Following is simply a partial transcript (note errors are possible):
Bair: So uniquely among each of our clinician guests, you are the archetypal we've had who decided to forego aesculapian residency wholly aft finishing aesculapian school. We will, of course, research that decision. But first, tin you archer america what task superior is and however it differs from different forms of investing? Although astir radical person heard of task capital, I fishy galore person a alternatively vague oregon incomplete thought of what it is.
Norden: Sure, sure. Venture superior astatine the astir basal is moving with entrepreneurs and giving wealth to companies earlier they person existent fiscal metrics to truly merit that superior and merit that funding. So, practically, what does that mean? It means moving with founders and radical towards the thought stage, possibly concept, erstwhile they person thing precise aboriginal and past giving them wealth to physique it out, soma it out, and turn it into the imaginable for what you spot it could be.
Bair: Can you archer america what kinds of companies and technologies you put in?
Norden: As you mightiness guess, fixed benignant of the objective background, I absorption connected wellness exertion companies, truthful caller ideas astir however we tin usage data, however we mightiness beryllium capable to interact with patients, however we mightiness beryllium capable to assistance clinicians, however we mightiness beryllium capable to make drugs, what are ways we tin usage caller technologies to fundamentally alteration however we're delivering objective attraction oregon making that objective attraction possible?
Johnson: So, arsenic a idiosyncratic who has spent a batch of clip speechmaking a batch of exertion essays, immoderate for aesculapian school, much admittedly for interior medicine residency, due to the fact that that's wherever I've done the astir interviewing, but it's conscionable to accidental that I cognize for beauteous overmuch anybody who gets into Stanford Medical School, portion of their exertion is going to beryllium a precise high-minded, idealistic effort astir wherefore I privation to beryllium a doctor, which astir ever focuses, astatine slightest successful part, connected immoderate mentation of "I privation to assistance people" oregon "I privation to assistance humanity," oregon whatever. So, you know, astir people, not everyone, but astir radical erstwhile they constitute that essay, I think, person astatine slightest successful portion a thought that they truly privation to beryllium benignant of down successful the trenches, idiosyncratic to person, stethoscope connected the chest, helping a sick idiosyncratic to consciousness better.
So, I conjecture I'm going to spell up and marque a presumption that that was playing astatine slightest immoderate portion successful your determination to walk a zillion dollars and a zillion hours to spell to aesculapian schoolhouse and go a doctor. How did you get from that constituent A to the "no, actually, I privation to assistance crook ideas into companies" constituent B. Like however did that ideological displacement happen? What did it look similar for you?
Norden: Absolutely. So, I deliberation we person a just magnitude of clip unneurotic and truthful I'm blessed to effort to unpack arsenic overmuch of that arsenic imaginable due to the fact that it truly was a agelong travel to marque that transition. Like galore adjacent choosing to spell to aesculapian school, that process starts acold earlier the application. And for me, adjacent since an aboriginal age, determination was vulnerability to wanting to beryllium a physician. I saw that my begetter was a physician. There were aggregate physicians connected my mother's side. You know, they really didn't say, "hey, you request to spell into medicine," similar immoderate families do. But erstwhile I showed interest, erstwhile I was curious, they were blessed to benignant of exposure me, get maine to spot what's going on.
And truthful from a beauteous aboriginal age, I was funny successful being a clinician and what really cemented that, you know, similar many, was erstwhile a household subordinate got sick. And for maine it was an absorbing acquisition wherever I felt powerless. I was successful precocious school, I didn't cognize precise much. I couldn't truly contribute, you know, to the attraction of idiosyncratic I cared astir who yet ended up going connected a objective proceedings successful oncology and getting the attraction they needed astatine the National Cancer Institute, and truthful saw what emerging caller subject could really bash to idiosyncratic I cared astir arsenic an aboriginal acquisition successful precocious school.
Obviously, that's not enough. You treble down successful assemblage and aboriginal and you bash your objective shadowing and understanding, and I was afloat convinced by the clip I was acceptable to use for aesculapian school, this is what I wanted to do.
