de Philipo. Growing up with scarcity and lack of food forces us to focus on survival.

0:10.3

This type of inward thinking largely precludes having the time or energy to look at the big

0:14.5

picture. Today's guest, Navine Jane, while he grew up sometimes not knowing if there would

0:19.3

be food on the table or not, he's thinking both very small and very, very large. Navine

0:25.2

runs a portfolio of businesses being a serial entrepreneur. However, his primary endeavours

0:29.8

these days include looking at our gut biome and the bacteria that live in it and their

0:35.3

ability to cause or prevent disease. However, he's also pushing forward to get us to the

moon. Yeah, I know we've been there, but Navine wants to mine it for resources that are

on planet earth. It sounds a bit like science fiction, which makes sense coming from someone

1:27.5

have this kind of engine. Do you know this kind of engine? And I started to do the research

1:31.6

and I thought, okay, he runs three companies or is it only three companies or are there

1:38.1

weird forgetting a few here? I'm listening. Okay. And then you have three kids. Are you aware
