| 0:11.5 | Welcome to Motley Full Money. |
| 0:18.4 | Good morning. I am your host, Tim Byers. With me are two of my favorite fools, San Mateo, and Alicia Alfieri from the Rule Breakers team. |
| 0:32.2 | We're going to do a small debate here. And the way this is going to work, Fools, is that I am going to ask you to make your case |
| 0:40.6 | first for Progeny, then for Hems and Hers. I'm going to ask you a follow-up question, each of you, |

| 1:50.9 | approach. So of the six signs of the rule breaker, progeny has about, we'll say three and a half. |
| 1:57.1 | The most important part, I think, is their sustainable advantage. |
| 2:07.8 | They have a strong brand power and an excellent network with great clinical outcomes. |
| 2:10.1 | They have a strong brand in the core market. |
| 2:15.0 | They're expanding into services like pregnancy support and menopause care. |
