077 Dror Ceder | Interrogation to Metabolism Jun 01, 2020

Show notes

Today I chat with one of the CEO's of Lumen, the world's first hand-held, portable device that reads your metabolism, Dror Ceder. When I first started using Lumen, I knew immediately that I wanted to speak with the founders of the device. The innovative nature behind it blew my mind. Dror was kind enough to chat with me about his past and how he came to find Lumen. Dror served in the Israeli military, and talks about how that ultimately strengthened his character and increased his self confidence. He studied business and entrepreneurship and started a company that, at first, nobody was interested in. As he learned more about the rampant health problems in society, he became very passionate about general wellbeing and somewhere down the road, Lumen became known to us all. I'm a big fan of Dror, and am excited to give you guys this conversation. Without further ado, Dror Ceder.

Thanks to Lumen for sponsoring this episode!
