In this episode, I sit down with Kion founder, Angelo Keely, to discuss all things amino acids and how his passion for wellness and personal development unfolded over the years. Angelo shares how his unconventional upbringing and several traumatic events at young ages shaped him, how his trauma recovery inspired an exploration into wellness, and how he continues to develop his health knowledge today. We also discuss what amino acids are and why they’re essential for our bodies, how amino acids affect focus and brain health, and the difference between amino acids and protein. Finally, Angelo shares how he built Kion and why he chooses people over ideas, and what his experience has been like as a working father.
