Ken Guoin built Ophora around a simple premise: most people underestimate how much their water quality affects their health, from what comes out of the tap to what they absorb in the shower. He joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour to explain how he arrived at that premise and what his company does to address it.
The conversation covers the full range of Ophora's approach — home filtration, shower systems, pool water, and hyperoxygenated water — with Guoin making the case for why water deserves the same scrutiny people give to food. It is a founder's-eye view of a product category most listeners rarely think about.
