Fireside Chat: Experiments Worth Running

​Some people dream about bold ideas. Others run the experiments.

​This fireside chat brings you into live conversation with Brian P. Hanley, PhD, a microbiologist, economist, and entrepreneur who has built a life around testing the boundaries of science, finance, and human resilience.

​Brian is best known for designing and testing a gene therapy on himself when no one else would back the idea, and for creating a bold new banking model to rethink how innovation is financed.

​Across all of his work, one theme stands out:

​👉 Run the experiments in what you love and in life itself.

​What We Will Explore

• ​What drives someone to self-test a therapy in pursuit of longevity

• ​How financial theory can itself become an experiment in creativity

• ​What founders can learn about risk, courage, and conviction

• ​How to live a life where experimentation is not only accepted but encouraged

​Schedule

• ​6:00 PM – 6:30 PM: Doors open and community gathering

• ​6:30 PM – 8:00 PM: Fireside Chat with Brian Hanley + Q&A

​Come ready for stories that are as wild as they are inspiring, and leave with a challenge to start running experiments of your own.​

​Come have a drink, meet new friends, be inspired, make plans, and take action on your big ideas. ​
