#7: An Interview with the Best Babysitter in the World Feb 27, 2023

Show notes

I have the special honor of being with Betty McGowan, the best babysitter in the world. That’s how I first met Betty, however, she is much more than that. A teacher, a mother, and really, a living saint. She grew up in Manayunk, PA, She had a tough upbringing, an alcoholic father, and little money. She loved playing sports, especially baseball/softball, and held many records for her high school. She had nine children but knew how to stretch a dollar. She often had ten people at the table for all her meals. There was no indoor bathroom for five years. The 10+ people in the house would use a single outhouse. There were times when there was no washer or dryer, but the kids always had clean and ironed clothes. Speaking to her children, she kept a beautiful home and did everything she could for them, although, at times, it wasn’t easy.

#3: The Developer of Lexapro Explains How Pharmaceutical Drugs Are Made Feb 03, 2023

Show notes

How are drugs approved in the USA? In this episode I talk with the developer of Lexapro, and many other world-changing drugs, about how clinical trials are run and how I could develop my own drug if I wanted to. Enjoy.

Ivan Gergel was born and raised in London where he went to medical school and became a psychiatrist. He then joined the pharmaceutical company GSK in developing new antidepressant drugs, famously some of the SSRIs we all are of course aware of today. This job took him to the US. Ivan Gergel was responsible for the running of hundreds of clinical trials, directed R&D for various pharmaceutical companies, and personally led the development and approval of 14 new therapies such as Lexapro, Paxil, and Namenda that have had fantastic impacts on patient’s lives. He currently is working in healthcare investing with new startup drug and device companies.
