Joel’s inspired journey from severely injured cyclist to wellness entrepreneur
By Peter Bowes, host of the LLAMA Podcast
Joel Einhorn lives life at a pace that sometimes defies gravity. The extreme sports enthusiast is an avid athlete – a cyclist, snowboarder and surfer. His enthusiasm for the fast life almost ended in tragedy while training for an ironman triathlon, but the accident, in Prague, ended up opening Joel’s eyes to a new world of medicine. The founder and CEO of HANAH, a supplement company that embraces ancient wisdom and modern day science, is on a mission to preserve – and make more accessible – healing techniques from eastern medicine. In this LLAMA Podcast interview with Peter Bowes, Joel reveals the aha moments that inspired his journey from severely injured cyclist to wellness entrepreneur.
