Jim Gates

All right, Jim.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, Danny.

Thank you so much for coming, man.

We've been chatting for a while and trying to make this happen for quite a while.

Yes.

Yes, absolutely.

For people out there who may not be familiar with you, can you please give us like a brief background in your academic career?

And then after that, I kind of want to go back

backwards in time into your childhood and how you got started and all this stuff.

Oh, yeah?

And when did you create Jim?

10th grade.

so that's my early early trajectory you said you spent a lot of time reading comic books yes and you were really inspired at a young age watching a science fiction movie yes were you were you sort of like really interested in things like space travel or like bigger crazier ideas of of like the universe or was it all just were you just loving the

process of doing math and being obsessed with physics.

and like i said i don't know why but but that's my story the warmth is already drawing us out of hibernation this year and all it took was one hot day at the fair to remind me that festival time means hydration time and that's why i keep liquid iv's hydration multiplier on me at all times whether it's a three-day festival exploring the farmers markets or a 12-hour flight to a destination wedding

Liquid IV is superior hydration than just water alone.

And right now you can get 20% off with our code DANNY at checkout.

Whether I'm at the beach, at the golf course, or even at work, I always keep a stash handy.

I like it because it's simple and convenient.
