This week, Jory Scott takes the guys on a journey from bullfighter to bio-tech pioneer! Jory discusses his unconventional career path from being a top-ranked professional bullfighter to an occupational therapy assistant, athletic trainer, and ultimately a leader in the medical field of biologics and stem cell therapy.

Caleb & Chris focus the core of their discussion on Jory's work, particularly his companies’ potentially positive impacts in treating conditions like autism, ALS, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) – where Jory used his own cell therapy on himself to test its effectiveness, due to prior concussions from his bullfighting career.

He details the scientific basis and ethical considerations of their adult-derived stem cell process, addressing common misconceptions and the challenges of operating in a complex, competitive, and highly scrutinized medical sector. Jory also offers advice for small business owners on the importance of self-awareness and seeking honest counsel to achieve success.
