(Bonus Episode)Book 101 Review, in its fifth season, features Daniel Tausan as my guest.

Daniel Tausan Know a little bit about everything to be part of anything Daniel Tausan holds a graduate degree from the University of British Columbia in Stem Cell Biology with a Bachelor of Science in General Biology. He worked in research in the molecular profiling of exercise, looking into comprehensive blood panels in search of biomarkers for predictive health analytics with Molecular You and UBC’s School of Kinesiology to develop methods for biological age calculation. He spent his early 20s with the Canadian National Waterpolo Team and coached the next generations of athletes to participate in the youth Pan-American games and World Championships. He personally trained clients for general fitness goals and athletic performance and continued to share the biological knowledge of the molecular world from his scientific pursuits. Asthma, allergies and gastrointestinal challenges throughout his early years kept him eager to explore regenerative principles and the healthcare systems. Although the academic and industry surrounding the molecular biological revolution were exploding few professionals were present to help the public interact and integrate with the newfound biological knowledge. With a love for education and working directly with people he stepped away from academics. He launched Timeline Sciences to put “you” on the timeline aligned with your unique genome and goals.

(Bonus Episode)Comedy 101, in its third season, features an engaging conversation with Leanne Linsky, comedian and entrepreneur, and Founder and CEO of Plauzzable. In this episode, Leanne shares insights on blending humor with business acumen, offering

Leanne Linsky Comedian & Entrepreneur (Founder/CEO of Plauzzable) In 2001 I enrolled in my very first comedy class. Five years later, I packed two suitcases and moved to New York to pursue comedy full-time. I performed, produced, and hosted a weekly open mic for over 7 years and produced and hosted a weekly stand-up show in New York’s East Village. I wrote, performed, and produced my critically acclaimed one-woman show in NY, DE, and DC. Eventually, I moved to LA only to find myself spending more time on the freeway than on any stage. I continued to perform and produce weekly shows (and even co-hosted a podcast for a few years!), but getting from show to show was time-consuming. As a performer, I needed more opportunities for a live audience, real-time feedback, and opportunities to earn money doing comedy. In August of 2019 BC (Before COVID), I began experimenting with online open mics using existing technologies. Although many of those same technologies got us through a pandemic, they weren't designed for live entertainment. I went back to school and earned a master's degree in innovation and entrepreneurship to learn how to scale my idea. As soon as I graduated, I was accepted into an incubator and Plauzzable was hatched. More about Plauzzable: Plauzzable is disrupting the fragmented comedy industry for comedians and fans. Plauzzable is a LIVE online comedy club. We provide comedians scheduling tools, virtual stages, ticketing services, and the ability to grow a worldwide fan base. These features give comedians control of their earning opportunities. For fans of comedy we provide access to a global talent pool and more personalized live online show selections and interactions.
