From Golf Balls to $141M: How Jim Donnelly Changed the Future of Wellness | Ep. 55
In this thought-provoking episode of A Healthy Point of View, Sam Tejada sits down with serial entrepreneur, military veteran, and health industry disruptor Jim Donnelly—co-founder of Restore Hyper Wellness and now founder of Humanaut Health. From scuba diving for golf balls at 21 to building one of the most talked-about wellness brands in the U.S., Jim shares the wild ride of entrepreneurship, the values that kept him grounded, and how a near-death car crash led him to revolutionize healthcare with regenerative medicine and precision diagnostics.
You’ll hear:
- Jim’s early business flops and wins (including a golf ball empire and Webby Award-winning startup)
- How he scaled Restore to 225+ locations and $141M in funding
- What inspired his new venture HumanNot, focused on health optimization and behavior change
- Why “biohacking” alone won’t save you—and what fundamentals actually matter
- The insider truth about private equity in wellness
Whether you're a budding entrepreneur, a medical pro ready to ditch the system, or someone on a health journey—this one’s packed with insights and inspiration.
