[00:01:56] S4: The most, profound experience that I had in my career, in health care, and one that I consider my most important accomplishment was, in in my previous venture to to get more than 25,000 notes from people saying thank you for saving my life. I mean, really amazing. It was profound. I mean, from somebody who had dreams as a child, a computer geek, build things that have some impact, to really get tens of thousands of notes from people saying thank you for saving my life is something that, know, it's bringing me to tears right now just to talk about this. I mean, it's really like I'm getting goosebumps. I think that like the... It's just... It really is special. Always do what you love. Always do what you love, right? Like start by doing what you love. I mean, lot of people choose to do things because they're cool, because they're gonna make a lot of money, because it's fashionable, because somebody told them to do that, because other people are doing that, right? There are a lot of reasons. Just don't. Like, Go into where your heart is, right? Do things that you love. Why? Because when you do things that you love, it doesn't feel like work. And you are going to become a lot more successful and happier. Most importantly, it's [00:03:16] S5: not just about success. You want to be happy in your life. So follow your real passion and then everything else will follow, like the money, the fame, whatever you want to do when you do things you love, they will come.

[00:03:33] S4: Okay, nice to meet you. My name is Ron Gutman. I'm the co founder and CEO of Intrivo. We really, like at the beginning of Intrivo, the vision was to bring health and care to you where you are. Now, when the pandemic started, we tried to see where we can apply this to actually help resolve the pandemic. And then we started solving the challenge of how do we bring efficient testing to you. So initially, testing, if you remember, was a terrible user experience. We created this technology platform that enabled us to manage the entire supply chain. And I really would like to be part of creating a solution like that that will change the way we manage our health and well-being in a way that were just not possible before. And I think AI has a great opportunity to be the foundation for that. And I'm looking forward to the next chapter of how humanity managing not only health and well-being, but happiness as well, because I want more people to smile a lot more often. The whole idea of helping other people came from home. My mom raised me with the notion of tikkun olam, which is an ancient part of Jewish philosophy. And tikkun olam means in English, very simply, fixing the world. What does fixing the world mean? My mom used to explain that fixing the world is something that is important for me to engage in just because the world needs fixing. It doesn't need to give me anything. It doesn't need to have a reason for it. But because things are not the way they should be and I have the ability to make a positive influence for them, I should do it. And think about it, if everybody thought this way and pay it forward without even needing to get anything, our world will look such a better place. Every single day I do things that help other people improve their lives, improve

[00:05:29] S4: health and well-being. Some of these really important lessons that I've learned, first and foremost was traveling, traveling around the world. So I love travel. I love meeting people all over the world. I made it a point to meet people where they are and go and stay where they stay, eat where they eat, travel how they travel, volunteer as much as I could. And when I did that, I learned a lot from them. And that helped shape me as an entrepreneur because when you build solutions that are global solution, you need to understand the world. And understanding the world is not enough to just do internet research. I believe you need to meet the people and you need to see where they are. Understand all people are people and all humans are very much similar, but they have nuances. And if you understand these nuances and you understand different approaches to solving problems, it creates for your toolkit that is a lot richer when you tackle some of these challenges to not just look at it the way all of us look at a certain thing, but find different angles that may be more applicable for particular challenges than the tools that you have in your regular toolkit. So one, was definitely travel and I recommend, people to do that and particularly meet a lot of people doing that. Being in the valley in a time that was post the.comcrash actually, when most people left here and just a handful of people remained that were very, very passionate about building businesses. Some of these people that were very, very early in their career back then are some of the most successful entrepreneurs of our time today. But the people who really stayed here stayed because they were passionate about building things that actually make a difference and change the world. And having long conversations with them, you know, early in their career about how they think about building companies, how they think about building teams. Very early in the TED community, for example, the TED conference, before there was even TEDx, before there were like a million conferences, before there was even a website. I used to go to Monterey. It was like we used to go a bunch of people from Silicon Valley to Monterey every year. And it was a small handful of people that got together. It was all the people that started the most successful companies that you know in the world right now.
