#61 Rootine: Building the Future of Vitamins, Micronutrients, and Data-Driven Health | Rachel Sanders, Co-Founder & CEO
2021-10-27
In Episode #61, we explore building the future of vitamins, micronutrients, and data-driven health. We’re joined by Rachel Sanders, Co-Founder & CEO of Rootine. We cover why the vitamin and supplement industry is broken, the ups and downs of being a founder, and advice for women founders.
“Feedback's a gift. The worst thing that you can have as a founder is someone ghosting you or not telling you what's wrong or what's right. If you know what's wrong, you know where to focus and know where to fix.” – Rachel Sanders
