Guest Title: Moran Snir, Founder and CEO, Nest Genomics

When you reflect on your work over decades, do you ask “Am I doing the same thing?” or do you look for where the problem has evolved, and where you, and the work, has evolved to meet that new challenge?

That mentality, and faith in the freedom of thought that drives imagination and innovation have shaped the success of our guest today. Moran Snir is the Founder and CEO of Nest Genomics, an AI-native platform designed to implement genomics at scale, but she is also a serial entrepreneur, the daughter of a medical geneticist, and the mom of three boys for whom she is modeling the normalcy of women in the C-seat. Her humility and thoughtful nature bely her mammoth success, and she is the first to tout her team and her community as the real rockstars.

Moran has devoted her career to one mission— using technology to make genomic health and precision medicine accessible to all. Prior to Nest, she founded Clear Genetics, including the GIA™ chatbot platform, which was acquired by Invitae (NVTA) in 2019. At Invitae, she led the Software and Data organization. Her first company was MorNetware, which developed Genometer—a platform that supported ethnicity-based carrier screening for more than 90% of pregnancies in Israel for over two decades. Moran served as an officer in the Israel Defense Forces’ elite software unit and holds a B.S. and M.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Tel Aviv University, as well as an MBA from the Wharton School. She is a two-time Y Combinator alum.

Guest Title: Christine Knapp, Founder, MindWire: Coaching with Christine

What if leaving that bad job or escaping the money pit or breaking into that new role was really just one decision away?

As a NeuroCoach, Christine Knapp believes that it can be, with a little bit of positivity and some practical brain rewiring. A recovering perfectionist and people-pleaser herself, Christine gets what it means to live on autopilot—and how powerful it is to finally break free. In July 2023, Christine made a bold leap—leaving her role as Performance Coach Manager of a national franchise to launch MindWire: Coaching with Christine, her own coaching practice rooted in brain-based transformation and personal alignment.

Christine works with high-achieving women who are ready to break free from overthinking, burnout, and impostor syndrome. In this episode, we talk about her own experience with imposter syndrome, and the silver linings she’s so famous for finding. Christine brings a science-backed, deeply human approach to helping her clients rewire limiting beliefs, lead with clarity, and reignite their energy around a life and purpose that truly fuels them—mentally, emotionally, and professionally.
