Our guest this week is Tim Noaksmith.  Tim is the co-founder of one of the hottest early stage companies in Australia right now Vow foods. Vow is re-building our food system from the ground up, by making meat with animal cells, and not the animals themselves. Vow is part of a collection of companies that is developing the cultured meat industry. An industry that has the potential to solve one of the biggest questions out there, which is how do you sustainably feed 8.5bn people, without wrecking the planet and killing a billion souls per year.

As well as digging into the concept and ethics of the cultured meat evolution, you should listen to this podcast if you want to hear about what finding the intersection of innovation looks like in current environment.  We also talk about how Tim is using AGILE software development and human centred design at the heart of a food company.

Tim is right in the middle of the entrepreneurs’ journey and it was really interesting to see how his practice of vedic meditation and personal development is helping stay balanced under the blow torch of the demands of the tech start up world.
