Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode #539: Dr. Mireille Vega
Q: How did you transition from biotech executive to founder, and what lessons carried over?
She discusses the mindset shift from corporate to startup, noting that leadership and project management skills transferred, but the consumer-driven, science-communication aspects required new soft skills and a different pace of experimentation.
Episode #539: Dr. Mireille Vega
Q: Where can people buy the products and what is the go-to-market approach?
VGAM Biome operates primarily through an ecommerce site with some boutiques, focusing on education and a direct-to-consumer model to explain the science and value of their two-protein/ingredient approach rather than traditional cosmetic marketing.
Episode #539: Dr. Mireille Vega
Q: Is the product line natural, and how do you balance natural ingredients with efficacy?
She explains that the products are natural but not inherently healthier solely by virtue of being natural; she emphasizes a balanced blend of 35 natural ingredients designed to support the skin microbiota and stresses the importance of balancing oils and salts to adapt to daily skin needs.
Episode #539: Dr. Mireille Vega
Q: Tell us about your background and how you got to VGAM Biome.
Dr. Vega describes a long journey from biochemistry and oncology to leading a microbiome-focused skincare company, highlighting how personal experiences with skin health, family health challenges, and a shift from corporate roles to entrepreneurship shaped VGAM's mission and product philosophy.
Episode #541: Jay Jacobson
Q: How has communication shaped your career and why did you write books on it?
Communication is foundational to trust and partnership. My books advocate for clear, constructive communication as a driver of leadership success and personal growth, including strategies for those who learn differently.
