Today we’re sitting down with Dr. Peter Azmi. He’s an entrepreneur, scientist, artist, educator and ultimately a professional problem solver. He holds a Masters and PhD in cancer medicine from the University of Toronto and is a visiting professor of Business Innovation at the Monterrey Center for Higher Learning of Design, in Monterey Mexico.
Dr. Azmi is a business innovation and biotechnology specialist and has worked extensively in the life sciences and biotechnology sectors, helping launch multiple biotech startups along the way. He has been involved in entrepreneurship, innovation and scientific R&D for over 20 years and has seen the challenges within the industry first-hand.
Currently, he leads i+ Business Development Studios, an innovation strategy and business development agency. Dr. Azmi also teaches entrepreneurship and innovation to students around the world, helping the next generation understand stakeholder-centric principles of business design and strategy.

Philosopher and historian of science Dr. Justin Garson joins me to unpack The Madness Pill: One Doctor’s Quest to Understand Schizophrenia, the mid-century hunt for a pill that could temporarily induce schizophrenia so scientists could reverse-engineer a cure.
Dr. Jason Kelly, co-founder and CEO of Ginkgo Bioworks, joins me to unpack autonomous labs, what they are, why biology’s bench tooling barely moved in 20 years, and why the right analogy isn’t a subway or a car, but a Waymo. Is the biology singularity around the corner?
Cathy Tie (founder, Origin Genomics) and Prof. Jiang Xueqin (Predictive History) join me for a wide-open conversation on germline gene editing, the science, the ethics, and the geopolitics.
Jason Verbelli, founder of Galilean Variance and CEO/Lead Engineer at SEG Magnetics, argues that Einstein left a written test for his own theory: if the speed of light depends even a little on the motion of the source, relativity and Einstein’s theory of gravitation are false. In this interview we start from first principles and work up through John Searl, magnetic waveforms, free energy vs over-unity, the double-slit experiments, the Casimir effect, and what that would mean for energy, technology, and space travel.
In this episode of In Vivo, I sit down with Dr. Rasmus Rosenberg Larsen, Assistant Professor of Forensic Epistemology at the University of Toronto and author of Psychopathy Unmasked: The Rise and Fall of a Dangerous Diagnosis (MIT Press).
