What if a simple blood test could detect cancer early enough to save lives?In today's Medicine for Good episode, Beyond the Signal, we delve into the inspiring and hopeful story of Roger Royse, a Silicon Valley startup lawyer diagnosed with stage 2 pancreatic cancer. Unlike many others, Roger's cancer was detected early thanks to a groundbreaking Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) blood test, Galleri by GRAIL. While 70% of cancers do not have standard screening options, Roger's proactive approach highlights the power of these new diagnostic tools, particularly for elusive cancers like pancreatic cancer, which often go undetected until it's too late.Roger shares his emotional journey—from the initial shock of the diagnosis to his aggressive chemotherapy regimen and the experimental cancer vaccine that led him to remission. His resilience is evident as he recounts his determination to seek out life-saving technologies, even when faced with medical roadblocks.Despite having no symptoms, Roger's decision to pursue the MCED test was pivotal in catching the disease early. He challenges the outdated notion that cancer screening should only be done when symptoms arise.In this episode, we also touch on the broader implications of multi-cancer detection technology. Early detection through blood tests could revolutionize cancer care, reducing late-stage diagnoses and improving patient outcomes. Roger's story isn't just about survival—it's about advocacy. He's now using his platform to promote the importance of being proactive about health, even when you feel healthy.

According to a United Nations study by the year 2050, the world’s population will reach 9.1 billion which is 34 percent higher than today. In order to feed this larger, more urban, and richer population, food production must increase by 70 percent. So the question is given the limits of available farmland and water resources, how are we going to meet this increase in food demand? Agtech Sector Perspective from Roger Royse, Founder Royse Law Firm: Agtech is not just a movement it’s a revolution. We’ve had an industrial revolution we had an information revolution learn an agricultural revolution right now and as agriculture becomes a tech-enabled business and we’re seeing that come up in a lot of different areas robotics artificial intelligent controlled environment soil health as we were talking about earlier. So the thing that’s been driving all that. Are a couple of things in my world here in Silicon Valley. It’s really been the fact that the venture community woke up to this like I say about six or seven or maybe eight years ago and started investing heavily in this. On Vertical Farming, Sonia Lo, CEO of Crop One Holdings  Vertical farming is as the name implies a stacked shelving system generally within an enclosed space with artificial lighting but probably the simpler way to think about vertical farming is that it is the transfer of electrons to calories or the storage of electrons to calories because energy is the single largest input and what that really implies is that for the first time ever really agriculture can be segregated from climate and geography. And so anywhere you can generate an electron you can grow food. This type of vertical farming, that’s very dense, that can be liberated from climate and geography is something that’s a relatively recent phenomenon in the last six to seven years. And that’s been enabled by the advent of cheap LCD lighting and cheap sensors. The unit economics of indoor growing of food has really been enabled by the cost decline and those two input technologies.

Here's a 1 minute highlight from an interview with one of our Guests. Find their full interview at www.ExitCoachRadio.com -- just click "Audio Library" in the "LISTEN" section and enter their name to sell all of their interviews! Roger Royse, Attorney-Royse Law Firm discusses why many Start-up companies have a shorter life span and they must be very attuned to having an Exit Strategy right from the start. Transcript:  Roger: Start up companies, if they expect that they're going to get institutional funding like a lot of them do, have to anticipate a fairly early exit because their venture capital investors are managing funds that have definite endpoints, those funds term out. What happens is, as they get to the life of the end of the fund, or as they hold an investment for awhile, they're going to get increasingly demanding about seeking the liquidity of that. So, even though the founders might like to stay in the company for a long time, you can expect that the investors are going to want to see an exit, in other words, the sale of the company, certainly within 5-7 years. Now, having said that, I've got companies, legitimate startup companies, that have been my clients for 15-20 years. It just turned out that it was a good cash business and they just hung onto it and didn't just build it to sell. But, the typical startup, they expect a pretty fast exit, especially these days.  What can you do RIGHT NOW to work on making your Business more Sustainable, Transferable and Valuable in the future?
