In this episode we are diving into the surprisingly fascinating world of cerumen, the scientific name for earwax. We'll explore its protective role, why some people produce more than others, and what happens when it builds up too much. Plus, we'll introduce you to a safe, innovative technique that's changing the way we manage earwax buildup—no risky poking required. Sahil Diwan is the Co-Founder and CEO of SafKan Health, the company behind OtoSet® — the world's first automated ear-cleaning headphones that can clean earwax buildup in 30 seconds. He's on a mission to solve one of the most overlooked yet widespread health issues: earwax buildup, which affects 35M+ Americans and can lead to conductive hearing loss, tinnitus, and chronic discomfort — among other issues. A first-generation immigrant from India, Sahil's journey began with a deeply personal problem — his brother Aadil's lifelong struggle with earwax buildup. What started as a college dorm experiment with 3D-printed prototypes is today an FDA-cleared medical device used by clinics nationwide — making ear care more accessible and consumer-friendly than ever before. The company's flagship OtoSet was named among the Best Health Designs of 2023 by Fast Company, while videos of the device in action have racked up over 250M views online, proving just how urgent and universal this problem is. Tens of thousands of Americans have reported finding relief with OtoSet: hearing clearer, feeling cleaner, and reconnecting with the sounds they've been missing. Sahil is one of the youngest people ever to receive FDA 510(k) clearance for a medical device and has raised $13M in venture funding on his journey to reshape the future of ear care.

We are quickly approaching the Autumn Equinox, when we'll transition into the dark half of the year. I used to hate the darkness - literally and metaphorically. I especially dreaded Daylight Savings Time. I equated the darkness with depression, and from a spiritual perspective, I used to associate it with evil. On my rewilding journey, I've now come to see it much differently - as a blessing! Darkness can be... the void that births all of creationwhere things grow in the womb and in the soilwhere our roots grow down deepwhere we connect with our inner world and the invisible growth and transformations that matter just as much as, if not more than, what our culture obsesses over in terms of upward, measurable growthTune in to hear more about the Mirror of Mabon to release the fear of darkness and receive its blessings.**I made you a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE companion guide⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for this episode!

The Centers for Disease Control, the nation's top public health agency, is in chaos following the firing of its director by President Donald Trump and the resignations of its top leaders last week. Nine former CDC directors wrote in the New York Times this week that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, who spearhead the purge of the CDC and is a longtime leader of the anti-vaccine movement, is “endangering every American's health.”States are increasingly spurning Kennedy and taking health matters into their own hands. Northeastern states, including Vermont, have formed a regional health coalition in response to concerns about federal vaccine guidance. The governors of California, Washington and Oregon declared this week said that the CDC has become “a political tool that increasingly peddles ideology instead of science … that will lead to severe health consequences.” The three western states are banding together to coordinate their own vaccine policy.Meanwhile, the state of Florida has just announced that it will become the first state to do away with all childhood vaccine mandates, eliciting strong objections from public health experts.Can Vermont trust the health advice coming out of the federal government? What are the leading threats to public health confronting the state and country?“It pains me to say, I don't know that you want to trust the CDC,” said Dr. Becca Bell on The Vermont Conversation. Bell is associate professor of pediatrics at the Larner College of Medicine and a pediatric critical care physician at the University of Vermont Children's Hospital. She is the immediate past president of the Vermont Medical Society and of the Vermont Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics. (Bell noted that she is speaking in her personal capacity, not on behalf of the organizations with which she is affiliated).Bell said that “the officials that have left the (CDC) have really raised the alarm that … we shouldn't trust what's coming out of the CDC in terms of some immunization guidance in particular.”She encouraged families to look to other sources for accurate information, especially the parenting website of the American Academy of Pediatrics, which represents 67,000 pediatricians. She also recommended the Vermont Department of Health and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.“Then I ask families to talk to their own child's doctor, because that's going to be a great source as well.” Kennedy, the Health and Human Services secretary, announced in May that the CDC would no longer recommend a COVID shot for healthy children. The American Academy of Pediatrics has issued contrary guidance, recommending a COVID shot for all children under the age of 2 since they are “especially vulnerable to severe COVID-19.”Bell credited Vermont with being proactive “about how we can keep Vermonters safe," but added, “I feel really sad for the future of this country's child's health, because I think that we're going to see a lot of disparities, not just with access to vaccination but access to health care in general, with the big Medicaid cuts that are coming up as well.”Bell warned that Medicaid cuts, which will result in some 45,000 Vermonters losing health insurance, will fall hardest on children. One third of Medicaid enrollees in Vermont are children.“What we're about to see with that One Big Beautiful Bill Act (is) a huge transfer of resources from low income folks to the highest earners in this country,” said Bell. “Accessible, affordable health care is what kids need to succeed and for families to succeed, and so we are deeply concerned about the future of pediatric health care because our foundation is Medicaid. This is how we care for kids. It's what supports our clinics.”“The lack of investment in children is just really concerning and very short sighted.”

So you've got an exceptional offer (or the bones of one), but pricing it? Ugh. That's the part that keeps tripping you up. Because every time you go to name your price, that little voice creeps in: What about the people who can't afford it? Shouldn't I be more accessible? I just don't want price to be a factor.In this episode, I'm blowing that mindset wide open.I'm talking about how undercharging (in the name of being “accessible”) is actually doing your business and your audience, a massive disservice. I'm going to walk you through the real reason your signature offer needs a ‘Goldilocks' price and why that magic number can be the difference between a business that thrives... and one that barely survives.You'll learn:Why being “affordable” isn't the flex you think it isWhat the Goldilocks Price Point actually is and how to find yoursHow pricing affects not just your revenue, but your positioning, your energy, and the kind of clients you attractWhy your signature offer should become the bedrock of your business (and how to price it so it sells out on repeat)And the surprising hotel analogy that will change the way you think about value and accessibility foreverIf you know you should be charging more… but just can't seem to get there, this episode is for you x

Whitewater paddling is everyone's cup of tea, but some people feel like they don't even have the chance to try. On this week's episode of Peak Northwest, we talk to the leaders of nonprofit organization Diversify Whitewater, who talk about the barriers that some paddlers face, and how the organization is helping serve those underserved communities. While Diversify Whitewater is not based in the Pacific Northwest, it has been bringing its Kayak Progression program, in which people gradually gain comfort on the water, to Oregon and Washington waterways. Those accepted into the program get access to an activity that may have felt inaccessible, the organization said, and can find a community of likeminded people. Here are some highlights from this week's show: The origin story of Diversify Whitewater. What barriers do these paddlers face? What is the Kayak Progression program?

Dr. Stephen Steinberg, Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of EndoSound, is tackling this problem head-on with an innovative approach to endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) technology. By dramatically lowering costs, EndoSound is helping more hospitals and surgical centers provide this life-saving diagnostic and therapeutic modality to millions of patients.Endoscopic ultrasound has been a medical mainstay for over 25 years, offering real-time imaging and diagnostic capabilities for conditions like pancreatic cancer. However, the prohibitive cost of traditional EUS systems—up to half a million dollars—has kept the technology out of reach for many facilities. Stephen and his team at EndoSound have developed a system that reduces these costs by 90%, making it accessible to smaller hospitals, surgical centers, and even under-resourced regions globally.“What became apparent was that my backlog of cases and waiting times were getting longer and longer,” Stephen explained, citing the lack of local access to EUS technology. “We adapt the scopes that [medical centers] already have with ultrasound technology, providing a much more cost-effective, much more accessible opportunity.”EndoSound's innovation doesn't just lower costs. By enabling earlier diagnoses of conditions like pancreatic cancer, which currently has a five-year survival rate of just 12%, the technology has the potential to save thousands of lives. Stephen described the transformative impact: “Our technology has the ability to impact that curve…to make it so that patients' tumors are caught earlier.”Beyond patient care, the technology offers financial benefits to facilities. Surgical centers that adopt EndoSound's system can generate revenue from procedures while improving patient outcomes. With millions of diagnostic procedures performed annually, the market opportunity for EndoSound's affordable solution is substantial.For those interested in supporting this groundbreaking work, EndoSound is currently raising capital through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on WeFunder. This presents a chance for investors to back a company that is not only disrupting the healthcare industry but also saving lives.Stephen's vision is clear: to democratize access to critical diagnostic tools and improve outcomes for patients worldwide. His work exemplifies the spirit of innovation and purpose that drives meaningful progress in healthcare.tl;dr:Dr. Stephen Steinberg discusses EndoSound's affordable endoscopic ultrasound technology that improves healthcare access and outcomes.By reducing costs by 90%, EndoSound enables earlier diagnoses, especially for conditions like pancreatic cancer.Stephen highlights the global potential of EndoSound to bring life-saving care to under-resourced regions.His superpower, courage and tenacity, stems from personal experiences navigating his children's life-threatening illnesses.EndoSound is raising capital via crowdfunding, empowering investors to support its transformative healthcare mission.How to Develop Courage and Tenacity As a SuperpowerStephen's superpower is a combination of courage and tenacity. He explains that courage isn't about choosing to be heroic but rather about responding to terrifying circumstances. Recalling his experience as a young parent facing life-threatening heart defects in his children, Stephen shared, “You discover courage not because you choose to but because circumstances require you to push through.” From these challenges, he also developed tenacity—the determination to persist even when exhausted or overwhelmed. These qualities have shaped his approach to both medicine and entrepreneurship.One story that demonstrates Stephen's superpower is his family's journey with his two children, both born with life-threatening heart defects. Despite the overwhelming fear and challenges, he and his wife relied on their courage and tenacity to support their children through cutting-edge medical care. Both children are now thriving adults, with families of their own. Stephen's personal experiences instilled in him a deep commitment to improving access to life-saving technologies like EndoSound.Stephen's advice for developing courage and tenacity includes:Define Your Mission: Identify a purpose that inspires you to push through obstacles.Stay Focused on the Goal: Visualize your desired outcome to maintain determination.Draw Strength from Others: Lean on your support network during difficult times.Take It Step by Step: Break overwhelming challenges into smaller, manageable tasks.By following Stephen's example and advice, you can make courage and tenacity a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileDr. Stephen Steinberg (he/him):Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer, EndoSound, IncAbout EndoSound: EndoSound® has developed a breakthrough approach to delivering high-quality gastrointestinal diagnostics—without the prohibitive cost that has kept this technology out of reach for most patients. The EndoSound Vision System™ (EVS™) merges video-guided endoscopy and ultrasound into a single, real-time diagnostic view, enabling more accurate, minimally invasive exams that can be performed in outpatient and ambulatory settings.Its portable, compact design makes it equally at home in hospitals, Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs), and rural or resource-limited care environments—dramatically expanding where advanced GI imaging can be performed. The EVS is FDA cleared and retrofits to the standard endoscopes already in use worldwide, eliminating the need for proprietary scopes. This integration creates an exceptionally affordable path for providers to offer cutting-edge diagnostics where they're needed most, including in under-resourced healthcare systems across the globe.Website: endosound.comX/Twitter Handle: @EndoSoundEVSOther URL: wefunder.com/endosoundBiographical Information: Dr. Steinberg is the co-inventor of a medical device with the potential to change the trajectory of GI care globally. A graduate of Cornell University and Johns Hopkins Medical School, Dr. Steinberg has devoted a 40-year career to advancing diagnostic and therapeutic gastrointestinal endoscopy.Among these procedures, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) stands out as one of the most transformative—offering unparalleled insight into pancreatic, biliary, and submucosal disease. As co-inventor of the patented technologies behind EndoSound, he has married deep clinical expertise with engineering innovation to dismantle the access barriers that have kept EUS confined to a select few institutions. His vision extends far beyond U.S. borders—toward making this life-saving diagnostic accessible in regions where the absence of early detection leads to preventable deaths.Linkedin: linkedin.com/company/endosoundSupport Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

At a time when startups are primarily funded by private market investors, who you know has become a critical factor in gaining access to that venture capital. But how does the reliance on alumni and professional networks create barriers for startups from historically disadvantaged groups?Emmanuel Yimfor '20 is a finance professor at Columbia Business School and holds a Ph.D. from Rice University. His research focuses on entrepreneurial finance, diversity and private capital markets, with insights into gender and racial disparities in venture capital funding, board representation and how resources could be more equitably allocated.Emmanuel joins co-host Maya Pomroy '22 to discuss his career journey from working at a Cameroonian telecommunications company to teaching at some of the top U.S. business schools, as well as his research on the influence of alumni networks in venture capital funding, how AI tools can address biases in lending, and finally how he's teaming up with his son to bring AI tools to young innovators and entrepreneurs in Cameroon. Episode Guide:01:00 Exploring Entrepreneurial Finance03:36 The Role of Networks in VC Funding08:10 Emmanuel's Journey From Cameroon to the U.S.12:34 The Rice University Experience15:43 Research on Alumni Networks and Funding21:49 Algorithmic Bias in Lending33:17 Empowering Future Innovators in Cameroon38:42 Final Thoughts and Future OutlookOwl Have You Know is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:Rethinking who gets funded in venture capital31:07: What does good networks mean exactly? If you look at venture capital partners, for example, right? They have worked at McKinsey before they became venture capital partners. So they have worked at certain companies, they have done certain jobs that then led them to become VCs. And so to the extent that we have a lack of representation in this pipeline of jobs that is leading to VC, then the founders that do not come from these same backgrounds do not have as equal access to the partners. And so what that suggests is something very basic, which is like, just rethink the set of deals that you are considering. That might expand the pool of deals that you consider, because, you know, there might be a smart person out there that is maybe not the same race as you, but that has an idea that you really, really want to fund. And that is something that I think, like, everybody would agree with. You know, we want to allocate capital to its most productive uses.From hard data to meaningful change29:13: So I have a belief in America, at least based on my life journey, which is: if you work hard for long enough, somebody is going to recognize you and you will be rewarded for it. And so I really believe that America takes in data, thinks about that data for a while to think about whether the research is credible enough, and then, using that data, they are a good Bayesian, so they get a new posterior. They act in a new way that is consistent with what the new before and the new data. And so I think about my role as a researcher as just like, you know, providing that data. Here is the data, and here is what is consistent with what we are doing right now. Now, you know, what you do with that information now is like, you know, update what you are doing in a way that is most consistent with efficient capital allocation—is my hope.Why Emmanuel finds empirical work so exciting 21:34: Empirical work is so exciting to me because then you are like, "I am a little bit of a police detective." So you take a little bit of this thing that feels hard to measure, and then you can create hypotheses to link it to the eventual outcomes, to the extent that that thing that is hard to measure is something that is leading to efficient capital allocation. Then, on average, you know, this feeling that you get about founders that are from the same alma mater should lead to good things as opposed to leading to bad things. And so, you know, that is exactly the right spirit of how to think about the work.Show Links: TranscriptGuest Profiles:Emmanuel Yimfor | Columbia Business SchoolEmmanuel Yimfor | LinkedInEmmanuel's Website
