As half of the leading force behind Serenity Kids, the fastest growing baby food brand on the market, Carr is committed to creating the most premium, low sugar, high fat, organic, and ethically-sourced products he can in order to make a positive difference. Carr is autistic, but was misdiagnosed during his childhood with ADHD. He struggled with peers and teachers who didn’t know how to handle his big energy. His mom discovered his passion for the performing arts, and he channeled that energy into theatre and dance. He thrived there and soon became a professional child actor in Kansas City. Carr also suffered from a multitude of physical health problems and ingredient intolerances which lead to constant stomach pain, picky eating, obesity, anxiety, and insomnia. Because of his rough childhood, he decided to focus his efforts on making the world a better place for children. Joe and his wife, Serenity, launched Serenity Kids with only two products online, synchronistically the same day they welcomed their baby girl, Della, into the world. Carr is also a certified life coach and educator devoted to personal empowerment and social justice.

Ben Salem is the inventor and founder of WaveBlock, and I guess you could call him an  "accidental entrepreneur" because circumstances in 2020 and concern for the well-being of his children compelled me to take action. Ben had observed his kids spending increasing amounts of time on Zoom calls during the Covid pandemic. It began to alarm him when he saw research suggesting that children's brains absorb 10 times the radiation as an adult skull and that many countries have banned Wi-Fi from nurseries and kindergartens. Lab tests tell the rest of the story. He discovered that, yes, indeed, there are EMFs emitted from earbuds, so he developed a product that deflects and diminishes their effects. Ben also realizes that electronic devices are here to stay, so he is committed to making the world a bit safer - one device at a time.[00:03:20] - What is EMF?[00:04:00] - Health issues which arise due to EMF[00:08:20] - How did you develop the WaveBlock Technology?[00:15:55] - What else have you discovered in the process of creating it?[00:26:15] - Why can we still hear the music playing even though the signals and radiation are blocked?[00:30:41] - The Magic Ingredient[00:34:28] - What should people be looking for if they already have an EMF-blocking device?References & Links: Website: WaveBlockInstagram: WaveBlockBig thanks to our sponsor!
