Summary
There are no scrubs out there better than FIGS, and today your hosts are joined by Heather and Trina, the CEOs of FIGS Scrubs, to discuss their company and its mission to inspire healthcare professionals. They want to live in a world with more healthcare heroes, scientists, and tech advancements, and their goal is to support these people in the best way they know how. Heather and Trina disrupted the existing and lackluster scrubs market, creating apparel for all healthcare workers to feel their most comfortable and confident. They discuss what they did during the pandemic to help healthcare workers, how the colors and drops come about, and play a raid fire questionnaire to get to know them a bit more. They are the first two co-founders to make a company public so that everyone can stand behind healthcare professionals. This is an emotional and inspiring conversation you don’t want to miss.

| 2:02.1 | But as far as, you know, medical shows portraying, you know, what it's like working through the pandemic. I'm happy about it. I don't think we should shy away from it. I, you know, personally can't say how |
| 2:08.0 | accurate it is. I haven't been in the bedside. I can only go off of what my friends who are |
