Jason Karp: Live A Healthier Life [The Knowledge Project Ep. #163]

Jason Karp was living what he thought was a successful life in his 20s. He graduated near the top of his class from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and was well on his way to becoming a successful hedge fund manager.

But when he noticed a series of health issues cropping up – including the frightening diagnosis that he would go blind by the age of 30 – he made a series of life-altering decisions focused on his health and wellness.

Learn the food choices he made that saved his life and valuable insights into what you can do to live a healthier life.

Karp is the Founder and CEO of HumanCo., a private holding company that invests in and builds brands focused on healthier living and sustainability, including Snow Days, Cosmic Bliss, and True Food Kitchen.

He also co-founded Hu Products and Hu Kitchen, and Hu is now one of the fastest-growing snacking companies in the U.S. with a strict focus on transparent, simple ingredients to help everyone live a healthier life. Before founding Hu, Karp was the founder and CEO of Tourbillon Capital Partners, an investment fund that managed over $4 billion.
