Who Is Behind Bryan Johnson's Brand?
Kate Tolo is the person behind Bryan Johnson's brand. She is his co-founder, and a lot of people do not realize she is there. She also says she is his girlfriend.

Five years ago they had 2,000 Instagram followers. They now have that documentary and 6 million followers, and they just raised $60 million from a lineup that runs to Kim K, Paris Hilton, and Jay Shetty. Press alone reaches about 300 million people a month. What she thinks is unusual is doing this in more than one place: social, press, and newsletters. When they started, she did not know what the word marketing meant. She learned it on the job.
