
We've all had those seasons in our life where it
feels like nothing is working out. You don't get the job,
the relationship doesn't work out, and it feels like the
things around you are crumbling. This can feel like a
very disempowered place to be in if you have the
core belief and if it's part of your language a
thought process, that nothing works out for me and the
world as it gets me. I know that it can
(49:54):
feel that way when you were just getting disappointment after disappointment.
But let me tell you why you allowing that to
be a part of your language and your thought process
is actually keeping you stuck in this disempowered place. So
today appear to help you move into an empowered place
that can create a different reality for yourself. Now, the
way that we can do that is by shifting that
belief that nothing works out for me too. Now having
(50:17):
this affirmation and belief that everything is always working out
for me, what this does is it spikes curiosity and
a potential hope for the future. So in a real
life example, it would look like you don't get the
job or you get fired from the job. One way
of navigating that and the disempowered place would be nothing
ever works out for me. This always happens, and that
(50:37):
feels heavy. It feels frustrating, and being in a heavy,
frustrated place is not going to allow you to take positive,
inspired action. Now you could go through the same exact
example of losing the job and instead say, Wow, I
wonder how this is working out for me because you
have the core belief it's always working out for me.
Now you're curious and you're interested, or how I wonder
(51:01):
what is next for me? I wonder what this is
preparing me for. I wonder why space is being created
in my life right now? I wonder what incredible job
opportunity I'm going to get next, and I wonder how
the job that I just had actually prepared me for
where I'm going next.
Speaker 3 (51:16):
So you see how simply a shift.
Speaker 8 (51:19):
In your thought process and your beliefs can create an
entire different thought process which allows you to show up
differently for yourself. It allows you to show up in
an empowered, excited, curious place. Your energy truly does dictate
the way you think, the way you speak, and the
way that you show up in your own life. So
today I hope that you guys will really think and analyze.
(51:39):
Am I in a disempowered place? Or am I in
an empowered place? And if you're in a disempowered place,
We've all been there. But now this is your opportunity
to check yourself. What are those root beliefs, those core
beliefs that you have that are dictating the way that
you see what it is that you're going through? And
could you invite yourself into more of an empowered place
so that you can take inspired, aligned action and get excited,
(52:02):
curious and helpful for your future.
