Founding Father Jacobus

Dr Garth Japhet is no ordinary doctor. His medical degree only made him realize that he needed to use the power of stories to communicate health to audiences. This resulted in TV shows like Soul City, various feature films and incredible projects that truly touch lives. As the CEO of Heartlines, an organization that encourages people to live out positive values. 

Yvotte Brits is a nuclear engineer from South Africa, currently residing in The United States. With $2.5 Billion from the United States Energy Department, Yvotte and the X-Energy team had to persist for twelve years to get to this breakthrough point, while adjusting their families to a world of change.
