David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

Right.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

Of course.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

used to giving or just the operation yeah um i don't know it's really tripping me out yeah that's a great goal yeah and it's harder than i want it to be yeah this kind of circles back to something we talked about a few weeks ago the give for fun and for free like that's what it is about i know i know i guess like i don't feel very judgmental of myself because like

David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

Like these are key things we need to know about each other if we're going to trust each other.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

I think peopleβ€” Well, there's some artistry to it.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

There is a way for peopleβ€”for you to let people find out stuff you've done that's good that isn't overtly braggy.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

Like, if someone's overtly braggy, yeah, it's immediately distasteful.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

But if you find out that Eric put a kid through collegeβ€” Yeah.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

You're, like, super proud, Eric.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

That's amazing, yeah.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

Yeah, and you would want to say to him, like, that was rad, dude.
