In episode 335, we welcome our guest, Thomas Eiden, founder of Atomic Alchemy, a company dedicated to producing radioisotopes used in nuclear medicine.     In today’s episode, we’re going nuclear! Thomas is undertaking the audacious goal of building a nuclear reactor, something that takes almost a decade and roughly 100 million dollars. We start with what sparked his interest in nuclear energy and what gave him the nudge to apply to Y Combinator and raise seed capital with just a business plan. We take some time to dispel myths around why nuclear energy is dangerous and then pivot to talk about the uses in the medical field, whether it’s with MRI’s or trying to fight cancer.      Please enjoy this episode with Atomic Alchemy’s Thomas Eiden.        -----     Follow Meb on Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube For detailed show notes, click here To learn more about our products and follow us, subscribe to our mailing list or visit us at cambriainvestments.com.     -----     Today’s episode is sponsored by The Idea Farm.
