[SPEAKER_03] Welcome to the Prof G Markets Founder Series. I'm Ed Elson. Healthcare in America isn't just expensive, it's often out of reach. Nearly half of Americans can't access or afford quality care, and even for those who can, the system is broken. Long wait times push nearly 40% to delay or skip appointments altogether.

[SPEAKER_03] In 2017, my next guest set out to make healthcare more accessible, launching a platform that connects patients with doctors and treatments directly through their mobile devices. Today, it's grown into one of the leading telehealth companies, offering care across sexual health, hair loss, and weight management with no waiting room required. With more than 2.5 million subscribers, it is reshaping how people engage with care and redefining what the future of healthcare could look like.

[SPEAKER_03] This is my conversation with Andrew Dudum, co-founder and CEO of Hims and Hers. Andrew, thank you for joining me on the podcast. I guess I want to start with the founding story of Hims and Hers.
