    I like to google these people when I notice that Mum is listening to them. Sometimes you find some information that they don’t advertise about themselves on their channel.

    For myself I wouldn’t bother because I tend not to pay attention to these people but unfortunately Mum does and it’s helpful to be able to check them out a bit and have a conversation with her about it.

    Plus having that conversation means I can talk to her about any health concerns she might be having and direct her to a better qualified person or source of information.

      Wikipedia for brevity: Andrew David Huberman (born September 26, 1975) is an American neuroscientist and podcaster. He is an associate professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Since 2021, he has hosted the Huberman Lab podcast, which despite its popularity has attracted criticism for promoting poorly supported health claims.[2][3][4][5][6] Huberman has promoted and partnered with health supplement companies.

    Saying something has chemicals and that’s bad (water is a chemical). “If you can’t pronounce it don’t eat it” (plenty of people can’t pronounce dihydrogen monoxide). Never addressing that different people might have different needs (not everyone reacts the same to the same diet). Uses BMI but doesn’t address why it’s a flawed calculation. Demonizes carbs or fats as a blanket statement. Organic is automatically better, no valid explanation. Instead of a cookie you can eat 78 servings of something that’s not like a cookie in any way shape or form (fat free unsweetened yoghurt whip, blueberries, jello with sweetener, cucumber slices). Unseasoned chicken

There is no such thing as the perfect pitch. But you can get close by implementing a few research-backed methods to your delivery, deck, and message.

In this episode of Build Mode, host Isabelle Johannesen sits down with Dr. Eike Gerhardt, who has aPhD in pitching and spent nearly a decade studying the science of startup pitching before starting Autopoiesis Sciences. And he’s joined by Demetri Maxim, co-founder and CEO of Nephrogen, who came in second at TechCrunch Startup Battlefield 2025.

Together, they break down Demetri’s actual Startup Battlefield pitch to unpack what worked, what could be improved, and what research tells us about how investors respond to founders. Eike explains why credibility signals matter, how technical founders can simplify without oversimplifying, and why Q&A should be treated as a second pitch. Demetri shares how he learned to explain complex biotech to generalist investors, how redesigning his deck changed his confidence onstage, and what he would do differently today.
They also explore how body language and authenticity affect a pitch, how investor questions can reveal bias, and how founders can use AI to prepare for difficult Q&A.
