The Breaking Brad Show

The Breaking Brad Show

What happens when a patient cures himself in his garage, then builds a biotech company from scratch? You get The Breaking Brad Show — where rebellion meets research and the impossible becomes inevitable. Hosted by Brad Burnam, founder and CEO of Turn Therapeutics, the show explores what it takes to build something that shouldn’t exist — from breakthrough cures to bold startups to movements that challenge the establishment. Each episode dives into the world of Rebel R&D — not just research and development, but rebel and defy. You’ll meet founders, scientists, policymakers, and inventors who refused to wait for permission, funding, or precedent — and built their own way forward. Because the future doesn’t belong to the biggest institutions. It belongs to the people crazy enough to build the impossible — one idea, one risk, one breakthrough at a time.
