LLMs are often the first “person” we talk to when we have a health concern.

This is especially true when the problem is not acute. If you have chest pain, you probably know you should not be debating symptoms with a chatbot. But if you are trying to optimize your sleep, reduce cardiovascular risk, understand your bloodwork, improve your diet, or decide whether a wearable metric matters, an LLM can feel like the perfect first stop.

I had an interesting conversation with my 4 year old daughter this morning.

Me: We usually wash your hair today, but you are going to swimming class after that anyways, so you will wash your hair anyways after that. Washing your hair now is pretty low RoI.

Her: What is RoI?

Me: Return on Investment.

Her: What is investment?

How do you explain investment to a 4 year old?

We have spoken a lot about delayed gratification. And how kids who exhibit delayed gratification are much more successful. She sort-of gets that concept.

I believe startups are best built by high agency individuals focussed on a joint goal.

Why? The nature of a startup typically involves:

1. A market opportunity - a problem faced by some set of people that is not being solved at scale.
2. A non-obvious solution - although the founders are typically in a place where the solution seems somewhat obvious to them.

That means often the path to take is not exactly clear and the primary thing that determines a startups success is the rate of experimentation.
