Description:

Parker Olsen is the founder and CEO of Forij, a company dedicated to harnessing the power of functional mushrooms for health and wellness. With a background in management consulting, Parker developed expertise in project management and organization, but soon realized that the lack of autonomy in his role left him searching for a more fulfilling path. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to launch his own ventures, drawing from a lifelong curiosity about human optimization, neuroscience, and nutrition.

A former Ironman competitor, Parker brings the same level of discipline and passion to his exploration of mushrooms—from edible and medicinal varieties to their cognitive and physiological benefits. His work bridges the gap between cutting-edge science and everyday wellness, making functional mushrooms more accessible to the public.

Beyond his work with Forij, Parker has a keen interest in artificial intelligence and its applications in business and content creation. He has explored the potential of AI in refining copywriting and enhancing communication, demonstrating his forward-thinking approach to technology and innovation.

With a unique blend of business acumen, scientific curiosity, and firsthand experience in endurance sports, Parker continues to push boundaries in both entrepreneurship and personal development.
