A Serial Entrepreneur’s Quest To Save Lives After Saving His Own: A Candid Conversation with COVID-19 Early Treatment Fund Founder Steve Kirsch
COVID-19 Early Treatment Fund founder Steve Kirsch joins Aaron to discuss why he started the world's only organization 100% focused on funding the most promising drugs and treatments for COVID-19. A serial entrepreneur, Steve has dedicated over fifty years of his life to computer science and engineering and has used his success to launch several environmental, medical and local philanthropic projects. Diagnosed with a rare blood cancer years ago, Steve turned to world-renowned scientists to develop a treatment that has continued to be effective past his projected life expectancy. When COVID-19 took hold of the world, he knew he had a responsibility to turn to science once again and do what he can to help prevent hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations and possible deaths. Tune in to hear about Steve’s work and the process of getting involved in COVID-19 treatment research, and learn more about the organization at treatearly.org.
