About this episode

Joel Kocher discusses his journey from Dell to founding Humann and the significance of nitric oxide in health.

Today on The Casey Adams Show, I sat down with Joel Kocher, founder and CEO of Humann. Before launching Humann, Joel served as President of Worldwide Marketing, Sales and Service at Dell, where he joined in 1987 when the company was doing $100M in revenue and helped scale it to $3.6B by 1994, becoming the #2 executive behind Michael Dell. In this conversation, we get into Joel's journey from architecting Dell's explosive growth to founding Humann, why nitric oxide is the super molecule behind cardiovascular health and longevity, his legendary showdown with Steve Jobs at Power Computing, healthspan vs. lifespan, why paranoia is a survival tool in business, and how he balances endurance training and family with building companies.
