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
0:31.3	processes and brings compliance, risk and customer trust together through their AI-powered platform.
0:36.8	And the company's already using Vanta, say they spend 82% less time on audits because of Vantas platform.
0:43.1	So if your organization wants to inject time back into building and growing, make sure you head over to vanta.com slash diary.
0:49.7	That's vanta.com slash diary.
0:53.3	This may be the most controversial thing we have on this table.
0:57.3	This is a peptide that absolutely torches belly fat at a disproportionate rate.
1:02.1	And what we found is not only do patients lose an incredible amount of weight, but they also
1:06.2	get the best improvements we've ever seen in their liver health.
1:08.7	It's absolutely wild.
1:09.9	And I think this is going to be a trillion-dollar drug when it comes out. And I brought you here because you're an
1:15.6	expert on the subject matter. And it's worth saying that there was some significant news about this.
1:19.3	Correct. From the FDA saying that in July, they are going to consider legalize seven peptides.
1:24.9	And by pharma's estimate, it might be the most dangerous thing to their entire business model. So do you think it is plausible that big farmer didn't want these in the hands of regular people because they can't patent this and it's powerful? 110%. Because the question isn't what can peptides do, it's what can't they do? And we've got several peptides here in front of us.
1:44.5	I want to go through all of them. Let's do it. So this is probably the most well-known peptide for skin complexion, and it improves quality of hair and nails. And then epithelon is maybe, maybe not going to be the fountain of youth. But I'm very skeptical as far as that goes. Next, we've got this. If you injected that at night, it would improve your quality of your sleep.
2:03.6	Next, Mel've got this. If you injected that at night, it would improve your quality of your sleep. Next, Malana tan too. And this will actually end up giving you a deep tan in response to just a little bit of UV sun exposure. It'll also give you some of the most impressive erections you've ever had in your life, so be warned. And what else have we go? Oh my gosh. There's methylian blue where people take it and they think it's going to make them live forever.
