Diana Hall - ActivArmor
Hold onto your hats, this interview is with the incredibly smart, driven, passionate, successful founder of ActivArmor, Diana Hall
She is the poster child for girls and women in S.T.E.M industries and female entrepreneurs around the world. From a background in chemical engineering to building a innovative Bio-Med company, Diana shares the brutal honesty of what it took for her to get to where she is today. The inspiration and drive behind it all will encourage everyone to evaluate what they are put on this earth to do.
ActivArmor creates CUSTOM, 3-D PRINTED splints (they are a hard plastic and look like a spider web) that take the place of the traditional cast and/or splint. The benefits are too long to list and are already being worn by Children, athletes, diabetics, the chronically ill and thousands of others. Check out the website to get a visual and better understanding of how this looks and works. https://activarmor.com/

An Interview OF Kasten
In this episode we have switched things up a bit... this time someone is interviewing me. I've had a lot of people mention that they'd like to know more about me and my background. It's awkward and a little cheesy to sit down and record ones self talking about themselves so I thought I would share this interview someone did of me.
The interview was done in Sept of 2018 by a gentleman named Mark Stowers who has an online radio show. It was a lot of fun and we dive into some cool topics (mostly about life as an entrepreneur). Give it a listen and let me know what you think.
If you have someone you think I should interview for the Sophisticated Rebels podcast, please shoot me an email at: kasten@kastenspethmann.com.
I am always looking for more great sophisticated rebels to have on to share their stories and wisdom.
