Ann Low

Ann is a serial entrepreneur, author, and cancer advocate. After her own cancer diagnosis in 2014, Ann, who spent several decades as a surgical assistant to a glaucoma specialist, recognized how little she knew about the cancer journey, even with her vast medical background. This raised a question in her mind, “If I found the experience difficult, what must it be like to have no medical background and receive a cancer diagnosis?” This question was the impetus for her to pen, Holy Crap I Have Cancer! Now What? What to Expect When You Weren’t Expecting, a book that assists patients, who are newly diagnosed with cancer through their treatment and into survivorship. Ann has spent nearly a decade as the Executive Director of a Phoenix based non-profit, Hearts of Stone, whose mission is “to develop entrepreneurism in at-risk children and to transform the organizations that support them.” Besides her advocacy, Ann is a mom, wife, and caregiver to her elderly parents, and likes to dabble in several different mediums of art. Most recently, she is a co-founder of Cancer Fund.

Pierre Wijdenes

Pierre is the founder of Neurara. Neuraura’s mission is to unlock safe and effective treatments for brain-related disorders. Neurological, psychiatric and sensory conditions are a global epidemic with a burden on society that is greater than cancer and cardiac conditions combined. Current treatment options are severely limited due to a legacy of stigma, our poor understanding of the brain and practical challenges in targeting drugs, such as the blood-brain barrier. For some conditions, such as epilepsy, surgical intervention is proven to be one the medically proven best options available today. Neuromodulation, or the electrical stimulation of specific neurons, has been shown to be effective at the research level to treat a broad range of conditions including Alzheimer’s, addiction, depression and chronic pain. Neuraura will unlock these treatment options by using its proprietary sensing technology to understand the electrical workings of the brain for personalized and adaptive brain care.

Genesis of Heart Investors

This podcast will interview “heart investors” weekly that come from every walk of life – such as individual cancer survivors who are giving back, caregivers who have lost loved ones who are trying to save the lives of others, families who have been burdened with a hereditary disease, entrepreneurs who are tackling major problems, and more. The mission of the Heart Investor Podcast is to learn people’s stories and share them to inspire others to do the same. As I’ve said for many years, “One of the most virtuous things we can do when we go through a difficult experience is to help others who are going through a similar circumstance, or better yet, help others avoid it. If we can inspire more people to become Heart Investors, we will recruit an Army of Innovators to truly create a better world.” We hope you will tune in every week to hear us interview Heart Investors from across the world and learn how you can become one too.
