1
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: A few years ago and Whisky start a company called

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: twenty three and Me. That company provides anyone who uses

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: the firm services with information about their own genetic code.

4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: With that information, people going to determine their own ancestry

5
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: and they can also determine where they have potential genetic

6
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: health problems in the future. I sat down with Anne

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: and her home in Palo Alto to discuss the future

8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: of twenty three and me and how it can help

9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: solve genetic health care problems. So for those people that

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: have not done twenty three and me yet as a

11
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: test kit, tell us what twenty three and me actually is.

12
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: So twenty three and Me is a company that allows

13
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: you to see your own DNA, but it also helps

14
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: you understand what are your genetic health risks? What is

15
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: it that your potentially predisposed to something like type two diabetes,

16
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: h fibrillation. But it also helps you understand your ancestry.

17
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: So where are you from the world, how are you

18
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: connected to other people? And we make it so shoal like.

19
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: One of the big differences with twenty three and Me

20
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: is like we have a it's a social platform, so

21
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: you could share like you and I could share our

22
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: data together, we could potentially be relatives. You can find

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: new relatives on twenty three ME and you can also

24
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: share some of your health information. So when people take

25
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: this test, and I should say I took it recently,

26
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: I haven't gotten the results back. I'm nervous about whether

27
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to get good or bad results. But all

28
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: you do is you spit into a little tube, you

29
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: mail it back to you, and then how do you

30
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: get out of somebody's saliva all this information? Isn't it?

31
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: It's it's amazing that it's just it's a little tube

32
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: of spit. So you spit in the tube. It actually

33
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: takes about ten minutes to spit um. You have cells

34
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: from your cheek and you know, cells cells that come

35
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: into that spit into the saliva, and you send it

36
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: back to us. We um you know, take part of

37
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: that sample. We extract the DNA and we run it

38
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: on Jean chip. You know, it's a technology that Alumina

39
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: has made and that's part of it's you know, thanks

40
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: to this company. It's a very affordable test. You know,

41
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: it's under two dollars if you want to get the

42
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: health and the ancestry, and it takes a couple of

43
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: weeks for us to turn it around, and then you

44
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: have your genome. And what twenty three really has done

45
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: is built all of the tools, all the interactive software tools,

46
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: so that you can navigate and explore what does the

47
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: genome mean for you? So when you give the results

48
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: back to people, what are they typically most surprised to learn?

49
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: We're first and foremost really concerned about health returning health results,

50
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: and so we spend a lot of time thinking about, Okay,

51
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: if I'm going to tell you your genetically high risk

52
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: for Alzheimer's, how are you going to respond to that? Um,

53
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: We have all kinds of additional layers of consent, We

54
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: have you know, physician videos around it. But I would

55
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: say what the biggest surprises for people is that they

56
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: find out that they have additional family members that they

57
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: did not know about, or the family members that they

58
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: have they did not necessarily you know, they find out

59
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: that they're not necessarily related UM or genetically related. So

60
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: I would say the family connections are frankly actually become

61
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: the biggest surprise for me. UM. I would say, when

62
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: the other biggest questions is like, what is that definition

63
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: of race? So a lot of people find out that

64
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: they have African ancestry or they have Jewish ancestry, but

65
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: they never knew that they had either those. So then

66
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: what really is that definition of being Jewish or what's

67
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: that definition of being African American? With the co discovery

68
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 1: of DNA with James Watson and uh, he once told

69
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: me that he had his human genome mapped early, one

70
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: of the early people, but he said he didn't want

71
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: to know if he had a predisposition to Alzheimer's, And

72
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: I wonder or a lot of people have that view,

73
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: which is, I'd like to know what my genes would be,

74
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: but don't tell me if I have a predisposition Alzheimer's,

75
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: because not much I can do about it. Is that right?

76
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: I think it's it's actually I would say you have

77
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: sort of two camps, and both camps feel very strongly.

78
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: You have a group of people who very much want

79
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: to know everything about themselves, and they don't necessarily a

80
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: report like Alzheimer's doesn't necessarily have clinical utility in the

81
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: capacity that you're going to have a treatment or you're

82
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: going to change anything, but it has high personal utility,

83
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: meaning that those people might decide they create a will

84
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: they retire earlier or one of the main things that

85
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: we see people do is they go and they buy

86
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: long term care insurance. So what we see is that

87
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: they take a personal utility and they're actually proactive with

88
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: that information. Now, in the consumer world, what people like

89
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: is repeat customers. And so if I did as I

90
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: just did, I took a twenty three and me test.

91
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: Once I get the results, how do you monetize me

92
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: in the future? What are there are different things you

93
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: can sell to me? Or because that's what usually companies

94
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: like to do is go back to their customers and

95
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: sell them something else. So what do you have interesting?

96
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: You know, I could look back like if we if

97
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: I ever do a retrospective on twenty three and me,

98
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: was it a mistake to not have a subscription product earlier?

99
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: So we do today have a subscription product. In early

100
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: early stages of the subscription product, the original I ideas

101
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: with twenty three me was that we'd get you in

102
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: in the simplest way possible because we didn't want to

103
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: overly confuse the messaging about a subscription or not. But

104
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: it was just it was so unknown, like why do

105
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: you even want your genetic information. So the idea was

106
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: like I needed to see the market just with like

107
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: my early adopters is like, just like what is this information?

108
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: And make it as simple as possible. But what I've

109
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: seen over the last sixteen years is that my customers

110
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: are really engaged. So for example, over eighty five of

111
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: our customers are consenting for research, like really high numbers

112
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: of people opt into research. Over fift of my customers

113
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: are coming back on a quarterly basis. So if I

114
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: subscribe to one of your subscription services and I have

115
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: a predisposition to disease A or be, you're likely to

116
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: send me information on that from time and time. Is

117
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: that what you mean? We'll potentially update that report or

118
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: well potentially said you additional But the main thing we

119
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: did we recently acquired a company called Lemonade Health. And

120
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: the reason why we acquired Lemonade Health was two folds,

121
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: like mostly to fit answer the question that you just asked.

122
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: Here is like you find out your higher risk, Well,

123
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: now what can you do? So first and foremost will

124
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: be able to have medical protocols about how can we

125
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: actually deliver genomic based care. No one has adopted genomic medicine,

126
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: So how can I adopt genomic based care in a

127
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: primary care setting to really help think about how do

128
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: I engage, Like how do I help you be healthy? So,

129
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 1: first and foremost we're going to like solve that question

130
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: for you. Second is really about the engagement side. You

131
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: find out your higher risk for heart disease, well, like

132
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: an article just came out about caffeine consumption in heart

133
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: disease or sleep in heart disease, I want you to

134
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: update me. So the company then will start to update

135
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: people to say, hey, here's the latest about what's happening.

136
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: Here's things that are in your hands that you should

137
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: actually start to go and think about. Now, you have

138
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: a fairly distinguished family. I'd like to talk about it

139
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: for a moment. It's been written about. I recall your

140
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: father was a physics professor in the head of the

141
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: physics department at Stanford. Your mother is a distinguished educator

142
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: and wrote a book about how to raise distinguished, accomplished children.

143
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: She sure did. One of your sisters is an epidemiologist

144
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: at the University of California, professor. Another sister runs YouTube.

145
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: And then you are the founder of twenty three and

146
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: so what was it like growing up on the Stanford

147
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: campus with all this talented around you. I think the

148
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: best thing about how we grew up is we were

149
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: surrounded by an academic culture of people who really prioritized

150
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: education and learning, but also really encourage people to pursue

151
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: their passions. So what I what I love about all

152
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: my sisters, Like we both you know, Susan and I

153
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: happened to be in higher profile roles, but everyone is

154
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: pursuing something that they really love and they really enjoy doing.

155
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: So I think that the best thing we all got

156
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: from our parents was to pursue your passions, no matter

157
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: how esoteric, or whether or not they're monetize able or

158
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: if it's you know, an academic kind of pursuit. Right.

159
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: So I grew up in the Stanford campus. I assume

160
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: you're an all A student. Your sisters are all a's.

161
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: So where did you want to go to school? In college?

162
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: You know, I kind of debate. I mean, my my

163
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: father went to Harvard. Like the realities, you know, things

164
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: based on your parents, and my father was really lucky.

165
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: He went to Harvard after he came from he came

166
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: from Poland. He was in school and he went early

167
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: to Harvard. Um My mom went to Berkeley, so I knew.

168
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: My parents always encouraged me. They would say, you know, go,

169
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: like it's important to go, it's important to have education,

170
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: it's important to go to a good school. But there's

171
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: a lot of good schools, and I would say today

172
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: people over emphasized, like you know what, exactly what school

173
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: I have to go to. There's so many great schools,

174
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: and frankly, the great school finds you. Um So, I

175
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: always wanted to go. I thought Harvard would be fascinating.

176
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 1: My oldest sister she went to Harvard. Um I used

177
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: to stay with her at Harvard. I just like I

178
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: was fascinated by people who wore tweed and had leather patches.

179
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: Um So I decided not to end up going to Harvard.

180
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: I went to Yale for on weekend, and I fell

181
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: in love with Yale and I'm a yalely I just

182
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: loved it. Okay, And what did you study there? I

183
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: studied biology. And did you want to go to medical school?

184
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: I did. I thought about going to medical school. I

185
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: loved research, but I wasn't Um I can't say that

186
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: I was an incredibly talented researcher. I would say that

187
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: detail in that precision. There was a lot of wonderful

188
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: post docs in the lab who helped me get through

189
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: my research. But I love the science. I love molecular biology,

190
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: like it keeps me up at night that you have

191
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: this incredible set of processes going on right now in

192
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: your body. She went to Yale, you graduated. He decided

193
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: not going to go to medical school. But what did

194
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: you do? Well? I and I actually always you know,

195
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: and I joke a lot. I'm on the Kaiser Permanent,

196
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: a school medicine board, and I sometimes joke. I was like,

197
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,599
Speaker 1: at some point, I'll still go to medical school, like I,

198
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like the most it's the most interesting

199
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: job you can have, I think, But um, but I

200
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: decided not to, and very randomly I got a job.

201
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: I randomly got my resume sent to the Wallenberg family

202
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: in Sweden and they offered me a job. I didn't

203
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: know who they were, I didn't know what it was,

204
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: um and but I thought it was interesting, like it

205
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: was like a one year opportunity paid me forty dollars.

206
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: I thought I would never make that much money again,

207
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,599
Speaker 1: so I figured I would go and do it for

208
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: a year. So where did you do this? So? I

209
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: worked in New York for almost ten years. Um. So

210
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: I started off with the Wallenberg's and then I went

211
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: to a series of hedge funds afterwards. Right so, um,

212
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: nothing could be higher in life than working for hedge funds. Right? No,

213
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: exactly how did you feel there was a higher calling

214
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: than working for a hedge fund at the point I

215
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: was my my my best friend's father used to call

216
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: me a leech on society. Um so, and I took

217
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: up fondly. I was like, look, the reality for me

218
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: is I was learning, Um, there was no better education

219
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: about it was like getting a PC. Like I went

220
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: to medical meetings every week. I went, I was speaking

221
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: with experts every day, Like I knew the health care

222
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: system so well. But I did feel after ten years,

223
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: I was investing in a system that was fundamentally not

224
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,719
Speaker 1: really like not really the system that I wanted to

225
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: be part of. And um, and then I wanted to

226
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: do something. I feel like, you can't. If you're going

227
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: to complain about a problem, then you should, you know,

228
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: figure out how to fix it. So what year did

229
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: you decide to start? Twenty three? And me, it started

230
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: thinking about a lot in two thousand five, and then

231
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: it was two thousand two six that we actually started.

232
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: So for people who haven't paid attention to the genome world,

233
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: in the year two thousand, I think it was the

234
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: federal government said that two researchers, Francis Collins working at

235
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: n I H and Craig Ventor, who has had a

236
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: private company, had basically discovered the human genome. So that happened,

237
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: and I think two thousand President Clinton said that was

238
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: a tie, and they both given credit for it, leaving

239
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: aside the intramural fighting that had gone on before. So

240
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: it was then thought, Okay, the world is gonna be

241
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 1: so much better now that we know that human genome.

242
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: It's been mapped. There will be no more to Jesus,

243
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: we can fix all diseases. But what happened for the

244
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: ten years or so or fifteen years afterwards, it didn't

245
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: seem like much happened. But this is that's such an

246
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: interesting question, um, and this is also something that plagues me.

247
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: Like Francis Collins and President Clinton at the time came

248
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: out and said this human genome, like sequencing, the human

249
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: genome is going to transform how we diagnose treat and

250
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: prevent all human disease. So it's a huge statement about

251
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. And I would argue one of

252
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: the biggest issues that's happened today is there has not

253
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: been adoption of genetic technology. And I would say point

254
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: back to again part of my dissatisfaction with the investing

255
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: world is part of the reason why it has not

256
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 1: been adopted is that a lot of genetic information is

257
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: about prevention. So for instance, if I tell you are

258
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: likely to have an adverse event from this this antidepressant,

259
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: or your potentially higher risk for atrial fib those are

260
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: not well monetized medical events. You can make a lot

261
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: of money treating atro fibrillation, but you cannot make money

262
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: in the absence of a disease. So, for instance, if

263
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: I successfully keep you healthy to a hundred, you are

264
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: not a profit center for the healthcare world. And so

265
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: genetic information a lot of that potential is not really

266
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: adopted in the primary care setting, in part because there's

267
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: not an assilium monetization path. So you're starting to see

268
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: that more in cancer, you start to see it more

269
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 1: in pregnancy related but it has not been widely adopted

270
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: I would say the second thing is that the US

271
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: is far far behind countries like the UK. So the

272
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: UK has an incredibly impressive program called the uk Biobank

273
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,479
Speaker 1: where they have half a million people who have consented,

274
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: who are participating in a nationwide program and it's amazing,

275
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: like everyone including twenty three me uses the data that

276
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: comes out from the UK Biobank. The US has totally

277
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: fallen behind. So we have a program called all of

278
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: Us where we're trying to get people. It's supposed to

279
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: be a million people, but the UK has already left

280
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: prog us and said we have a five million person program.

281
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: Now that's going to be, you know, running ahead. So

282
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: the US and part there's also been a lot of

283
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: politics around you know, how is this going to execute?

284
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: You know, what are the ethics on it? If we

285
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: want to really capture the benefit of the human genome,

286
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: you need a massive I would say multiple countries that

287
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: come together and have like a hundred million people who

288
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: come together so you can really understand what the code is.

289
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: The US is obsessed not so much with the UK,

290
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: but it's with China. So it is China ahead of

291
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: us in this area or not? Well, China is crushing

292
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: us too, but we don't know as much about what

293
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: they're actually doing. So I would say, like the one

294
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: big worry that I always have is like China. China

295
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: knows how to execute and they know how to lead

296
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: on a program in China has made no um, no

297
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: uncertain statements about their interest in genetics and that they

298
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: want to be the world leader in this next the

299
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: genetic revolution. So China has made huge efforts. They have

300
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: huge programs, and they also have something called the Beijing

301
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: Genome Institute, which is an incredibly well funded you know, um,

302
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: you know, well funded with the government and a massive

303
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: sequencing shop where tons and tons of discoveries are being

304
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: made and there's nothing in the U s or nothing

305
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: in the UK that's even comparable. As you look at

306
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: the company you've created, and you look at what you've

307
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: done with your life, how do you think you're having

308
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: an impact on the world for the betterment of the world.

309
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: I think in two ways. So one, I personally believe

310
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: there's no more interesting challenge than trying to understand the

311
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: code of life. And I think that twenty three is

312
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: frankly the best positioned entity public or not not public

313
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: or you know, for profit or nonprofit, we are by

314
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: far and away the best positioned entity to solve the

315
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: question as to what does the human genome mean and

316
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: how can you apply it to individuals? So one, I

317
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: think we are going to be the lead in deciphering

318
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: the human genetic code. Second, I transform people's lives, like

319
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: it's what keeps me up at night, and it's also

320
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: what keeps me going. I tell someone that they're higher

321
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: risk for breast cancer and that leads them to get amasectomy,

322
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: and I can potentially prevent an early death, like that's amazing.

323
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: Or I can reconnect to family members where they've been

324
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: lost for years. Like. One thing twenty three ME does

325
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: is that we generate incredibly meaningful information for individuals. By

326
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: the way, all my twenty three and ME tasks I'm

327
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: waiting for they get the results soon. How can I

328
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: be certain that nobody will know the results other than me?

329
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: How can I be sure that you're not selling the

330
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: data to somebody else? So we honor the fact that, like,

331
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: this is your genome and you should do with it

332
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: what you want. So that means, though I'm not going

333
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: to prevent you from sharing it, I'm going to give

334
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: you options. So we as we ask you, do you

335
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: want to opt into research and over our customers are

336
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: now opting in so but it's not a default. We

337
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: actually ask you like you have to elect that option.

338
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 1: If you wanted to share your genetic information with me,

339
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: you have that opportunity. But there's no defaults, like nothing

340
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: is mandatory. So it's all about you being in control.

341
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: So your company went public not too long ago through

342
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: a spac process. I think it was a spact that

343
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: was involved with Richard Branson and Virgin So any regrets

344
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: to backgoing public or throw us back? No, I mean

345
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 1: it's interesting because it's it's definitely not you know, the

346
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: most positive of market times. Um, but I loved I

347
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: love the process, like being being public. The process of

348
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: going public is a lot of work. And so when

349
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: we decided about or we at least looked at opportunities

350
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: to go public, Like one of the big considerations for

351
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: me was how much time is it going to take

352
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: from me? And I wanted, like, I'm very much focused

353
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: and very much of a CEO that like I like

354
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: to operate and I like to be in the weed,

355
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 1: like how are we executing? So I wanted to make

356
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: sure I was minimizing times, like how much time is

357
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: it going to take for the whole process? This back

358
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: process is incredibly efficient. Um. I got incredibly lucky with

359
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: Richard Branson. He's a very high quality investor. He has

360
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: an incredibly educated team. He's actually invested in healthcare before.

361
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 1: He's run you know, benefits companies. He's had a care

362
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: company in the UK, so he knows this space and

363
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: he was specifically looking at healthcare in a consumer space.

364
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: So I'm happy with the like the process was smooth

365
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: and we ended up in a really successful situation. But

366
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: many tech companies have seen their prices go down, so

367
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,479
Speaker 1: you you have as well? I said, so does that

368
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: bother you and you're saying, well, we'll come back, or

369
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: what is your view generally on the the future of

370
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: tech companies in terms of the valuations they once had.

371
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: I think coming from Wall Street has given me a

372
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: good perspective on this. You know, Wall Street is not

373
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 1: always a reflective of true value. And I can also

374
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: say that there's like no shortage of opportunities that people

375
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: have missed where there's a diamond in the gem like

376
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: you know, or diamond the rough where I could look

377
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: at like the early days of Google, or I could

378
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: look at the early days of Amazon, where people did

379
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 1: not really understand the story, and I would put us

380
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: in that bucket. A lot of people don't quite understand

381
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: what we do. They either think are we ancestry. We

382
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: also have a biotech side, which we haven't even talked about,

383
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: is like how do you translate all this data into

384
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: drug discovery? So we're complicated story. The market conditions are bad.

385
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: You know, markets are efficient over time, You're largely seen

386
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: as a consumer company, and consumer companies have relatively lower

387
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: pe multiples tech companies and biotech companies when the market

388
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,959
Speaker 1: comes back and higher multiple. So can you transform your

389
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: company into being a tech or biotech company by working

390
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: on disease solutions as opposed to just giving people their information?

391
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: We are, Um, that's actually one of the beauties. So

392
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: twenty three AM when we started the company, remember I said,

393
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: it was like all about like exploring the genome. And

394
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: so one of the things we do is we have

395
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: this huge research arm like how can I help best

396
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: understand what the human genome means? And that's part of

397
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: the whole process from the very beginning, is how do

398
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: I consent people for research, engage them in research, learn

399
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: about them, and then I have a whole analytics team

400
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: and data science team that's in looking at all that

401
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: data to see how do I translate it either as

402
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,239
Speaker 1: a consumer product back to you or actually now for

403
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: research and discovery. So I have over a hundred people

404
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: in a twenty three therapeutics arm of the business. We

405
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 1: have a major collaboration with GSK. We have over fifty

406
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: programs that are in development and we have to actually

407
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: in clinical trials, So we're a hundred Like absolutely, thinking

408
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: about how people will benefit from the human genome is

409
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: about actually translating that information into theory. And GSK is

410
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: a very large healthcare company medical research company. What are

411
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: you doing specifically with him? Specifically it's on target identification,

412
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: So we're specifically working with g s K to look

413
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: at the data that twenty three is generated to see

414
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: can we identify new novel drug targets. So you've built

415
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 1: a successful company, but you might not want to run

416
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: in for the next ten years, or do you? And

417
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: if you didn't, would you want to go into government?

418
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: At the president called you to serve our country? Would

419
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: you go into government or would you start another company.

420
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: I love what I do and I feel like I

421
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: have this luxury with twenty three ME that um, it's

422
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: and it keeps evolving. You know, we started out just

423
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: as a you know, started out a consumer company. We're

424
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: thick in research, we got into drug discovering two fifteen,

425
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: and now we're getting to the delivery of care. So

426
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 1: I've been really lucky with twenty three me that it's

427
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: been endlessly interesting and I'm surrounded by incredibly talented, brilliant

428
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: individuals where I learned from them, and what I always

429
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: advised people to do is like you should keep you

430
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: should take jobs where you're learning, and if you stop

431
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: learning in a job, then you should quit. And like frankly,

432
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 1: when people leave twenty three me, like I say, if

433
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: you're not learning anymore, you should move on. So I'm

434
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: I'm hun on committed to twenty three. That said, my

435
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: other passion is other direct to consumers, Like I want

436
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: to build out a true consumer empowered healthcare world, like

437
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: one that is outside of the existing system. And I

438
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: do there's no greater force than government and the opportunity

439
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: for government, So you know, there's always ideas, like I

440
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: could always do a sabbatical. You have three talented sisters too,

441
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: very um accomplished parents. Your parents ever said, well, guess

442
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: what your sister just did to kind of say you

443
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: should work even harder and be more, even more accomplished.

444
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: They put rivalries together, or you don't have that problem. No,

445
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: they know my parents. My parents are lovely, and my

446
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 1: sisters are you know, my sisters are quick to you know,

447
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: make me humble. I mean, it's part of why I

448
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: lived with my sisters. Like I had somebody over today,

449
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: like I had we had a coffee chat that with

450
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 1: somebody in the company today who you know? We auction

451
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: this off. And my sister was laughing. She's like someone

452
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: paid money to eat with you. And I was like thanks,

453
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: Like that wasn't the kinds of reminders I get from

454
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: the family. So your mother wrote this book about raising

455
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: talented children. Do you raise your children the way she

456
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: raised you? I listen. I think each generation improves upon

457
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: the last generation. So I think that we have taken um.

458
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: I have I haven't. I couldn't read the whole book.

459
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: I read parts of the book, but I wrote part

460
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: of I wrote the forward UM, and my my take

461
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: on that was more to like give the reality, like

462
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: the perspective from the child, Like I know my mother

463
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: is telling you about how she raised us, but let

464
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,840
