Inventing Tomorrow Podcast

Kevin Coker

Host

Kevin grew up in Little Rock, AR and is a self-described tinkerer.

“When I was a kid I was fascinated with taking things apart… car engines, lawnmowers, radios, my Tandy 1000... even our kitchen refrigerator when I was twelve. My problem was putting things back together.“

As Kevin’s gotten older, he’s become a better builder, particularly constructing companies. Although, he keeps the occasional project car in the garage. He now runs one of the fastest growing contract research organizations geared towards emerging life science companies. Kevin's interest has moved from taking things apart to putting together insightful conversation from real innovators to build a podcast focused on inventing.

Isabella Schmitt

Host

Isabella is a New Orleans native turned Houstonian after being transplanted post-Hurricane Katrina.

She has always had a strong entrepreneurial spirit. As a child, Isabella started a part-time detective agency to track down lost ID's & animals and may or may not have been known on the block for her successful garage sales. After all these years, she still retains her strong affinity for helping others and oversees hundreds of medical device and pharma projects at Proxima CRO.

Isabella is a partner, judge, mentor, and speaker for multiple healthcare accelerators across the country. She is also a partner at M1 MedTech, an accelerator and startup studio. (In other words... she’s totally a Carrie, but with a dash of Samantha and Miranda.)
