In this episode of the Silicon Oasis Spotlight, we sit down with Zach Brooks, founder and CEO of Eugenome, to discuss the journey that shaped both his life and his company.
From traveling across seven countries and working as a Hollywood actor to building a healthtech startup, Zach shares how resilience, rejection, and purpose became the foundation of his entrepreneurial journey. We explore Eugenome’s mission to make healthcare more personal by combining genomics, microbiome insights, epigenomics, and data science to help people make small lifestyle changes that lead to better health outcomes.
Zach also reflects on his experience as a two-time kidney transplant recipient, the responsibility he feels to advance human health for future generations, and why he believes healthcare must move beyond quick fixes toward a more holistic, human-centered approach.
This conversation covers entrepreneurship, resilience, health innovation, and the power of purpose-driven leadership—all through the lens of one founder working to improve lives across Arizona and beyond.
