Biohacking Your Most Optimal Self with Michael Brandt

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In today's episode, our guest is Michael Brandt. He is the creative product founder of Ketone IQ. This is not an ad, but today, we will unravel how he figured out the product and its whole process.  </span></p> <p><strong>[2:32] Why should I listen to you?</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When I meet people, I try to make them smile or laugh. I don't think you should talk to me because I am a CEO or successful. The reason why you should speak to me is that we are hitting it off at the present moment. </span></p> <p><strong>[4:10] How did you become the human you are today? </strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I didn't always fit in at school. I got a lot of check marks on my report card for areas to improve my behavior. I never felt like I was doing something wrong. I did my homework. I wasn't a bad kid, but I got a lot of beef marks against me, which gave me an exciting stance regarding the authorities and system. My parents didn't like that I always got check marks on my cards, but they were generally with me. They believe I'm not a troublemaker and always advise me not to upset my teacher too much. They didn't overly scold me but understood me and the school system. That's part of what made me back in the day. </span></p> <p><strong>[6:19] What was your journey through high school/college like? </strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I had the good fortune of getting into Stanford for college. I was surprised that I got in because I don't think I have the intellectual caliber, but my grades were solid. I did a lot of extracurricular activities. I took advantage of all the resources I could and majored in computer science. I'm not coding in my day job, but it taught me complex principles about good system designs. I have always been interested in new technologies coming out of the world and the user experience they offer. I also worked at Youtube as a product manager, and I also worked on the autoplay feature. </span></p> <p><strong>[9:12] W
