And the best companies, like the most sort of world-changing companies are built from these asymmetric information situations. And when that collapses, all of a sudden, when everyone understands that, let's say, whole body screening can potentially change the world, well, by that stage, it's too late. The companies that are working on it will have already been working on it for like 10, 15 years.

The goal of the company really is to change this entire industry, turn it upside down from an industry that's very reactive, where we're afraid to learn about our health. It's a scary thing. I mean, the single biggest challenge my patients have to overcome is in coming in is the fear that the health system has put in their heads that anything we find might be life-threatening.

And the world we wanna create is one where you get a screening every year or so. It's like going to the dentist. We're checking to see how things are going. You will have disease, but because we're looking so routinely, we're going to find things very early. And we're going to find things so early that sometimes you don't even need medical intervention. You can just change your lifestyle.

And if you need medical intervention, it's going to be cheaper and it's going to be much more successful outcome for the patient and for the health system. That's the world that we're trying to create. You won't recognize it, I don't think. In the same way, I think people in 30 or 40 years will look back at the healthcare system today and they'll just shake their heads.

And for me, that it's incredible to be able to change, you know, work to change the industry and save lives in the process. I just feel so blessed to being able to do that every day of the week.

When I was in fourth grade, I remember a teacher brought in a video camera to videotape us. And I'm going to display my age here a little bit, but that was like the first time I saw a video camera. And the woman was filming us. And I just felt so fascinating. All these knobs were spinning around. And I just asked her, why is that? How is it working? What's going on here?

Why is that thing spinning? And the teacher got so upset at me, I got detention. But I think that's me. I have friends that they build a company, they sell it, and then they start the same company again, plus or minus 10%. And then they sell that. And they start the same company again, plus or minus 10%, and sell that. And it's probably a better way to be financially successful for sure.

But for me, it just feels very boring. So I've just always had this curiosity for learning new things. And that's why every one of my companies has been a completely new sector. I've done different roles in most of them. And I've been curious enough to experiment with what does it mean even to do it in different countries around the world? I don't know.

I just think that's what makes life interesting is that every day is going to be a constant challenge. That's what most people don't know about me is, yeah, I got attention routinely for just asking too many why questions at school.

The simple answer would be that I sort of wasted 10 years of my time before I figured out that building companies was the thing that motivated me. So my first company... I was, I think, 31, which is still young, but in Silicon Valley speak, that's kind of old when it comes to starting companies. That's the easy answer.
