About this Episode

In this episode, listeners are presented with perspectives related to the ever-shifting mobility industry and specifically learn about the disruption being caused by new power train technology like battery electric.  Robi Mitra discusses how Bollinger Motors, the start-up making off-road electric trucks, continues to transform and gain access to critical capabilities to compete in the legacy automotive and emerging mobility industries. (He even teases some new announcements to come in June, 2019) An expert in both private equity and human capital, this episode discusses the linkages of needing to raise funds and gain access to critical skills in the era of IoT. Listeners will gain insight into observations of being an entrepreneur and working as the right-hand assistant to successful ones. Not many have the opportunity to work for and with even one highly successful entrepreneurial leader.  Robi has now done it twice, and draws lessons for the listener from his journey.

Ty Bollinger lost both of his parents and several other family members to the ravages of conventional cancer treatment. That led him to pursue nationwide and worldwide journeys to research natural cancer therapies that culminated in his two documentary series “The Quest for the Cures” and “The Truth About Cancer. A published author and frequent lecturer, Ty has made it his life mission to share what he learned from the doctors, scientists and recovered patients he interviewed.  

Much of his message is what we have been teaching at BeatCancer.org since 1977.

Join us for this podcast, and hear Ty’s thoughts about

• Why current cancer rates are skyrocketing
• Why conventional oncology will never win the war on cancer
• The real reason most doctors don’t know about natural therapies
• Four potent natural therapies for cancer
• Why Ty calls cannabis a superfood
• A non-toxic treatment that kills cancer while protecting healthy cells
• A virus that is selectively toxic to cancer cells
• Effective herbal remedies for cancer

Listen now as BeatCancer.org founder and educational director Dr. Susan Silberstein interviews natural cancer cure researcher Ty Bollinger.

Also at the beginning, pay tribute to Brandon Carlisle of Teenage Bottlerocket. Rest In Peace.
