Doug Wolkon is the founder of Kauai Farmacy, a seed-to-cup, herbal medicine grower and producer with worldwide distribution, and author of “The New Game: A Strategy to Reinvent the American Economy.” Wolkon represents the new generation of business leaders driving economic innovation for the survival of humanity and the future of our planet. After graduating from the University of Michigan, he spent 10 years in private-equity real estate finance where he was a partner and co-headed the acquisition group for a $3 billion fund based out of Connecticut. His finance career was followed by three years of studying economic theory and publishing his first book in 2007. After a familial health ordeal and subsequent awakening to what lies beyond conventional allopathy, Wolkon moved to Hawaiʻi in 2008, purchased property, and began stewarding the land and building medicinal herb and spice gardens with a team of gardeners and herbalists. Kauai Farmacy is now home to one of the most biodiverse collections of farm-grown plant medicine in the western hemisphere. This maverick company grows, harvests, cures, blends, and sells direct from farm-to-customer its medicinal herbal teas, superfood powders, tinctures, salves, serums, and other seasonal products. Doug advocates holistic living, self-care, self-empowerment, herbal medicine, and the optimal balance of nutrition, rest, and hydration as the most influential aspects of one’s health.
