- 7:05 - “Depending on the gene that was showing up within your genome you would have an 80 to 85 percent chance of developing, unfortunately, breast cancer so you can actually get treatment and get a mastectomy done to save your life and that testing led us to looking at how we can augment all the other data.”
- 14:58 - “When we founded Seqster we didn’t think Seqster was going to become law, just think about that. How many companies and how many founders have you spoken to that came up and created some sort of technology that became law, it’s incredible.”
- 21:50 - “Our team at Seqster actually saved my dad's life, it’s pretty amazing, and he dodged a bullet why and how, maybe the audience is thinking how did you guys save his life well if anyone knows anything about cancer every single minute counts.”
- 45:24 - “We didn’t have a business model and that’s why we’ve been able to build something that people like yourself and others just love and that’s because we built it with purpose and passion.”
