    From Pharma to Purpose: Stem Cells, AI, and Seasoned Entrepreneurship

    This week on Weeks Weekly, Ed Weeks Jr. reflects on a turning point in his entrepreneurial and personal journey—stepping into a groundbreaking stem cell project that reconnects decades of experience in healthcare, sales, and leadership with a deeper sense of purpose. What began as a simple conversation within his close network has evolved into a major opportunity to shape the next wave of regenerative medicine and AI-driven marketing. Ed traces the arc from his early career in Big Pharma—where corporate limits and poor leadership drove him away—to his renewed excitement for innovation that actually improves lives. This project, anchored in stem cell research, also connects to something deeply personal: advancing treatments for Parkinson's disease. It's not just about business growth anymore, but about creating social impact, legacy, and meaningful change. He shares hard-earned insights from thirty-plus years in entrepreneurship—how tempered excitement replaces youthful impatience, why execution now matters more than energy, and how faith, family, and a tight inner circle sustain progress when the path gets uncertain. The episode captures a quiet but powerful realization: purpose is the real profit. At 55, Ed's perspective sharpens around impact—on his family, his community in the Hudson Valley, and the broader ecosystem of entrepreneurs navigating midlife reinvention. He reflects on the shift from chasing wins to building systems, from noise to legacy, from hustle to alignment.
