from GSD Venture Studios Podcasts by Gary Fowler · host GSD Venture Studios
Join Adam Good, Founder and CEO of Auric Essentials, for a deep dive into the next frontier of health-tech and environmental design. While our modern spaces are "smart," they are often emotionally hollow. Adam explains how he is bridging the gap between digital transformation and human biology by turning scent our most powerful but neglected sense into a programmable, data-driven layer of ambient computing that optimizes for stress, focus, and sleep.🎯 Insights You’ll Learn:✓ Why modern workplaces are "emotionally under-designed" despite high tech✓ The science of scent as the most powerful, least instrumented human sense✓ Moving from "vibes" to systems: How to make human mood measurable✓ The rise of Mood-as-a-Service™ and why it will become standard infrastructure✓ How to close the loop between behavioral data and adaptive environments✓ Lessons from a CDO background in scaling $1B P&Ls into a hardware startup✓ The intersection of human wellbeing and scalable, recurring revenue models🌍 Why This Matters:We’ve automated our lighting, temperature, and sound, yet we still live in static environments that ignore our emotional regulation. As global stress levels rise, the ability to design "calm and clarity" into the physical world is shifting from a wellness niche to essential infrastructure. Adam Good is leading the charge in transforming how we experience the spaces where we live and work.👤 Expert Background:• Founder & CEO of Auric Essentials, an Australian health-tech leader• Former Chief Digital Officer with 30+ years in global digital transformation• Scale Expert with experience managing P&Ls approaching $1B• Innovation Leader at the intersection of data, creativity, and human performance🎙️ Hosted by Gary Fowler, CEO of GSD Venture Studios — global AI entrepreneur, investor, and innovation leader spotlighting founders navigating the realities of building in the AI era.💡 Perfect For:PropTech founders, health-tech innovators, workspace designers, IoT developers, and executives interested in the future of ambient computing and human performance.🚀 Timely Topic:In a world of burnout and "always-on" digital noise, the next generation of smart tech isn't about more screens—it's about invisible, adaptive environments that support our biological needs.Subscribe for more global founder conversations from GSD Venture Studios:https://gsdvs.com]#AmbientComputing #HealthTech #ScentIntelligence #MoodAsAService #PropTech #DigitalTransformation #StartupFounders #GaryFowler #AdamGood #GSDVentureStudios
