The Longevity Molecule That Has Scientists Talking: Can ESS60 Help Protect Your Mitochondria? What if one of the most fascinating discoveries in longevity research wasn't developed for medicine—but was discovered while scientists were studying carbon? In this episode of the Health Business Growth Show, Tim sits down with Chris Burres, founder and chief scientist of MyVitalC, to unpack the remarkable story behind ESS60—a Nobel Prize-winning carbon molecule that unexpectedly became the focus of one of the most talked-about longevity studies in history.

Most nine-year-olds don't map out their life for the next two decades—but Bo Eason did, and it took him straight to the NFL. Then he did it again—this time as a playwright, storyteller, and speaker who's worked with everyone from Morgan Stanley to small business owners trying to find their voice. In this episode, Bo opens up about how owning your story isn't just inspiring—it's essential if you want to lead, connect, and grow. If you've ever wondered how to stand out in a noisy space, Bo's got some seriously good advice. You'll hear how Bo's approach to storytelling is less about having it all figured out and more about being real—and showing up like it actually matters (because it does). He shares how becoming the product—truly living what you teach—creates trust faster than any script ever could. We also get into how mastery in one part of life spills into everything else, and why courage (not perfection) is what makes people lean in. And Bo's "No Plan B" mindset? It hits different when you hear the story behind it. If you've been playing it small or hiding behind the scenes, this one's for you. Bo reminds us that your story is your superpower, especially in the health space where people crave realness more than ever. His take on stepping up, speaking out, and sticking with your dream is refreshingly honest—and honestly, really motivating.
