So for me, I'm a very mission driven leader. I think it's important, at least for me to be able to make a difference in the lives of others. And so most of the work that has helped me move my career forward or has allowed me to do some pretty unique things throughout my my different jobs or the different roles that I've had as a leader have come from being able to do something at scale that has given other people a better, happier, healthier life. And more recently, and one of the things I'm most excited about is that we're we're motivating a team of people to build pandemic level responses in Kobe testing now across the United States, where you know there is so little access tests and it's very disorganized that we, along with the help of state and local governments, are now making easier for people to have access to testing. For me, the opportunity as a leader to be able to motivate engineers to motivate other business people toe want to do the same thing is because I am so excited and so passionate about being able to do something that will help others live their lives safely, that we're actually making a difference

So vote health was started based on the idea that 70% of men don't get health care in the United States. And that's really, really a bad statistic. In fact, as a result of that, men are dying five years younger than women, and they're dying of cardiovascular disease, which is entirely preventable. And it's because guys don't really have a doctor that's dedicated them. So we think about women having, you know, a gynecologist at a relatively young age. There is a doctor that women could go to the decades decade will hand guide them to health care. Men don't have that. And so no matter how much your parents love you growing up as a guy, you're told, Well, go get a physical, go to the doctor physical. And when you do that after a couple of years, you realize, you know what? The doctor is going to tell me the same thing every year. I should be better. I should sleep better. I should exercise more. Well, I've done all those things that it wasn't changed my life. I'm still not feeling my best. And so we said if we could actually be the guy G U Y psychologist. If we could be the doctor for men and more than that, if we could actually help guys by going to their home and by being a doctor, that could actually see them on Tele Health so they could use their devices to get health care that maybe guys would take differently. And then we went one step further and we said, What if we actually asked guys instead of, you know, guilting a guy to go to a doctor and figure out his health care? What if we could actually ask guys, Why would you ever go to a doctor? What would make you want to go to a doctor on? Of course, The answer this question almost universally. They said, Well, if you could help me physically look better if I could physically game or muscle, lose some fat and have better endurance so I could compete if I could perform better sexually, if I could perform better cognitively in my mind how my mind works, if I could do those things that actually prevent bad things from happening, all I would totally go to a doctor on. That was really the start of all

I left ah, job at Amazon in Seattle and move my family. And by the way, I moved my 18 at that time 17 year old triplets in their junior year of high school to New York to take a role to build this company. And I have to tell you, I wasn't Father of the Year for very long in that moment. But I did it. And on day one I sat down and I thought, We're gonna build this company and I realized I was about 85% committed. I wasn't even 100% committed to this opportunity on, and I thought to myself, What the hell did I do that I moved my family across the country to build this? How is this going to work? And I remembered what was really motivating. It was this idea that we really could make a difference and could change the health care and the longevity of a population of people by building a healthcare delivery model that would be unprecedented. We could do something very unique, and that's really what we did. And so I found people like me who are equally motivated, equally excited, equally passionate, and we brought them in New York and we helped to build the team, and the opportunity was really about taking health care from a completely different view. Let's not go to the doctor. Let's take the doctor to the person. Let's take the clear to the person. Let's simplify the experience and make it friction free. And that's really the program that we built. And so I would say, over the course of the months of working together with our team, we found like minded people who believe that the same passion that I did, that we could actually make this difference, and that's exactly what we've done.
