Addressing Root Causes of Metabolic Health Issues Through Nutrition

Growing up on a farm in Finland and training as a physicist, the path to entrepreneurship might not have been an obvious one for Sami Inkinen. But to date, he has founded two companies: Trulia, the online real estate marketplace that IPOed and eventually sold to Zillow Group in 2015, and Virta Health, the modern healthcare solution on a mission to reverse type 2 diabetes in 100 million people. If that weren’t enough, Sami is an endurance athlete who has completed seven ironmans and set a record for rowing 2,750 miles from California to Hawaii to raise awareness about the dangers of the American diet. Sami shares how a personal health scare motivated him to launch his second company, how leaders must get comfortable making decisions with the absence of perfect information, and why going slow actually allows you to go fast when building a company.
