Light that Spark Fire Nation, JLD here, and welcome to Entrepreneurs on Fire, brought to you by High Level, the all-in-one sales and marketing platform. On today's classic episode, we'll be breaking down ketone IQ from DARPA lab to a gym or cafe near you, how to build a movement around a new technology. To drop these value bombs, I brought Michael Brandt into Eo Fire Studios. Michael is CEO and co-founder of Hvmn, creators of Ketone IQ, and he brings ketones to the mainstream backed by 16Z and a $6 million grant from the US military.

And today we talk about how to be unbusy. Most successful people have downtime. Focus on a niche that buys from you consistently and grow from there, and then keep your temple clean and owe so much more. And a big thank you for sponsoring. Today's episode goes to Michael and our sponsors.
