An underground music scene, a crowded basement art studio/lab in San Francisco growing mycelium, and a couple of artists finding their way into biotech. For this pilot episode, our host Xavier Gallego, VP of Brand and Marketing, takes us on a journey to the origins of MycoWorks, with guests Sophia Wang, MycoWorks co-founder and Chief of Culture, and Matt Scullin, CEO of MycoWorks. It’s a conversation that explores MycoWorks’ deep connections to art, music, San Francisco community, what Sophia calls “weirdo research into science”—and how to build a company diverse enough to bring something new and very different into the world.In this episode:00:00 - Introducing MycoWorks Talks01:30 - First meeting at a rap show with Dr. Octagon08:15 - Matt's first visit to the basement studio of co-founder Phil Ross13:15 - Beauty &amp; creativity as a founding vision17:54 - Company growth during COVID &amp; beyond19:36 - Sophia's culture &amp; hiring philosophy23:33 - Diversity &amp; humility are keys to success29:38 - Trust your curiosityJoin us on our journey to Grow the Future of Materials: https://www.mycoworks.com/careersLearn more about MycoWorks: https://www.mycoworks.com Get closer to Reishi™: https://www.madewithreishi.com Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mycoworksTwitter: https://twitter.com/MycoWorksIncLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/mycoworks

Talk 01: Unfiltered Origin Stories with Matt Scullin and Sophia Wang

Matthew Scullin, CEO of MycoWorks, is attempting to reduce the carbon impact of the fashion industry by producing leather made from mushrooms as an alternative to leather made from cow hides or plastic. His product is called Reishi, and unlike conventional leathers it produces very little greenhouse gases. And because it’s grown in a laboratory to precise product specifications, it produces far less waste as well.

Innovation in Materials for a Better Climate: Matt Scullin, MycoWorks

Mycelium through the lens of materials science. Soft and fluffy mycelium isn't as feeble as it seems. Quite the opposite— it's industrial strength. A biotech company from the San Fransisco Bay Area is growing leather from fungi that outperforms animal hides and may be pivotal technology toward a sustainable future.Today we have the honor of speaking to a leading researcher and CEO of MycoWorks, Dr. Matt Scullin. As a materials engineer, Dr. Scullin takes us on a journey into the mechanics of mycelium to understand its impressive performance. His unique perspective as an engineer inspires new ways to see fungi. We lightly discuss the tricks of the trade, molecular structure, deficiencies in the science, and the importance of collaboration to advance the technology's infancy.Dr. Scullin is a materials entrepreneur who has pioneered several new materials into commercialization. He is currently CEO at MycoWorks, the leader in the field of fine mycelium materials (Reishiª). He is also the co-founder and board member of a stealth-mode materials company. In 2008, Dr. Scullin founded Alphabet Energy, the leader in the field of thermoelectric products for waste-heat recovery, and sold that company in 2019. Prior to founding Alphabet Energy Inc., Dr. Scullin held positions at X/Seed Capital, IBM, and General Motors. He has won numerous awards for innovation and entrepreneurship including the World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer award and was named to Forbes 30 Under 30.Show notes:Made with Reishi: www.madewithreishi.comMycoWorks: https://www.mycoworks.com/Instagram: @madewithreishiwww.mushroomrevival.comWe are a functional mushroom company and make 100% certified USDA Organic and Vegan mushroom supplements.
