Wild Card with Rachel Martin · Melinda French Gates · 5 Feb 2026 podcast

I never felt I knew enough.

It was this whole perfectionism thing.

I never knew enough.

I couldn't be enough.

You can't know everything.

Take global health.

My God, it's, you know, 20 different topics in different places in the world.

We're still learning.

I may not know everything.

That's okay.

I'll ask some people here or I'll say.

I'll admit, oh, I haven't read that.
