0:00.0	One thing I've learned from interviewing a lot of founders and building companies myself is that
0:03.5	trust is the real currency of business. It's the thing that gets customers to buy, partners to say yes,
0:08.5	and investors to back you. But as you grow, trust stops being just a feeling and becomes something
0:13.1	you have to prove. Because the bigger you get, the more exposed you are, customer data,
0:17.4	security expectations, regulations, all of it. And the risk of one small mistake
0:21.1	becomes incredibly significant. And if you've ever tried to scale while keeping on top of all of that,
0:26.6	you'll know it can become a full-time job. But our sponsor Vanta automates your compliance

1:04.3	Yeah, you've just done it, you've passed.
1:06.1	But fat on your belly is more worrying than fat on your legs or on your arms.
1:10.1	And unfortunately, we've
1:11.1	started to normalise things like the dad bod without realizing that isn't how you're supposed to be.
1:16.2	And maybe a third of all the people in the world with type 2 diabetes don't even know they have it.
1:20.4	But every year that you have poorly controlled type 2 diabetes, you're losing 100 days of life.
