In this episode of Heart to Hustle, Layla sits down with Dr. Stevie Ames Roberts and Dr. Bobby Johnson, the husband-and-wife duo behind Duo, the toothpaste tablet company revolutionizing oral care. Stevie, a general dentist with a creative background in music, and Bobby, an oral surgeon, met at Tufts Dental School, where their shared ambition sparked a vision beyond traditional dentistry. They dive into the challenges of launching Duo while managing their full-time careers, the trial-and-error process of developing their product, and the unexpected lessons they’ve learned as first-time entrepreneurs. They also discuss the importance of sustainability in oral care, why the industry has been slow to evolve, and how they’ve leveraged their unique skill sets to build a brand that blends science, wellness, and eco-consciousness. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about passion, partnership, and the power of innovation.
