  • Season 12, Episode 6: Josh Morvant with Secure Logic, LLC
    Oct 29 2025

    Josh Morvant, founder of Secure Logic, traded his lab coat for a mic to chat with your On The Cusp hosts, Matt and Dave. He shares how his mission to keep kids healthy in schools started before COVID ever hit the headlines. Josh walks us through the long development process that led to Secure Logic’s big breakthrough — a dry disinfectant system that can coat an entire facility without anyone stepping inside. Unlike traditional cleaning that depends on people (and misses more than you’d think), this dry tech reaches every surface, wipes out invisible germs, and stays completely non-toxic to humans. The hardest part? Not the science — the education. Josh had to show people that a smarter, safer way to disinfect was already here. Tune in now to experience a healthier, cleaner tomorrow with Secure Logic.
