Alana: So, Ron, you are the founder of AminoGenesis, so do you mind telling us a little bit

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of your background and where AminoGenesis came from and its kind of foundations.

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

Ron: You know what?

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
As with many great discoveries, total by accident.

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I was introduced to AminoGenesis--the base formula that became AminoGenesis by accident.

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I was playing golf with a retired Harvard-trained physician, and this was in my late 30s

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and this was 15 or 16 years ago and my skin was in such bad shape.

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I had gotten chicken pox when I was 28 years old.

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It left my skin absolutely hammered, discolored, very peeling and red.

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I was very, very self-conscious, very embarrassed, and he gave me some of this and said,

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"I think this will help."

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I said, "Well, where do I get it that?"

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, I used it and then like a couple months later, I went up to friends at a bar going like,

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"What did you do to your skin?

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It looks really, really good."

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And I'm very embarrassed about this, but it's true and I start explaining that I got this

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
special stuff from this doctor, and then the lady bartender reached over and said,

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"You know, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but where can I get some of that?"

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Well, that started it and it sort of started the whole ball-roll.

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, I went back and I started working with this doctor to try to understand what they've done,

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
why it wasn't available to the public, and over the course of the next few years,

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I actually acquired the rights to the formula and started AminoGenesis based on this one

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
base formula.

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And everything we do now is based on that individual first formula that was created

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that I discovered, you know, going on 15 years ago now.

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

Alana: Wow, that's amazing.

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Thank you for sharing that.
