Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship Executive Director Thane Kreiner on Science, Startups and Social Impact

Thane Kreiner is one of my heroes. As executive director of
Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship, Dr. Kreiner sets the
vision and trajectory for programs that empower students and
entrepreneurs to impact hundreds of millions of people around the
globe. Prior to diving into leading the center, Dr. Kreiner was
an entrepreneur himself, starting four biotech companies in the
span of just three years. Before starting his own companies, he
worked for 14 years at pioneering DNA-sequencing company
Affymetrix. After doing his undergrad at U.T. Austin, Dr. Kreiner
got both a Ph.D. in Neuroscience and an MBA from Stanford. No big
deal.


Thane has just written a new book called "Composition of Life: A
Memoir of Science and Spirituality," which you can check out
here. 


In this conversation, we dive into everything from deep sea
creatures to formative startup stories, big life decisions,
work-life balance and more.
