    S3 • EP 27 The Truth About Beauty: What Brands Don’t Tell You (with a Formulation Scientist) | Dr. Maryam Mardkhe

    This episode explores the intersection of beauty, science, and wealth through the story of Dr. Maryam Mardkhe, founder of Stirbar Lab — a zero-waste, sustainable beauty lab where ancient rituals meet modern chemistry. Maryam’s journey begins in a land rich with poetry and art — where the first rose distillation took place over a thousand years ago — and evolves into a mission to redefine how we experience beauty today. She brings a rare blend of scientific precision and artistic spirit, showing how chemistry can become a creative language for self-expression, sustainability, and empowerment. At the heart of this conversation is a bold question: What if wealth wasn’t just about accumulation — but about creation, connection, and care?

    S3 • EP 26 Your Emotions Are Controlling Your Money with Dr. Antonio Forenza

    How neuroscience, emotions, and technology intersect to shape our financial decisions and long-term wealth.  Dr. Forenza — Mobile Technology Executive, Startup Founder, and Inventor with over 250 patents issued worldwide. He’s also an FAA-certified pilot and a pioneer in the intersection of neuroscience, mindfulness, and emotional well-being. Today, he’s building Awear, a wearable device designed to track emotions and improve mental health and performance. Our emotions silently control our decisions — including how we spend, save, invest, and build wealth. Dr. Forenza reveals how stress, anxiety, and depression are not just mental health issues but wealth blockers that sabotage productivity, creativity, and long-term success. He explains how Awear uses neuroscience and biometric data to track emotions in real time, helping people understand when they’re in states of stress or clarity — and how that awareness can improve financial decision-making, relationships, and performance.
