| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Entrepreneurs the Playbook. I'm David Meltzer with this unfortunate view behind us in Newport Beach. |
| 0:06.2 | But I have an incredible guest that can change your life. Dr. Alexander with Corviva, |
| 0:11.8 | CEO and co-founder of Corviva. Thanks for joining me. |
| 0:14.8 | Thank you. Thank you for having me. |
| 0:16.0 | So I had to have you on the podcast because Corviva was a big surprise to me. I get approached by a lot of |
| 0:23.6 | different companies, especially being a middle age mutant turtle. I'm a perfect person to talk |
| 0:28.6 | about hair loss or longevity or whatever. Grass doesn't grow on a busy street, so we know how smart |
| 0:34.9 | you are. But more importantly, my own physician, I have a concierge's doctor said, you need to get a full body MRI. |

| 1:30.4 | process, an idea of a full body MRI? Yeah. And so to give the folks listening some background, |
| 1:37.8 | thanks everybody for coming. We created this company to essentially fill in a gap that existed in the market. So the gap is that |
| 1:46.2 | for women, for example, mammography age 40 every year, that's the standard screening. For men, |
| 1:50.9 | colonoscopy and woman, colonoscopy age 45, which I think is actually too late because we're seeing |
| 1:55.7 | a lot of cancers occur earlier in men and colon cancer. And then cervical pap smears for women. |
| 2:03.3 | That's it for screening. So what about pancreatic cancer? What about ovarian cancer? What about |
| 2:08.4 | brain tumors? What about brain aneurysms? What about fatty liver disease? There's no good |
