This week’s American Alchemist is Rob Rhinehart: Rob is the founder of Soylent, partner at Mars Bio, and author of the blog mostly harmless. He’s incredibly intelligent and incredibly eccentric. He lives on a secluded Malibu with goats and horses and eats homemade ice cream all day. He also dabbles in poetry. John Fiorentino, his neighbor, is the founder of gravity blanket (one of the most successful Kickstarter campaigns in history), Moonpods, birthdate candles, and now MoonPals. He’s an outspoken marketing genius with a chip on his shoulder.
