In this episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, Jimmy sits down with entrepreneur and innovator Kirk Oimet, a visionary in technology, AI, and health. Kirk shares his remarkable journey from his early tech ventures and Snapchat exit to building Phi Health, a company using cutting-edge science and artificial intelligence to transform the way we think about supplements and personal wellness.
The conversation begins with Kirk demoing the Stack, Phi Health’s beautifully designed 28-day vitamin system that uses micro-encapsulation to time nutrient release and improve absorption. From there, Jimmy and Kirk explore the broader vision: integrating wearables and real-time data into personalized health recommendations powered by AI.
As the episode unfolds, the discussion widens to cover the future of artificial intelligence, robotics, and society itself—touching on topics like GPT-powered humanoids, the ethics of alignment, universal basic income, faith, and what it means to thrive in a world where machines can do much of what humans once did. Grounded, insightful, and forward-looking, this episode offers both practical lessons in entrepreneurship and big-picture reflections on the future of humanity.
