I first saw this dude on his online commercial, where he discussed the arch in shoes as being contrary to proper foot health, totally contrary to the accepted established standard industry norms at the time. At the time he seemed a little out there, a fast talker, and a bit weird. When I noticed this gentleman in the thumbnail I had to click on it, just to see this dude again. After listening to this interview all I can say is that he's a very intelligent and extremely knowledgeable about the industry in which he operates. I really like this guy. He seems like the kind of guy who would be great to know as a friend. A dude you could discuss a wide variety of topics with, from politics to the Flat Irons in Boulder CO., and he'd be able to keep me engaged and interested in our conversation. He also seems to have a dry, somewhat sarcastic sense of humor, which he weaves within his intelligent conversations, conversations about topics that he seems to be both interested and well informed with. As far as from personal experience regarding my personal footware, I've always noticed that the flatter the sole in my shoes the better my feet feel and stronger my ankles, toes, and legs feel in general. Great interview and much respect to this man for his work and for rejecting an insulting offer from Mr. Wonderful, one of those people who completely discredited themselves endorsing FTX and by default, Sam Bankman-Fried.

Dude, what a great comment. We should have you write our descriptions from now on. Glad you found the episode interesting. Steven is a really quirky guy (the online commercial isn't too far off) however he's a very very smart quirky guy. We love him!
