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

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of your background and where AminoGenesis came from and its kind of foundations.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

Ron: You know what?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As with many great discoveries, total by accident.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I was introduced to AminoGenesis--the base formula that became AminoGenesis by accident.

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

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and this was 15 or 16 years ago and my skin was in such bad shape.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I had gotten chicken pox when I was 28 years old.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It left my skin absolutely hammered, discolored, very peeling and red.

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,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"I think this will help."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I said, "Well, where do I get it that?"

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,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"What did you do to your skin?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It looks really, really good."

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

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
special stuff from this doctor, and then the lady bartender reached over and said,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"You know, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but where can I get some of that?"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Well, that started it and it sort of started the whole ball-roll.

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,

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,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I actually acquired the rights to the formula and started AminoGenesis based on this one

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
base formula.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And everything we do now is based on that individual first formula that was created

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that I discovered, you know, going on 15 years ago now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

Alana: Wow, that's amazing.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Thank you for sharing that.
