Host Phaidra Knight guides guest Sean James as he traces a remarkable arc—from a Midwest upbringing and NFL backfields to New York deal rooms and wellness innovation—showing how the habits of team sport translate into building companies that solve real problems. He opens the door on O2 Capsule Box’s Japanese roots, explaining why moving from soft shells to commercial-grade, stand-up metal capsules unlocked durability, safety, and comfort. We get into what pressurized oxygen actually does: increase dissolved O2 in plasma, boost blood flow, reduce inflammation, and speed tissue repair. Then we connect the dots to everyday wins like better sleep quality, steadier energy, and clearer focus, plus use cases for athletes facing head knocks, older adults managing cognitive decline, and anyone stacking recovery tools like red light or cold exposure.
