In this episode of the Wealthing Podcast, host Alicia Castillo Holley sits down with Sam Shames, co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer of Embr Labs, a pioneering wearable tech company. From chilly MIT labs to the frontline of menopause care and stress management, Sam shares the origin story of Embr’s innovative wristband—designed to regulate body temperature and support wellness by tapping into the body’s natural thermoregulatory and neurological systems.

Sam reflects on a decade of startup growth, including his transition from COO to CRO, and how his journey from wrestling national champion to MIT-trained engineer shaped his approach to building and scaling a mission-driven tech company. The conversation explores how Embr Labs’ technology has found real-world applications in areas like menopause symptom relief, stress regulation, and thermal comfort, and what it means to grow a company grounded in both science and empathy.
