In this Win-Win episode, I explore the strange but promising innovation of cultivated meat; meat that is 100% real animal tissue, but instead of growing on an animal's skeleton, it is grown in a bioreactor. I chat with Uma Valeti, CEO and founder of Upside Foods, to why he decided to give up his career as a cardiologist to bring this technology to market.
