70: From Lawyer to Drug Discovery Entrepreneur with Christina Barbato - a podcast by The Richard Dri Podcast

SP Nutraceuticals Co-founder, Christina Barbato, joins me on the podcast this week. Once a lawyer working in downtown Toronto, Christina left her job to work full-time with her company, SP Nutra, which takes scientific discovery and transforms it into consumable products that can treat disease. In her role, Christina takes these discoveries through patent and trademark protection, hires consultants to work through formulations, regulatory approvals and clinical trials, and finds well-suited partners with a shared vision to deliver these products to the world.

Today, Christina discusses her transition from law to the drug discovery business, relates the story of SP Nutraceuticals and its work, explains their product Metavo, and details her company’s funding and investors. She also delves into how a company like hers is valuated, how they market and grow their business, their biggest challenge these days, and her advice for those thinking of following her example. Our conversation concludes with Christina’s vision for the next 5 years, how she saves, invests, and protects her money, and an explanation of the ‘rule of 72’.
