Dialing in from Dubai, today, we hear from global inventor and investor, Saba Yussouf, about how to position STEM technologies – science, technology, engineering, and math – to prevent infection, treat water, and even fight 100-year problems like climate change.

Half business leader and half scientist, herself, she is a futurist, versed in the fine-tuned details of STEM, and putting it all to work through her disruptive investment record around the world. We learn about nanobubbles and their benefit to the brain, unpack the power of intuition and where it comes from, meet the monstrous homunculus, and so much more.

We also highlight Saba’s most recent projects, Invisi Smart and Ficks Labs, tip our caps to groundbreaking research of the past, and look to a brighter (and smarter) future in this forward-thinking conversation. If you need to feel good about where the world is headed, and who might lead us there, this is the episode for you.
