0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:34.840
<v Speaker 1>where we are today regarding the global health pandemic. Dr

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Shantown new Nandie is chief medical officer at the private

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 1>healthcare data and solutions company Accolade. His former health technology

0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:43.640
<v Speaker 1>advisor to the World Bank. His new book, Here After

0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:46.920
<v Speaker 1>COVID with the Pandemic Revealed, is Broken in Healthcare and

0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>How to Reinvent It. He joins us on this Tuesday

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:52.000
<v Speaker 1>on the phone in Washington, d c um, it is

0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:54.600
<v Speaker 1>so nice to have you here with us. Dr Nundee.

0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Tell us, first of all, how are you and what

0:00:57.480 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 1>are you seeing when it comes to COVID and the

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:02.880
<v Speaker 1>vaccine rollout and kind of where we are so far. Yeah,

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing great. Thanks so much for the opportunity to

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 1>be here. UM and uh yeah, I mean absolutely, uh

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, incredible times we live in. UM. You know,

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I think what we're seeing is, you know, certainly so

0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I still get a chance to practice UM at a

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 1>small safety net clinic outside of d C, largely serving

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 1>a pretty vulnerable and uninsured population, and it's it's been

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:27.399
<v Speaker 1>really promising, I would say, you know, increasingly, I'm I'm

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:30.360
<v Speaker 1>seeing patients who have been fully vaccinated. UM. I think

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:34.840
<v Speaker 1>hesitancy has come down significantly. UM. And I think it's

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:38.039
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing many more people coming back for routine medical care,

0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.520
<v Speaker 1>which has been good to see. UM. And my other

0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 1>hat at Accolade, where we work with employers large and

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:47.960
<v Speaker 1>small all around the country. I think real major topic

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>of conversation right now is Okay, well, what's next, Like,

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 1>what do we have to do now to safely get

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 1>our employees back in the office and how do we

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 1>start to loosen the reins on what's been a pretty

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>strict UH control up until now. Well, Dr Nundy what

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.559
<v Speaker 1>do we have to do Because we know that the

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 1>US will not reach vaccinations for many reasons. One, it's

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 1>not a proof for kids, but to there are still

0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 1>adults who are hesitant. The President does plan to announce

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>today that he's targeting seventy of US adults getting the

0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.639
<v Speaker 1>vaccine shot by July fourth. How is he going to

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 1>do that? Yeah, I mean, I think what we've seen

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:25.640
<v Speaker 1>around the country is that really that hesitancy and access

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 1>are heavily correlated. Right if we can make it too

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 1>dead simple for people to get the vaccine, that itself

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 1>moves a significant portion of the population board to wanting

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.639
<v Speaker 1>to get vaccinated. And so I think the idea of

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 1>taking sort of mass vaccination sites that in some places

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 1>aren't needed anymore and sort of deconstructing them and saying, hey,

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.399
<v Speaker 1>how do we actually just push this out into communities

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 1>and maybe directly into holp um so that you have

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:50.760
<v Speaker 1>so much showing up in your doorstep saying hey, I

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.440
<v Speaker 1>have the vaccine right now if you want it. I

0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 1>think that's going to help us get to that next

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.360
<v Speaker 1>sort of uh, you know, five percent that we need

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:00.679
<v Speaker 1>to to continue to push forward. Sounds like a Jane

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 1>J one shot would be the perfect vaccine for that. Absolutely,

0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:07.600
<v Speaker 1>I think you know that. It's really interesting that you

0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:09.600
<v Speaker 1>say that, because I think the science of the Jane

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 1>J vers the other vaccines are are somewhat similar. But

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 1>I think from a delivery perspective that's sort of blast

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.360
<v Speaker 1>mild perspective. I think Jane J would be a really

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 1>powerful tool in our tool hit. So okay, so what

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 1>do you think we need to do to get those

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>people who are hesitant? We've made a lot of progress

0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 1>in a relatively short period of time in terms of

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:34.760
<v Speaker 1>getting vaccines into American's arms. So what is the thing

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 1>that is ultimately holding it people back at this point?

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Is it access or is it just discomfort? Yeah, it's

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:44.560
<v Speaker 1>a good question. It's it's definitely multiple things. I mean,

0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 1>I think access is still an issue, you know, I think, um,

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.400
<v Speaker 1>particularly when you think about you know, for some people,

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.520
<v Speaker 1>particularly those are more residents, where they want to learn

0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 1>about the vaccine, where they want to get it, frankly,

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 1>is what their primary here doctors are an healthcare setting

0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and still you know, like my clinic as an example,

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 1>we actually have community partnership. We can we have a

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 1>sort of a large vaccination side at a church that

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.160
<v Speaker 1>we have. But if you see me today in clinic,

0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I can give you a flu shot, I can get

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.520
<v Speaker 1>to a shingle shot. I cannot give you the COVID

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.159
<v Speaker 1>vaccine in the course of a normal clinic visit. And

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.719
<v Speaker 1>so I think that's one piece of it, um for sure.

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 1>I think another pieces we needed to make the incentive

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 1>of getting vaccinated much clearer for people. I think we've

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:28.560
<v Speaker 1>been cautious. I think that's been good, but I think

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.000
<v Speaker 1>we need to make much clearer if you get vaccinated,

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.119
<v Speaker 1>here's what that's going to mean for your life, whether

0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:34.919
<v Speaker 1>that's your work or your personal life. We need to

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 1>sort of up to the annie on the benefits for

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 1>those who are vaccinating. Do you think the CDC has

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:42.599
<v Speaker 1>been too hesitant to do that? With messaging like this

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 1>would have been more effective had the CDC from early

0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:46.680
<v Speaker 1>on come out and said, hey, when you are six

0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:48.840
<v Speaker 1>weeks past that first shot, when you're two weeks past

0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.160
<v Speaker 1>that second shot, you are free to go back to

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 1>living your normal life. Yeah, I think they've been more

0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:57.880
<v Speaker 1>I think they've been a little too cautious, and that's right.

0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if the exact guidances is is what

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 1>you're saying, But I think it's right. What I'm saying

0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.719
<v Speaker 1>is like should should they? Should they be doing that?

0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Should they be? Or or some sort of closer return

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 1>to normalcy and something sooner. Yeah, I think that's exactly right.

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Uh And and I think part of the messaging too

0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:20.560
<v Speaker 1>is it's got to be just much more understandable for

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:22.400
<v Speaker 1>people about what it means for the things that matter

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 1>to them. There's sort of a design element, if you would,

0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>how we're communicating that I think is also been missed

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.240
<v Speaker 1>as well. So I want to talk about your book,

0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.360
<v Speaker 1>if we may, because it's called Care after COVID with

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 1>the pandemic revealed? Is broken in healthcare and how to

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:36.720
<v Speaker 1>reinvent it? And safe to say that we've had a

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.839
<v Speaker 1>lot of conversations about disruption we have left for you know,

0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:44.159
<v Speaker 1>reporting after the close, like they disrupt transportation and kind

0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 1>of the driving world, if you will. What's interesting is

0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:50.680
<v Speaker 1>healthcare has been I think one of those areas that

0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:52.599
<v Speaker 1>most people would agree it's taken a while for it

0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:54.560
<v Speaker 1>to be disrupted and still has a long way to go.

0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:57.160
<v Speaker 1>You talk about in this book that if the health

0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:00.200
<v Speaker 1>care system were an Emperor COVID nineteen tragically review that

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>it had no clothes. So what do we learn from

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:08.719
<v Speaker 1>these past twelve thirteen months. Obviously telemedicine, that's the obvious one,

0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:10.840
<v Speaker 1>and I'm guessing it's going to stay with us. But

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:14.360
<v Speaker 1>what else? How do we move towards a more transparent, efficient,

0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:19.520
<v Speaker 1>productive healthcare system? Yeah, so I think there's two elements

0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.440
<v Speaker 1>of what we learned, right. I think one is just

0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:25.120
<v Speaker 1>this idea, this sort of magnification of the longstanding failures

0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 1>of the health care system. Right. I think it's hard

0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.839
<v Speaker 1>to find people these days that don't deeply understand how

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:35.719
<v Speaker 1>inaccessible health care is, how inequitable health care is, how

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.640
<v Speaker 1>inefficient it is. And I think that matters because I

0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 1>think what was a reality for pockets of Americans for

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 1>a while, you know, those with multiple chronic conditions, those

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.760
<v Speaker 1>who are lower income. I think now is a shared

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.720
<v Speaker 1>lived experience of nearly all of us, Right, We've all

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:52.000
<v Speaker 1>had that experience of you know, how do I get

0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 1>a vaccine um and navigating that, how do I get

0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.160
<v Speaker 1>a task? And and I think that that actually matters

0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:01.680
<v Speaker 1>in terms of the sort of public being able to

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:04.479
<v Speaker 1>move forward to better care models. The second thing we

0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:06.920
<v Speaker 1>learned is that actually health care can be way more

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.920
<v Speaker 1>flexible in a crisis than we thought. Right. I think

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:12.960
<v Speaker 1>even the most sort of expert folks didn't expect that

0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 1>clinics like mind, in the course of two weeks would

0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 1>go from never doing any virtual visits to nearly virtual

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 1>um within a two week span. Right. I don't think

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.000
<v Speaker 1>we expected that we'd be able to spin up drive

0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 1>through testing. Right. We've for for decades now we take

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.480
<v Speaker 1>people that are sick, coughing and sneezing on each other

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 1>and we put them in a waiting room to cope

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.040
<v Speaker 1>on each other. And now we have a better way

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.760
<v Speaker 1>to do that. We scale that. We're also using data

0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:40.800
<v Speaker 1>in new ways. Right, So in my clinic, we've had

0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.240
<v Speaker 1>an electronic record for a long time. This is one

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.560
<v Speaker 1>of the first times we've taken data out of there

0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:48.680
<v Speaker 1>and used it to proactively call people who are who

0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 1>are sicker or higher risks that needed a vaccine. And

0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 1>so I think that that's a huge part of what

0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 1>we've learned too, is that change is possible, and I

0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.840
<v Speaker 1>think that the demand for that change is greater than ever.

0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.760
<v Speaker 1>And I have to say that having experienced a virtual

0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:04.800
<v Speaker 1>visit with a doctor and I thought, this isn't gonna work.

0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 1>How is he going? You know? And it was pretty

0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 1>comprehensive and incredible, And as a result, I was much

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 1>more involved because I had to do things that he

0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.640
<v Speaker 1>would have been normally doing to be without getting too specific,

0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 1>but it but it was interesting that I was much

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.720
<v Speaker 1>more involved and thoughtful in my questions as a result

0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 1>because I was understanding what was going on. It's been

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:26.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean for me, it's been hit or miss. It's

0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:29.720
<v Speaker 1>been really good. Yeah, from a pediatrician perspective. Being able

0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:31.960
<v Speaker 1>to connect with our pediatrition has been really good. But

0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 1>for for you know, I thought I hurt myself riding

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:36.680
<v Speaker 1>my bike over the summer, and it was like, you know,

0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.400
<v Speaker 1>the doctor couldn't like actually check to see if I

0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.679
<v Speaker 1>was heard by pressing on all the areas that he

0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:45.520
<v Speaker 1>would normally press on. Right, it's not perfect. So so

0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:50.400
<v Speaker 1>what is the next iteration of this? Dr Nundee. Yeah,

0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 1>I think we're healthier needs to go and I think

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 1>we one of the things that we're missing is a

0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:57.040
<v Speaker 1>clear vision of where we need to go. And what

0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:58.640
<v Speaker 1>I've sort of described in the book is that I

0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.319
<v Speaker 1>think healthier needs to become just pributed. It needs to

0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:04.400
<v Speaker 1>become digitally enabled, and needs to become decentralized. And what

0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean by that is distributed means care is is

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 1>care happens, where health happens. It's closer to where patients

0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.280
<v Speaker 1>are at home, in the community, increasingly on their phone.

0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.199
<v Speaker 1>To your point, it can't just be about virtual only.

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 1>That's an important one, but that sometimes you're going to

0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.480
<v Speaker 1>need to see a doctor in person. But it doesn't

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.840
<v Speaker 1>mean that care can't start closer to home. And then

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.520
<v Speaker 1>in some cases maybe home visits that makes sense. In

0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:31.560
<v Speaker 1>some cases that may mean employer on site clinic, So

0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.400
<v Speaker 1>that's sort of distributed. Digitally enabled is really thing. Look,

0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 1>the real role of data and technology and healthcare is

0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:41.440
<v Speaker 1>to extend the relationships that are central to care. Right.

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 1>We think we've all learned during the pandemic that trust

0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 1>is essential and that trust between a patient and provider

0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:49.320
<v Speaker 1>is ultimately what drives a lot of the outcomes. But

0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.480
<v Speaker 1>up until now, a lot of the technology investments you've made,

0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:55.000
<v Speaker 1>it's frankly been neutral to negative on that relationship. The

0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:57.360
<v Speaker 1>e m R, the Electronic medical record being the best

0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:00.280
<v Speaker 1>example of that. And then decentralized. We need to put

0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.600
<v Speaker 1>way more resources in the hands of frontline health workers

0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and patients. Right. So, one of the things I advocated

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.600
<v Speaker 1>on early on was, you know, when everyone was concerned

0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:11.240
<v Speaker 1>about testing, testing, test, and they said, well, we said, well,

0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:13.440
<v Speaker 1>why don't Why can't patients just test themselves at home?

0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Because a lot's absurd, you know, the patients can't do that,

0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.080
<v Speaker 1>and and and and so we had these stories of

0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:22.240
<v Speaker 1>people saying hundreds, sometimes over a thousand dollars just to

0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:25.400
<v Speaker 1>get a test for COVID. Today, you can walk into

0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:28.959
<v Speaker 1>a CBS from Walgrain and for for fourteen dollars, you

0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.760
<v Speaker 1>can get two kids of fourteen dollars of kids, and

0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.520
<v Speaker 1>in fifteen minutes on your kitchen table, you can test

0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:38.400
<v Speaker 1>yourself for COVID and get a pretty accurate answer. That's

0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.160
<v Speaker 1>the direction I think we need to go. So, so,

0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.080
<v Speaker 1>what are the permanent changes that you would like to

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.560
<v Speaker 1>see in order for us to be prepared for what

0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:48.320
<v Speaker 1>we not affectionately, not so affectionately called the next pandemic? Like,

0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.520
<v Speaker 1>do we need to have the vaccination infrastructure already in

0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:53.600
<v Speaker 1>place so we can respond right away? Do we need

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.960
<v Speaker 1>to have the testing infrastructure already in place so we

0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:57.360
<v Speaker 1>can respond. Do we need to change the way we

0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:02.440
<v Speaker 1>do emergency use authorization with the FDA so they can nimble? Yeah?

0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:04.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, honestly, it's all of the above, I think.

0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.080
<v Speaker 1>In addition, I think a lot of the ones that

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:10.000
<v Speaker 1>you just suggested or from a public health perspective, I

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:13.520
<v Speaker 1>think about it also from a healthcare deliveries perspective. Right, So,

0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:16.839
<v Speaker 1>for example, if we can distribute more care to people's homes,

0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:19.640
<v Speaker 1>what that means. It's like the classics, you don't want

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.680
<v Speaker 1>to put all your eggs in one basket. It's when

0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:25.640
<v Speaker 1>you rely on a hospital and that hospital, funnily is overwhelmed.

0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Guess what happens? Like you can't do elective care, you

0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:31.440
<v Speaker 1>can't safely hospitalize people. And we saw that too, and

0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:35.800
<v Speaker 1>so actually sort of spreading out where care happens into

0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:38.120
<v Speaker 1>more sites would actually enable us to be much more

0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:40.840
<v Speaker 1>resilient when those things happen. UM. A big part of

0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:43.120
<v Speaker 1>this is about data. I mean the fact that we

0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:46.480
<v Speaker 1>couldn't even answer simple questions like at any given day,

0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:49.439
<v Speaker 1>how many people in this country are hospitalized with COVID,

0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.000
<v Speaker 1>let alone, how many of them are or African American

0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:55.480
<v Speaker 1>or Latino or let alone what your outcomes are. It

0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.440
<v Speaker 1>is an absolute travesty, especially given that we've just spent

0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.680
<v Speaker 1>billions and billions of dollars on taking health information and

0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:05.200
<v Speaker 1>making a digital and so we absolutely need finally solve

0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:08.559
<v Speaker 1>this interoperability issue for many reasons, but one of them

0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:10.400
<v Speaker 1>is so that you know, we can be much more

0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.319
<v Speaker 1>responsive so that when we have a pandemic, we're seeing

0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 1>the data, we're understanding the complications, and we're being able

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:20.680
<v Speaker 1>to understand what treatment are and are not working. Isn't

0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.440
<v Speaker 1>the endgame here in terms of what we've learned over

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 1>the last year that if you're a healthy individual, no guarantee,

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:30.520
<v Speaker 1>but you're much more likely to be able to fight

0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:33.640
<v Speaker 1>a virus or some other disease or ailment. You've got

0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.400
<v Speaker 1>a chapter and here about patient directed empowering people to

0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.400
<v Speaker 1>guide their own care, and you talked about being a

0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.040
<v Speaker 1>third year medical student going through the hospital and how

0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.520
<v Speaker 1>you kept seeing patient after patients suffering from health problems

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:49.880
<v Speaker 1>that were completely preventable. And are we ready for a

0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:54.080
<v Speaker 1>wellness health care system that's about keeping people away from

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:57.679
<v Speaker 1>doctors out of hospitals, which, as you know, is quite

0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:02.880
<v Speaker 1>the financial and business Jugger not right now, Yeah, absolutely.

0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I Mean one of the other stories in the book,

0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 1>and one that's really close to me because involves my

0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:08.839
<v Speaker 1>own mom, is the fact that you know, my mom

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.240
<v Speaker 1>is that diabetes types of diabetes for twenty years and

0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:14.199
<v Speaker 1>on inflant for ten she kept hearing all these reports

0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.439
<v Speaker 1>that hey, you have diabetes, your risk of COVID higher

0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:19.000
<v Speaker 1>to your point, right, and she said, I can't, I

0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.240
<v Speaker 1>can't handle this anymore. And so she signed up for

0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:26.679
<v Speaker 1>a program that got her seven help coach, connected her

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.160
<v Speaker 1>with the peer someone else who also has diabetes and

0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.800
<v Speaker 1>comes from the same culture that we do, got our

0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 1>virtual care doctor, and within a month, my mom went

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.920
<v Speaker 1>from being on influence for ten years, never having your

0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:41.640
<v Speaker 1>sugar control, to being completely off of influence and and

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:44.960
<v Speaker 1>and achieving a state we call diabetes reversal. And so

0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:46.720
<v Speaker 1>I think that you know, with the third wave of

0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:50.160
<v Speaker 1>digital help that we've seen, um, some of these models

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:53.040
<v Speaker 1>that are coming out, I think are exactly the direction

0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:55.920
<v Speaker 1>we need to go to say, we don't need yet

0:13:56.080 --> 0:14:00.240
<v Speaker 1>necessarily another drug for diabetes that's one percent better for

0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:02.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, a hundred times the cost, but we need

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.520
<v Speaker 1>to start putting our investment from an ni AH perspective,

0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.760
<v Speaker 1>from a payer perspective is and the idea of actually

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:13.559
<v Speaker 1>preventing disease or or actually reversing or controlling disease. So

0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.839
<v Speaker 1>where does that education start though, because it doesn't necessarily

0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.360
<v Speaker 1>we don't want it to take a pandemic for for

0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:26.440
<v Speaker 1>that to happen yesterday, right, absolutely not, absolutely not. And

0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 1>where does it start? I mean, I think it starts

0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:31.560
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of places. But I think at least

0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:33.240
<v Speaker 1>the world that I think a lot about is is

0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:37.000
<v Speaker 1>the employer world. I think employers are are are heavily

0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:40.120
<v Speaker 1>incentivized to manage the health of employees, not only because

0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:44.440
<v Speaker 1>they manage their medical costs, but also because that that productivity,

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.720
<v Speaker 1>whether it's you know, missing uh, you know, work for appointment,

0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:52.120
<v Speaker 1>whether it's mental health, those things affect their bottom line significantly.

0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.560
<v Speaker 1>And but I think that, you know, there's been a

0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.040
<v Speaker 1>little bit of a lag in that world where you know,

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.680
<v Speaker 1>some of the solutions that they're that they they're supporting

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.280
<v Speaker 1>aren't necessarily the ones that are getting to that. There's

0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.880
<v Speaker 1>this whole cottage industry of people that are still saying, hey,

0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, by fit for all your employees, I mean,

0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:11.800
<v Speaker 1>that's not really been proven to work, and so I

0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.720
<v Speaker 1>think that's where I think some education needs to happen.

0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:18.000
<v Speaker 1>It's actually unlocked in scale. Well, I gotta tell you,

0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.400
<v Speaker 1>interesting conversation. Interesting book you talk about checklist for every

0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:23.360
<v Speaker 1>decade of life you know of just how to keep

0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:26.000
<v Speaker 1>yourself healthy so that you don't get to a situation

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:30.440
<v Speaker 1>where you're ill. Really great conversation. Dr Shantau Nandie. He's

0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:32.880
<v Speaker 1>chief medical officer at the private health care data solutions

0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 1>company Accolaid, former health technology advisor to the World Bank.

0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:38.520
<v Speaker 1>And that book that we talked about care after COVID

0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:40.800
<v Speaker 1>with the pandemic revealed is broken in healthcare and how

0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:43.480
<v Speaker 1>to even invent it. My guesses will continue the conversation

0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:46.640
<v Speaker 1>he has here in his book in the future. Look,

0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:48.760
<v Speaker 1>one thing that I was thinking about the entire time

0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Dr Nundie was speaking is about education and thinking about

0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:54.920
<v Speaker 1>how healthy lifestyle starts at such a young age in

0:15:54.960 --> 0:16:00.280
<v Speaker 1>the connection between mortality, comorbidities, and um. Well, we need

0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.040
<v Speaker 1>to do as Americans in order to make sure that

0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:06.560
<v Speaker 1>we become healthier as a whole in order to be

0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:10.960
<v Speaker 1>because look, it's all about being on the defensive when

0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:12.680
<v Speaker 1>it comes to our health. We do with driving, we

0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.000
<v Speaker 1>do with other things, and it makes sense with healthcare.

0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:19.760
<v Speaker 1>This is Bloomberg Business Week with Carol Messer and Bloomberg

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Quick Takes Tim Stinovic on Bloomberg Radio. Yes, Bloomberg terminal

0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:28.000
<v Speaker 1>readers and users are reading this big time. It's the

0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.160
<v Speaker 1>most read story about the bank. But bosses who are

0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:33.640
<v Speaker 1>looking to say so long to remote working, Tim, well,

0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:36.240
<v Speaker 1>you know what, It turns out that the bosses wanted

0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:40.440
<v Speaker 1>the underlings don't really want it as much. Jenny Serena's

0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:43.040
<v Speaker 1>finance reporter for Bloomberg News and joins us on the

0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:46.400
<v Speaker 1>phone from here in New York. Jenny, Okay, what is

0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:51.760
<v Speaker 1>the disconnect between management and employees. Management wants people back,

0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:55.720
<v Speaker 1>but employees are saying, hey, not so fast. I think

0:16:56.000 --> 0:17:00.480
<v Speaker 1>the disconnect really comes in that employees are, um, just

0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:03.760
<v Speaker 1>wanting more flexibility on a more permanent basis. So even

0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:05.960
<v Speaker 1>if they're open to coming back, and even if they

0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:08.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, are wanting to see their colleagues and be

0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:10.880
<v Speaker 1>in the office again, they want the ability to work

0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:13.199
<v Speaker 1>from home, um, you know, one or two days a

0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.359
<v Speaker 1>week and kind of decide when that is an option

0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:17.680
<v Speaker 1>for them. Um, I think a lot of the web

0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 1>just comes from the fact that we've had obviously this

0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:23.399
<v Speaker 1>really terrible hard years. Thanks process have been you know,

0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:26.480
<v Speaker 1>storing through the roots. People are obviously productive. Um, so

0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:29.000
<v Speaker 1>they're just like, hey, we've we've done our best, We've

0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.600
<v Speaker 1>done a great job. Can't you trust us with this decision?

0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:33.840
<v Speaker 1>This is like I could see a toddler. Okay, um,

0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:36.840
<v Speaker 1>little little Johnny, I need you to do this? Why

0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:40.000
<v Speaker 1>well because I need you back? Why well, because I

0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.679
<v Speaker 1>need you back? Um well, we're productive, so why do

0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:45.960
<v Speaker 1>you need me back? Like I could, like, you know, profitable.

0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:48.560
<v Speaker 1>The banks have done really well. We know that you

0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:51.840
<v Speaker 1>know that, Um, it's working. We heard from a lot

0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:54.399
<v Speaker 1>of these big bank execs early on are saying listen.

0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:57.440
<v Speaker 1>I think I remember James Gorman work in Stanley saying, hey,

0:17:57.440 --> 0:17:59.320
<v Speaker 1>this is kind of working. Maybe we reduce our real

0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:03.439
<v Speaker 1>estate footprints. So do they need to make the case

0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:06.440
<v Speaker 1>to the underlings in order to get them back and

0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:09.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, or does it not really matter that underlings

0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:13.159
<v Speaker 1>ultimately you've got to come back. No, I think it

0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:16.199
<v Speaker 1>definitely matters. I mean, I think these these executives are

0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.320
<v Speaker 1>realizing that a lot of this just messaging and kind

0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:22.280
<v Speaker 1>of making it clear you know, why they want folks back,

0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:24.280
<v Speaker 1>not just you know, this is the day we expect

0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:26.360
<v Speaker 1>you to be here. Um. And I think a big

0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.640
<v Speaker 1>thing that's driving that actually is um. You know, it's

0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:32.200
<v Speaker 1>not that they really think that every single person needs

0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:33.920
<v Speaker 1>to be in the office so that they can monitor

0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.720
<v Speaker 1>them and track them. I think a large thing is culture.

0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:38.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, these thanks that really are seeing their cultures

0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:42.119
<v Speaker 1>kind of break down and degrade, um young people. You know,

0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:45.040
<v Speaker 1>there's so much training that happens kind of in person.

0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:47.240
<v Speaker 1>They haven't really been able to replace that in the

0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:49.639
<v Speaker 1>remote world. So I think that those are things that

0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:51.720
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to kind of align people around and make

0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:54.240
<v Speaker 1>them realize like, hey, someone did this for you, you

0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:57.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of need to pass it on to the next generation. Um.

0:18:57.119 --> 0:18:58.840
<v Speaker 1>But so much of that is just the messaging, and

0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:01.360
<v Speaker 1>I think these like be handed memos that come out

0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:04.280
<v Speaker 1>that's really where the rob is is kind of um

0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:06.920
<v Speaker 1>you know taking place. Hey Jenny, where does burnout come

0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:09.280
<v Speaker 1>into this? And to what extent can can burnout be

0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:13.480
<v Speaker 1>tied to remote work? Yeah? I think I mean that

0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:16.360
<v Speaker 1>is a huge one. I think, especially given the burnout

0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:19.280
<v Speaker 1>that we're seeing among junior bankers. UM. I think a

0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:21.359
<v Speaker 1>lot of bankbots just seem to think that that is

0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:24.960
<v Speaker 1>really because there's no outlets for these guys, um you know,

0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:27.000
<v Speaker 1>on the weekends or anything like that, and so they're

0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:30.359
<v Speaker 1>just always working and always on, always logged in. And

0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:32.560
<v Speaker 1>for some reason, I'm just thinking of the show industry.

0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but I mean it's very it's very Hollywood.

0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:39.119
<v Speaker 1>What what we're hearing and seeing out there is. I

0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:42.720
<v Speaker 1>think these guys are tired, and they've been working super hard,

0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:45.880
<v Speaker 1>super long hours. And I think banks think that um

0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, having that office environment, having a way to

0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:50.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, a little bit of camaraderie in terms of

0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:52.480
<v Speaker 1>working with others, but then having a way to blow

0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:54.720
<v Speaker 1>off team after work, whether that's the gym or going

0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:57.720
<v Speaker 1>out for drinks or doing dinners or whatever, um, you know,

0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I think their their hope is that that will, um

0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:02.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, really help on the burnout front. I thought

0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:05.800
<v Speaker 1>it was really interesting your story. You guys cite um

0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:08.320
<v Speaker 1>an accent or survey a for inn North American financial

0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:12.560
<v Speaker 1>services executives and you and the survey kind of points

0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:14.760
<v Speaker 1>out a little bit of the disconnect between what bosses

0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:18.080
<v Speaker 1>want for office work and the reality, uh they're expecting

0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:21.320
<v Speaker 1>because we have heard from a lot of employers financial

0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:24.360
<v Speaker 1>sector or others right about reducing their real estate footprint,

0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:28.280
<v Speaker 1>which to me sends a different message potentially. Yeah, I

0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:31.080
<v Speaker 1>think so. One of the other things I think is

0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:34.040
<v Speaker 1>driving this and um and will be interesting to kind

0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:35.919
<v Speaker 1>of see how it plays out, is just over the

0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:37.880
<v Speaker 1>course of the last year, we've all done so much

0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:41.240
<v Speaker 1>more digitally than we ever had before. Um So, banks

0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:44.040
<v Speaker 1>as they're able to like invest more in technology and

0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:46.479
<v Speaker 1>people are comfortable with doing all of this digital stuff,

0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:48.440
<v Speaker 1>they're able to I think, cut a lot of jobs.

0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:50.119
<v Speaker 1>And so I think some of what we're going to

0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:52.320
<v Speaker 1>be feeling seeing on the real estate front is just

0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:55.680
<v Speaker 1>the fact that they're you know, able to reduce their

0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:58.639
<v Speaker 1>their actual headcount as well, just because so many, so

0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:01.879
<v Speaker 1>much more is happening, you know, in an automated digital way.

0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Um and it's happening much faster because the pandemic has

0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:07.520
<v Speaker 1>just made us all that much more comfortable with that stuff.

0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Do you anticipate that there will be some sort of

0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:16.640
<v Speaker 1>hybrid environment with these banks and you know, I mean

0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:19.240
<v Speaker 1>even I don't want to say permanently because We don't

0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:21.040
<v Speaker 1>don't know what it's going to look like, but every

0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:24.480
<v Speaker 1>return to office kind of has this asterisk right where

0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:27.359
<v Speaker 1>it's where it's hybrid, where it is not every person

0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:29.320
<v Speaker 1>every day because of social distancing, Like, what does that

0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:32.639
<v Speaker 1>look like a year from now? Yeah, it's a really

0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:35.920
<v Speaker 1>good question. I mean, I think, to be honest, I

0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:38.560
<v Speaker 1>think the banks that offer more flexibility, it sounds like

0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:40.199
<v Speaker 1>they're going to be the winners in terms of the

0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:43.159
<v Speaker 1>war for talent, especially with women. We had that in

0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:46.320
<v Speaker 1>the story today that just women are really craving that flexibility,

0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:48.640
<v Speaker 1>especially after being given it for much of the last year.

0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:50.760
<v Speaker 1>So I think, you know, the banks that offer it

0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:53.960
<v Speaker 1>will probably have a little bit of a leg up um.

0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:56.800
<v Speaker 1>But then you know, we've got two really vocal banks

0:21:56.840 --> 0:21:59.080
<v Speaker 1>out there, JP Morket and Goldman Sachs saying no, we

0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:01.240
<v Speaker 1>believe in the future of the office and we want

0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:03.280
<v Speaker 1>you guys back in. So I think there's a little

0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:06.440
<v Speaker 1>bit of kind of war. Are the world's happening here? Um,

0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:07.960
<v Speaker 1>And it'll be kind of interesting to see how it

0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:09.760
<v Speaker 1>all shakes out. Yeah, I do wonder where we're going

0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:11.399
<v Speaker 1>to be, like a year from now with all of

0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:15.120
<v Speaker 1>this that's hard to say. Great story, Jenny Seraine, thank

0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:17.119
<v Speaker 1>you so much. It is among our most read on

0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:21.199
<v Speaker 1>the Bloomberg Today. Jenny Seraine, of course, Bloomberg News finance reporter,

0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:24.119
<v Speaker 1>joining us on the phone from New York City. You know,

0:22:24.280 --> 0:22:26.520
<v Speaker 1>good questions you pose, and I guess time will tell

0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:28.560
<v Speaker 1>about how this plays out. I think there's also some

0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:30.600
<v Speaker 1>sort of element of like a self fulfilling prophecy here.

0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Right when one bank does it, other banks do it.

0:22:32.600 --> 0:22:34.399
<v Speaker 1>And then when you start to see people back at

0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:36.320
<v Speaker 1>the office, more and more people hopefully want to get

0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:38.640
<v Speaker 1>back to the office there or the bank gets back

0:22:38.640 --> 0:22:42.920
<v Speaker 1>that gets the big deals that isn't Yes, it comes

0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:50.480
<v Speaker 1>down at that journal. Yeah, but you let me drive

0:22:53.880 --> 0:23:04.800
<v Speaker 1>all night, please, I want to drive, just drive the

0:23:05.000 --> 0:23:14.719
<v Speaker 1>question drying job. This is the drive to the globe.

<v Speaker 1>Commun Thanks, we'll drive us. Jonadn on Bluebird Radio. So

0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:23.080
<v Speaker 1>just about tennant that happened. It's left today's trading session.

0:23:23.119 --> 0:23:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Time for the drive to the clothes with Anne Miletti,

0:23:25.080 --> 0:23:28.280
<v Speaker 1>head of Active Equity over at Wells Fargo Asset Management

0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:31.760
<v Speaker 1>billion dollars in assets under management. She joins us on

0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:34.440
<v Speaker 1>the phone from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. On this Tuesday, and how

0:23:34.440 --> 0:23:38.240
<v Speaker 1>are you I'm kidding we Carrol, how are you doing okay?

0:23:38.320 --> 0:23:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Hanging in there? Um, talk to us about the trade today,

0:23:40.840 --> 0:23:44.159
<v Speaker 1>because we are saying, listen, it's all driven by some

0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:46.560
<v Speaker 1>of those big tech names and that's what's dragging down

0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:49.440
<v Speaker 1>certainly the NASDAC, but just kind of the overall tone.

0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:53.040
<v Speaker 1>How do you see it? Well, we've seen this change

0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:56.080
<v Speaker 1>in leadership happen right where you see the value rally

0:23:56.200 --> 0:23:58.560
<v Speaker 1>and then you see the growth rally, and it keeps.

0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:01.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, the market teams to be changing its mind daily,

0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:05.600
<v Speaker 1>but I think overall, you know, what we've had so

0:24:05.640 --> 0:24:09.919
<v Speaker 1>far this year is a relatively strong market, and the

0:24:10.000 --> 0:24:14.000
<v Speaker 1>economic picture looks even better. I mean, the news that

0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:19.520
<v Speaker 1>we continue to get is surprisingly strong. But you know,

0:24:19.560 --> 0:24:22.119
<v Speaker 1>a lot of that's priced in. It's like, you know,

0:24:22.200 --> 0:24:24.560
<v Speaker 1>we've all been at the party for a very long

0:24:24.640 --> 0:24:27.239
<v Speaker 1>time and we're just getting a little tired out. They

0:24:27.280 --> 0:24:30.400
<v Speaker 1>feel like that's what the markets acting like. It's it's

0:24:30.440 --> 0:24:32.399
<v Speaker 1>more about what are we going to see in the

0:24:32.440 --> 0:24:35.480
<v Speaker 1>next six to nine months. That's what the market cares

0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:38.159
<v Speaker 1>more about, um right now, and I think that's what

0:24:38.200 --> 0:24:40.640
<v Speaker 1>it's trying to price in and it's difficult when there's

0:24:40.640 --> 0:24:43.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of uncertainty in the in the future. So

0:24:43.320 --> 0:24:45.359
<v Speaker 1>what does that mean for the rest And what we've

0:24:45.400 --> 0:24:47.560
<v Speaker 1>heard from c e O S has been, Hey, we're

0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:50.800
<v Speaker 1>not even at a point where we can actually tell

0:24:50.880 --> 0:24:53.920
<v Speaker 1>you what we think we are going to sell this year.

0:24:53.960 --> 0:24:56.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean some companies aren't even giving guidance still, and

0:24:56.200 --> 0:24:59.159
<v Speaker 1>investors don't like that. Yeah, No, it's a it's a

0:24:59.200 --> 0:25:02.680
<v Speaker 1>it's a great point. It's um when when our portfolio

0:25:02.720 --> 0:25:06.240
<v Speaker 1>managers are listening to the earnings call one, they're hearing

0:25:06.280 --> 0:25:10.600
<v Speaker 1>surprisingly great news. Right. We have companies that are surprising

0:25:10.600 --> 0:25:14.520
<v Speaker 1>to the upside at a substantial amount, right, But the

0:25:14.640 --> 0:25:19.000
<v Speaker 1>key things that they're listening to are also things like

0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:23.000
<v Speaker 1>there's bottlenecks in the system, there's rising input costs, the

0:25:23.040 --> 0:25:27.680
<v Speaker 1>transportation costs are increasing as well, and so those things

0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:31.320
<v Speaker 1>are kind of the micro level things that companies are

0:25:31.400 --> 0:25:34.320
<v Speaker 1>used to dealing with. But there's macro issues to like

0:25:34.440 --> 0:25:39.159
<v Speaker 1>policy changes, tax increases, other things that CEO CFOs no

0:25:39.680 --> 0:25:43.959
<v Speaker 1>are changing, but they can't quantify them yet, and um,

0:25:44.000 --> 0:25:45.760
<v Speaker 1>they don't know how they're going to manage their business

0:25:45.840 --> 0:25:49.359
<v Speaker 1>around them. And that's why there is hesitancy around giving

0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:53.919
<v Speaker 1>broader guidance and and so you know, investors in the

0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:57.880
<v Speaker 1>market are trying to price you know that in and

0:25:58.040 --> 0:26:01.919
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to measure risk versus reward, and fundamentals I

0:26:01.960 --> 0:26:06.480
<v Speaker 1>think of each individual company are becoming more and more

0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:11.159
<v Speaker 1>important to investors. So the big tech names that are

0:26:11.200 --> 0:26:14.640
<v Speaker 1>dragging down the trade today that we're seeing an UM

0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:17.720
<v Speaker 1>had a list somewhere Applied Materials and Video, a lot

0:26:17.720 --> 0:26:22.240
<v Speaker 1>of chip names, Apple, PayPal, IBC, I p G, Photonics.

0:26:22.520 --> 0:26:27.520
<v Speaker 1>UM is another semiconductor company. So what you're thinking on

0:26:27.520 --> 0:26:29.239
<v Speaker 1>some of the big tech names that have provided so

0:26:29.320 --> 0:26:33.800
<v Speaker 1>much momentum for this market over the past year or so, well,

0:26:33.840 --> 0:26:35.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, we never look at just one day of

0:26:35.720 --> 0:26:38.920
<v Speaker 1>trading and get too worried about what one day says.

0:26:39.359 --> 0:26:42.600
<v Speaker 1>But certainly, UM, when you look at it over a

0:26:42.600 --> 0:26:44.879
<v Speaker 1>long period of time, you kind of, you know, it

0:26:44.960 --> 0:26:47.440
<v Speaker 1>does it does make you pause. Look, I think there

0:26:47.440 --> 0:26:50.680
<v Speaker 1>are certainly companies in there that you mentioned that still

0:26:50.720 --> 0:26:54.320
<v Speaker 1>have very very good fundamentals and more importantly, that have

0:26:54.520 --> 0:26:57.920
<v Speaker 1>pricing power. And if you think about UM, you know,

0:26:58.280 --> 0:27:00.840
<v Speaker 1>the world as it may look the months from now,

0:27:00.880 --> 0:27:03.600
<v Speaker 1>I think pricing power is going to be something that's

0:27:03.600 --> 0:27:08.000
<v Speaker 1>extremely important if you worry at all about inflation, whether

0:27:08.000 --> 0:27:11.320
<v Speaker 1>it's transitory um or if it's going to get worse.

0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Pricing power is extremely important for companies, so investors should

0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:18.199
<v Speaker 1>focus on that um And then also you know, if

0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:22.600
<v Speaker 1>you have changes in tax policy again, you're going to

0:27:22.640 --> 0:27:26.040
<v Speaker 1>be able to have to to to transition that cost

0:27:26.520 --> 0:27:31.280
<v Speaker 1>over to the consumer. And so that's what our managers

0:27:31.280 --> 0:27:34.640
<v Speaker 1>are focused on, is how do you transition that off

0:27:34.640 --> 0:27:39.120
<v Speaker 1>to the consumer because margins will be compressed over time

0:27:39.119 --> 0:27:41.679
<v Speaker 1>and and and you haven't had to worry about that

0:27:41.800 --> 0:27:44.720
<v Speaker 1>revenue top line growth has been so strong, you know,

0:27:44.800 --> 0:27:47.320
<v Speaker 1>margins haven't been a problem. But we expect that that

0:27:47.359 --> 0:27:49.920
<v Speaker 1>could change towards the yur end well and kind of timely.

0:27:50.000 --> 0:27:51.960
<v Speaker 1>In a day where commodities jumped to their highest in

0:27:51.960 --> 0:27:54.440
<v Speaker 1>almost a decade, and you know, we have seen the

0:27:54.480 --> 0:27:57.879
<v Speaker 1>rebound and in particular the developed economy around the world,

0:27:57.880 --> 0:28:00.200
<v Speaker 1>so demand from metals, food, energy are all up. We've

0:28:00.200 --> 0:28:03.520
<v Speaker 1>also seen some poor weather harming crops and transportation bottlenecks,

0:28:03.520 --> 0:28:07.520
<v Speaker 1>which you just talked about curbing supplies. Is it transitory,

0:28:07.560 --> 0:28:09.640
<v Speaker 1>like we've heard from the Federal Reserve, So that we're

0:28:09.640 --> 0:28:13.960
<v Speaker 1>going to have maybe some discomfort with some prices taking higher.

0:28:13.960 --> 0:28:17.240
<v Speaker 1>We've seen that already until these bottlenecks and these supply

0:28:17.359 --> 0:28:21.240
<v Speaker 1>chains kind of get back to quote unquote normal. Well,

0:28:21.280 --> 0:28:24.080
<v Speaker 1>I do think a lot of it is transit. Transitory.

0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:26.280
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of pent up demand in the system

0:28:26.359 --> 0:28:28.199
<v Speaker 1>and we all know that, right. You can see it

0:28:28.400 --> 0:28:31.479
<v Speaker 1>nor everyday live. Um. You know, you just look at

0:28:31.480 --> 0:28:33.720
<v Speaker 1>the auto numbers and what we've seen in all time

0:28:33.800 --> 0:28:38.160
<v Speaker 1>high since July of I think in July about five, um,

0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:42.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, amazing numbers. But that's because you know, the

0:28:42.960 --> 0:28:45.840
<v Speaker 1>economy was almost shut down for a year. So some

0:28:45.960 --> 0:28:48.920
<v Speaker 1>of that is transitory. But it's transitory until it's not.

0:28:49.840 --> 0:28:53.280
<v Speaker 1>And I think, do we get that to do that

0:28:53.360 --> 0:28:56.520
<v Speaker 1>and get to that point where it's not transitory anymore, Well,

0:28:56.640 --> 0:28:59.080
<v Speaker 1>that's you know, I don't know that for sure, and

0:28:59.120 --> 0:29:00.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm not an account of and I'm not going to

0:29:01.080 --> 0:29:05.000
<v Speaker 1>practice being one, but um, but what we're doing is

0:29:05.040 --> 0:29:08.680
<v Speaker 1>watching the data very carefully, you know, as is the

0:29:08.680 --> 0:29:12.400
<v Speaker 1>set right and I think they've been quick to adjust

0:29:12.560 --> 0:29:15.080
<v Speaker 1>and change when the data changes, and I think that

0:29:15.120 --> 0:29:18.920
<v Speaker 1>they'll do that this time around, and so our portfolio

0:29:18.960 --> 0:29:23.360
<v Speaker 1>managers and analysts are certainly watching it on a micro

0:29:23.520 --> 0:29:26.920
<v Speaker 1>level at the company level and paying very very close

0:29:26.960 --> 0:29:29.760
<v Speaker 1>attention to what all the input put costs look like.

0:29:29.840 --> 0:29:32.400
<v Speaker 1>What's that specific moment for you though, when you say

0:29:32.480 --> 0:29:34.400
<v Speaker 1>to yourself and you say to your colleagues, okay, this

0:29:34.480 --> 0:29:39.120
<v Speaker 1>is not transitory. Well, I think you know again, there's

0:29:39.320 --> 0:29:41.320
<v Speaker 1>all of the measures that we're looking at on a

0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:45.080
<v Speaker 1>micro level, company by company and for a long you know,

0:29:45.160 --> 0:29:49.800
<v Speaker 1>for long only in equity investors. It's measuring risk rewarding,

0:29:49.920 --> 0:29:53.640
<v Speaker 1>picking the companies that really have that pricing power and

0:29:53.680 --> 0:29:56.920
<v Speaker 1>who can weather the storm better. And there will be

0:29:57.000 --> 0:30:03.280
<v Speaker 1>companies there always are that can actually do well during

0:30:03.440 --> 0:30:09.240
<v Speaker 1>inflationary periods. Deflationary periods, unfortunately, are what we always want

0:30:09.280 --> 0:30:12.560
<v Speaker 1>to avoid. And so does the said so, um, it's

0:30:12.600 --> 0:30:16.120
<v Speaker 1>not good for the economy long term. Um, and we

0:30:16.200 --> 0:30:19.760
<v Speaker 1>know that. But but but we're trying to manage around

0:30:19.800 --> 0:30:21.960
<v Speaker 1>what we what we're delivered. Hey, just have about a

0:30:21.960 --> 0:30:24.280
<v Speaker 1>minute or just under a minute left here, and um,

0:30:24.360 --> 0:30:26.120
<v Speaker 1>you would not be surprised to see a correction tend

0:30:26.160 --> 0:30:27.960
<v Speaker 1>to twelve percent, but for the second half is over,

0:30:28.880 --> 0:30:31.800
<v Speaker 1>that's right, Um, I think you know again, given the

0:30:31.800 --> 0:30:35.479
<v Speaker 1>returns that we've seen, not just this year, but certainly

0:30:35.600 --> 0:30:39.760
<v Speaker 1>last year. A ten to twelve, even fifteen percent correction

0:30:39.800 --> 0:30:42.360
<v Speaker 1>would not be surprising to us. In fact, in some

0:30:42.400 --> 0:30:45.080
<v Speaker 1>ways that it would be welcome because it would give

0:30:45.160 --> 0:30:47.680
<v Speaker 1>us the ability to buy focks at a much more

0:30:47.720 --> 0:30:49.680
<v Speaker 1>attractive Yeah, that's what's gonna say. I mean, do you

0:30:49.720 --> 0:30:52.040
<v Speaker 1>have you made put cash on the sidelines in order

0:30:52.040 --> 0:30:55.520
<v Speaker 1>to bounce on that opportunity when it arises and we

0:30:55.520 --> 0:30:58.040
<v Speaker 1>only have about fifteen seconds left. Yeah, yeah, there are

0:30:58.120 --> 0:31:02.200
<v Speaker 1>buy lists on everything. One of our investment teams waiting

0:31:02.280 --> 0:31:05.880
<v Speaker 1>to react to anything like that. All right, is that

0:31:05.960 --> 0:31:08.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of normal though? I mean, isn't it normal? It is?

0:31:08.520 --> 0:31:12.320
<v Speaker 1>It is, but it changes, right, it changes with price. Ye. Well,

0:31:12.400 --> 0:31:14.320
<v Speaker 1>interesting day. Good to get your thoughts and good to

0:31:14.360 --> 0:31:16.200
<v Speaker 1>get some macro thoughts on you. And I think you're

0:31:16.200 --> 0:31:18.360
<v Speaker 1>among the first that have been talking to us about

0:31:18.360 --> 0:31:21.520
<v Speaker 1>some kind of correction formal correction this year, so um,

0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate that specificity. Time to uh say goodbye unfortunately

0:31:26.160 --> 0:31:28.720
