The life of an entrepreneur is not all Forbes covers and unicorns. In fact, the opposite is true; most days are riddled with stress, anxiety, and doubt. The highs are high and brief, the lows are low and tend to stretch out. Managing your psychology during these long periods is| Emi Gal
My wife, Sabina, and her sister Julia have been working on a new startup for the past year — kahla.

I was having dinner with some friends a few evenings ago. To the amusement of my fellow dinner companions, after desert I pulled out a Fount pouch and gobbled up a dozen pills in a single mouthful. My friends were curious what the hell I'm doing, so I| Emi Gal

I spend a lot of time with AI researchers given my work at Ezra, so I've decided to organize a series of AI researcher dinners. Dr. Dan Sodickson, our Chief Scientist and the Chief of Innovation in the Radiology department at NYU will be my co-host. Each dinner will have| Emi Gal

I spend the last two weeks of every December planning the upcoming year. It's a process I really enjoy, and over the years I've developed a deceptively simple but highly effective personal objectives & key results (OKR) planning framework.

As mentioned in my research-based protocol for longevity, I am religious about blood testing and believe it's one of the best tools to help understand how each of my health systems is performing.
