Description
Fifty Years is launching SPEED, a show about leaders who move fast! We started this show to bring the fastest strategies and tactics to bear on the world's biggest problems! Episode #1 is with Deepika Bodapati of Athelas. Deepika and her cofounder Tanay started in 2016, college dropouts wanting to bring cheap blood tests to everyone. They’ve helped more than 150,000 patients and built a $1.5B company! We dive into what speed means to Deepika, and what the team did to become successful. We hear about the company's expansion from blood testing to remote patient management and billing support, how they set goals, Deepika's philosophy on speed, and so much more!
