Listen "OROS: Michael Markesbery"
Episode Synopsis
Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Michael Markesbery, Co-Founder and CEO of OROS, an astronaut inspired clothing brand. Michael recalls the struggle of trying to stay warm in freezing temperatures, without looking like the Michelin Man. Taking inspiration from an Astronaut Scholarship, Michael obtained the material known as aerogel to insulate space suits, and transformed it into a patented composite, known as SOLARCORE; claiming to be the warmest insulation on Earth. Listen as Michael shares stories on his upbringing, fascination with space, and the development of OROS. (Listen closely towards the middle of the episode, for a surprise collaboration, heard first on the Starting Small Podcast).
