What happens when a science teacher from Brooklyn ends up running a health tech startup in Vancouver? In this episode, Trevor sits down with Rex Farrand, co-founder and CEO of My HealthSpan—to talk about the wild, winding path from classroom to the corner office.
Rex shares what it’s like to lead a company in a world of AI-fueled hype, why he’s focused with building trust through data privacy, and how his team is using AI to turn complex health info into real, personalized action. He opens up about sleepless nights, financial pressure, and what it really means to carry a company’s future on your shoulders when the runway is short and the stakes are real.
If you’ve ever wondered what it actually feels like to be a startup founder in the middle of the storm—this one’s for you.
