Description
On this episode of The Accutron Show, Bill, David and Scott meet with an eclectic and fascinating personality, Alex Ott. Biochemist, author, molecular biologist, flavor scientist and healer, Alex has traveled the world and has been consulting and inventing for health science and biotech companies in the fields of phytology, biochemistry, and olfactory neuroscience in food & beverage projects, revolutionizing a whole new field in plant science-based product developments. After surviving a harrowing plane crash that killed 101 people, Alex gained a new sense of life and dedicated himself to multiple professions. Tune in to discover the incredible life journey of Alex Ott.Episode Highlights9:00 Preparing drinks in bars made me the "shrink" of Manhattan, trying to help clients with their problems without having anything to do with mixology. I simply applied flavor chemistry and olfactory neuroscience to drinks and added vitamins to it the natural way. That caught on to people.31:00 I was a lucky guy that switched the ticket with another guy to get on an earlier flight. I was living in Thailand working on storyboarding for a movie; I was dating an actress that was working on that movie. We broke up, so I bought a ticket for the following day, and the flight I was on crashed. That experience changed my life again. 35:36 On May 5th I will be part of the "Once Upon a Kitchen" event in Miami with Chef, Massimo Bottura. In the previous edition, I set up a little rain forest on the rooftop of The New World Symphony in Miami where people were picking herbs that went into special drinks I crafted for them and for their mood.
