Forrest isn't just a startup guy—he's an exit guy. After successfully building and exiting multiple businesses, he took a big step back and asked: What really matters?That led him to co-found Kineon, a company using red light therapy to give people safer, smarter solutions for managing pain. No pills. No surgeries. Just science-backed, preventative wellness tech that works. But what's wild is how Forrest connects the dots between entrepreneurial strategy and personal health. We also get into how Forrest evaluates whether a company is built to scale or just spinning its wheels. Some of the gems:Are you in the right part of the supply chain?Are you investing in IP that drives value?Are your systems supporting scale or just surviving chaos?And the biggie: Are you building a business that serves your life or one that drains it?Because at the end of the day, if your business isn't aligned with your mission and wellbeing, it's just another job.
