In this episode of Hidden Foundations, Kendall Schoenrock sits down with Archie Menezes to explore the life experiences that shaped his resilience, leadership, and entrepreneurial mindset. Archie shares how a head injury ended his banking career, brought him close to depression, and forced him to rebuild from rock bottom with the help of therapy, faith, family, and lifelong friendships.
The conversation moves from Archie’s childhood in India and his father’s sacrifice abroad, to the lessons of gratitude, support systems, and “fail fast” thinking. Archie also breaks down his current work in microbiome science, AI, precision medicine, and how gut health may shape the future of recovery, longevity, and pharmaceutical innovation.
