>>Erik: Tell me a bit more about how you married that focus on medicine and business and how
that involved not only through school where we met down in Durham, North Carolina, but

>>Shaheen: A lot of it is role models. You have to have people in life who you look up
who you think are doing cool and interesting things. If you do not have these things I
think you are a little lost. You are looking for someplace you are trying to get to. I
had role models, people did things at the intersection of medicine, the intersection
of business, who I thought were doing amazing things and I wanted to be like them. That
got me interested in it and once I got there I was exposed to new things. You never probably
realized you liked Thai food until someone took you to a Thai restaurant.
