Rootine: Building the Future of Vitamins, Micronutrients, and Data-Driven Health | Rachel Sanders, Co-Founder & CEO

We explore building the future of vitamins, micronutrients, and data-driven health. We’re joined by Rachel Sanders, Co-Founder & CEO of Rootine. We cover why the vitamin and supplement industry is broken, the ups and downs of being a founder, and advice for women founders. “Feedback's a gift. The worst thing that you can have as a founder is someone ghosting you or not telling you what's wrong or what's right. If you know what's wrong, you know where to focus and know where to fix.” – Rachel Sanders EPISODE GUIDE (LINKS, QUOTES, NOTES, AND BOOKS MENTIONED) https://www.danielscrivner.com/notes/rachel-sanders1-outlier-academy-show-notes  FULL TEXT TRANSCRIPT https://www.danielscrivner.com/notes/rachel-sanders-outlier-academy-transcript  CHAPTERS This episode is our definitive guide to data-driven changes to the future of vitamins and micronutrients.
