Curiosity with Kristen

66. Zach Brooks, CEO of Ugenome AI

July 25, 2025 • Kristen Revell

Today’s guest, Zach Brooks, is anything but conventional. From his early days selling lemonade to fund his first big adventure, to building tech startups in the dot-com era, earning a PhD in Applied Linguistics, acting in Hollywood, and now launching his fifth company, Ugenome AI, Zach’s career is a tapestry of curiosity, creativity, and impact.

We explore his new book trilogy—including Discovering What Awakens You—and dive into his “Human Algorithm,” a powerful framework for living a meaningful life through academics, art, athletics, advocacy, adventure, and purpose.

We also unpack Ugenome AI’s groundbreaking work in personalized medicine—helping people understand which medications work best for them through a simple at-home DNA test, potentially saving lives and transforming healthcare.

This episode is full of reflection, humor, and hope. Whether you're into innovation, well-being, or simply finding your flow, Zach brings ideas that could change how we live and heal. Enjoy!
