LET'S WELCOME OUR FIRST GUEST
AS SHE HE'S BEEN BRINGING SOME
MUCH NEEDED INNOVATION TO THE
HEALTH CARE SPACE CARE PORT
USES THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY TO
CONNECT HOSPITALS WITH
LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES TO
BETTER COORDINATE END TO END
HEALTH CARE COMPANIES. THEY
ACQUIRE TWICE. MOST RECENTLY IN
DECEMBER FOR 1.4 BILLION
DOLLARS AND JOINING ME NOW IS
LET'S SEE WHO
HE IS AS CEO OF CARE PORT
HELP OUT LINDSEY, THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR JOINING US THIS
MORNING. WHAT YOU SEE WAS
MISSING THAT LED YOU TO LAUNCH
THIS COMPANY IN THE FIRST
PLACE.
>> WELL THANKS SO MUCH FOR
HAVING ME HERE IT'S SUCH A
PLEASURE AND I WOULD SAY THAT
THE REASON WHY LAUNCHED AIRPORT
WAS AS A
DOCTOR WORK AND HOSPITALS I SAW
FIRSTHAND JUST HOW DIFFICULT IT
WAS FOR PATIENTS AND THEIR
FAMILIES TO FIND THE RIGHT
AFTER CARE. PATIENTS WHEN
THEY'RE AT A HOSPITAL AND THEY
NEED A NURSING HOME AFTER THEIR
HOSPITALS THEY WILL GET A LIST
OF NAMES AND ADDRESSES YOU KNOW
THE PHONE NUMBERS THERE'S NO
INFORMATION NOW THE QUALITY OF
THE NURSING HOME OR EVEN BASIC
ACTIONS SUCH AS THAT INSURANCE
IS A BETTER SINKHOLE CAN ACCEPT
AND SO I BUILT AIRPORT TO MAKE
THE PROCESS OF BOOKING A
NURSING HOME AS EASY AS BOOKING
A HOTEL HALFWAY AROUND THE
WORLD ARE OR RESTAURANT AND
I'M HAPPY TO SAY THAT WE'VE
COME A LONG WAY IN THAT
MISSION, YOU KNOW SOMETHING
LIKE OVER A
3RD OF PATIENTS COMING OUT OF
US HOSPITAL WE USE OUR SYSTEM
TODAY TO BOOK AFTER HERE.
HOW WOULD YOU SAY ENTREPRENEURS
OUT THEIR SUCCESS.
>> SLOWLY SHIFT POSITION THEIR
COMPANY TO BE ACQUIRED AS
SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN THROUGH
THIS PROCESS SEVERAL TIMES.
>> WELL AS A AS A
AS AN ENTREPRENEUR AND AS A
WOMAN ENTREPRENEUR, THERE'S
JUST SO MANY THINGS THAT
BALANCE THERE'S THE DAY TODAY
OF BUILDING
THE BUSINESS AND I THINK THE
BEST CEO THAT THEY'RE THINKING
ABOUT THE DAY TODAY, THE
BUSINESS ALSO DONATE TO
BE LOOKING OUT THERE OTHER
COMPANIES THAT MAY ACTUALLY
HELP THEM GROW FASTER OR SOLVE
THEIR PROBLEM
BETTER. I THINK THAT'S THE BEST
WAY TO POSITION FOR ACQUISITION
IS WHEN YOU CAN SEE ANOTHER
COMPANY AFTER IT HELPS YOU WIN
IN THE MARKET.
>> VERY GOOD ADVICE WHAT ARE
YOUR LEARNINGS AND TAKE A WAYS
FROM THE
PROCESS OF BEING ACQUIRED I
KNOW YOU MENTIONED THERE HOW TO
KIND OF VISUALIZE WHAT THE
FUTURE MIGHT LOOK LIKE BUT THEN
THAT ACTUAL PROCESS OF THE
ACQUISITION WHAT CAN YOU TELL
US ABOUT THAT.
>> WELL IT WAS AN ACQUISITION
YOU KNOW I THINK A LOT OF
ENTREPRENEURS THINK THAT GUY IS
THAT IS REALLY THE END ALL BE
ALL ALL OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND
CERTAIN I IT'S A MOMENT, A KEY
MOMENT IN THE COMPANY TO BE SO
GREAT AND I DO THINK THOUGH
THAT ONE OF THE PITFALLS OF
AN APP WAS IHSAN ARE STEERING
YOUR COMPANY TOWARDS AN
ACQUISITION IS THAT YOU DON'T
NOT A BAD OUT WHAT LIFE IS
GOING TO BE LIKE
ON THE OTHER SIDE AND REALLY
THINKING THROUGH HOW DOES MY
COMPANY FIT INTO THIS OTHER
COMPANY WHAT'S THE
CULTURE LIKE THOSE ARE THE
THINGS THAT I THINK MAKE IT AN
ACQUISITION SUCCESSFUL.
>> YEAH I WANT YOU TO TALK MORE
ABOUT CLOTURE OUT
TO SEA BECAUSE YOU'RE CLEARLY A
PRO HERE HOW IMPORTANT IS
UNDERSTANDING THE CULTURE OF AN
ORGANIZATION DURING THE
ACQUISITION PROCESS.
>> I THINK UNDERSTANDING
CULTURE IS SO IMPORTANT.
FOR ME AS THE CEO AND
FOUNDER I FELT A TREMENDOUS
RESPONSIBILITY TO MY TEAM AND
TO MY CUSTOMERS WHO HAD BEEN
WITH ME THE VERY BEGINNING TO
MAKE
SURE THAT THE HOME THAT THEY
LANDED IN WAS THE RIGHT HOME
FOR THEM AND I THINK FROM A
CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE. YOU
REALLY HAVE TO LOOK UP AND DOWN
THE ORGANIZATION FROM FROM
WHAT THE CEO AND THE EXECUTIVE
TEAM IS SAYING THAT THE WIRING
COMPANY ALL THE WAY
DOWN TO BP'S AND DIRECTORS AND
MANAGER TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND
3.60 BECAUSE WHAT I ALWAYS SAY
WHAT I LEARN TO TWICE NOW
IS BACK ACQUISITIONS OR ARE IN
AND THEY'RE THEY'RE JUST THE
BEGINNING.
>> SO WE DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT
YOUR PERSONAL JOURNEY AS AN
ENTREPRENEUR YOU ADD THE GRATED
FROM CHINA AT THE AGE OF 7.
HAVE YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO BE AN
ENTREPRENEUR.
>> NO THAT
THAT IS THAT IS IN SOME WAYS I
THINK I'M EVEN SURPRISED MYSELF
I NEVER SAW MYSELF AS AN I GROW
UP EVEN REALLY KNOWING WHAT
BUSINESS NOW AND AND I THINK
SOMETIMES PEOPLE THINK
ABOUT ENTREPRENEURSHIP THROUGH
THROUGH A A BIT OF AN ETHICAL
LENS WHERE THEY
ONLY EXTRA NUMBER OR CLASS
PRESIDENTS ARE PEOPLE AS
SOMEHOW BEING AN ENTREPRENEUR
SOMETHING YOU'RE BORN WITH AND
IF THERE'S ONE MESSAGE THAT I
COULD LEAVE WITH YOUR VIEWERS
TODAY IT WOULD BE YEAH THAT IS
A
FALLACY BACK ENTREPRENEURSHIP
IS ABOUT BEING PASSIONATE ABOUT
THE PROBLEM THAT YOU WANT
TO STOP AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS
A SKIP AND LIKE ANY SKILL CAN
BE LEARNED OVER TIME. AND I'M
CERTAINLY FOR ME THAT'S BEEN
THE CASE.
>> WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE A
LISTING FOR FEMALE
ENTREPRENEURS OUT THERE LOOKING
TO VISITATION
THEIR COMPANY FOR 6 S I KNOWING
THAT POST-PANDEMIC OBVIOUSLY AT
THIS WORLD IS A LITTLE
BIT DIFFERENT.
>> YEAH AND YOU KNOW I
THINK THAT.
>> FOR FEMALE ESPECIALLY IN
TECHNOLOGY CERTAINLY IT'S STILL
TENDS TO BE QUITE A MALE, A
NATIVE WORLD. I DO THINK THAT
THAT IS CHANGING N BUT WE ALL
KNOW AND RECOGNIZE THE DATA
SHOWS US THAT WE NEED TO SEE
MORE FEMALE ENTREPRENEUR
STARTING COME THE KNEES AND
HAVING THE TYPES OF SUCCESSFUL
EXITS THAT THAT WERE WERE SEEN
AND I'VE SEEN AT
THE AIRPORT. AND I THINK FOR ME
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING OR
I HAD ALONG THE WAY WERE GREAT
MENTORS AS I REMEMBER WHEN I
WAS
STARTING OUT I WAS I
I WAS TERRIFIED OF ASKING
PEOPLE FOR FOR INVESTMENT AND
ACT IT WASN'T ONE OF MY FEMALE
NOT ENTREPRENEUR MENTORS WHO
TOLD ME LET'S SAY YOU ARE
OFFERING THEM YOU'RE NOT ASKING
FOR A FAVOR YOU'RE YOU'RE
GIVING THEM IT
AN OPPORTUNITY AND CERTAINLY
YOU KNOW AT THE TIME IT WAS
DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE BUT TO
ACQUISITIONS LATER PEOPLE HAVE
DONE VERY WELL AND SO YOU KNOW
MY MESSAGE TO FEMALE
ENTREPRENEURS IS SIMPLE, YOU
HAVE TO BE GET OUT THERE YOU
HAVE TO TALK
TO PEOPLE AND YOU HAVE TO FIND
YOUR MENTORS WHO CAN REALLY
