Founder Peggy Sutton shares her entrepreneurial journey with To Your Health Sprouted Flour Company, how the company has grown, and how its product line fits into the rapidly growing global market for real food.

I’m a big proponent of eating real food and believe that real food–like organic sprouted grains–is a linchpin in solving two major problems in Alabama: Chronic disease and also rural economic development.

Thanks to the willing support of her co-founder husband, Peggy’s company is now sprouting 10,000 pounds of grains and legumes each day and serves a global market.

You can purchase To Your Health Sprouted Flour Co. products through the company’s website.

If you want to learn more about how to prepare real food and real food fits into a healthy, happy life I hope you’ll check out my latest podcast, the Discover Grow Shinecast, and my soon-to-be-released ebook, 7 Days of real Food.

Soluble Therapeutics Inc. Eases Pharma R&D Bottleneck

July 6, 2015 by Sheree Martin

Episode 2 of Ignite Alabama features John McCarter of Soluble Therapeutics Inc. explaining the Birmingham biotech's technology

Soluble Therapeutics, Inc. was formed in 2008 to commercialize technology developed by UAB researchers. This HSC™ Technology helps to deal with a bottleneck in pharmaceutical R&D–the identification of appropriate biologic solutions to deliver protein-based drugs.

The  HSC™ Technology also has industrial applications.

In 2010 Dr. Joseph M. Garner came on board as CEO of Soluble Therapeutics, Inc. to lead the commercialization efforts and continue to validate the technology.

Director of Business Development, John McCarter, is the guest of this episode of Ignite Alabama. He began working with Soluble Therapeutics, Inc. in 2010 as an intern and moved through the ranks in business development.

He also describes some of the capitalization sources, which have included significant infusion from venture capital funds and a $1 million NIH grant.

Soluble Therapeutics, Inc. has a global customer base and John explains how he uses webinars, LinkedIn and other internet-based communications technology to complement his marketing efforts at international conferences.
