This episode (254) features an interview with John Crowley, who shares his journey into the rare disease space. John's involvement started in 1998 when his daughter Megan was diagnosed with Pompe disease, a rare form of muscular dystrophy. Determined to find a cure, John and his family embarked on a journey of research and entrepreneurship, ultimately founding a biotech company that developed a life-saving enzyme therapy for Pompe disease. Despite initial challenges, including financial struggles and personal sacrifices, John's perseverance led to successful treatments for Megan and other patients. Today, Megan and her brother Patrick are thriving adults, actively contributing to society despite their condition. John's commitment to patient-centered care extends beyond his personal journey. As CEO of Amicus Therapeutics and now as CEO of BIO, he continues to advocate for rare disease patients, emphasizing the importance of universal access to treatment and addressing barriers to healthcare. Throughout the interview, John's resilience and optimism shine through, serving as an inspiration for others facing similar challenges. His dedication to making a difference in the lives of patients and his unwavering determination highlight the transformative power of hope and perseverance in the face of adversity.

Our teacher today is John Crowley. It is difficult to appropriately describe John and the Crowley family's story without drawing comparisons to superheroes. Harrison Ford gave it a shot, and the result is Extraordinary Measures, a blockbuster movie he starred in, alongside Brendan Fraser and Kerry Russell. The movie is based on Gita Anand's book The Cure, which tells the story of John and his wife's journey to save two of their children from a then-untreatable disease called Pompe. Thanks to John, that's no longer the case, and now more than 20 years later, both of his children and many others with Pompe are not only still living, but thriving. Since that time, John's gone on to build several successful biotech companies, including Amicus Therapeutics and Novozyme. And just a few days before the release of this class, it was announced that John is now the new CEO of Biotechnology Innovation Organization, or BIO, which is the leading biotech advocacy, education, and policy organization in the world. There's nobody more purpose-built to give us a history lesson on the biotech industry. Please enjoy this class with the incredible John Crowley.

John Crowley, Chairman & Former CEO of Amicus Therapeutics, joins the show to discuss the strides the biotech industry has made in therapies for rare genetic diseases and the industry landscape going forward. This interview originally aired as part of Wharton Business Daily's Business of Healthcare special. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It was on a Friday the 13th in late winter 1997 when John Crowley's life changed forever.  John and his wife Aileen had been noticing concerning symptoms in their infant daughter Megan for several months, and after a few rounds of testing she was diagnosed with a rare form of muscular dystrophy known as Pompe disease.  Doctors told the Crowleys their daughter likely only had a few years to live, an outlook that ultimately sparked John's remarkable efforts to find treatments for Megan as well as her younger brother Patrick, who was also struck with Pompe. His family's amazing journey was the inspiration for the movie Extraordinary Measures starring Brendan Fraser and Harrison Ford.  Join host Shiv Gaglani in this captivating and inspiring conversation with Crowley, now the Executive Chairman at Amicus Therapeutics, to learn about how he and his team are shedding light on some of the rarest diseases in the world, the promise of new technology in genetics, and the need for an Operation Warp Speed to develop rare disease treatments.  As Crowley puts it, “We can beat nature, we think, in the years and decades ahead. We just oftentimes have to beat time.”Mentioned in this episode: https://amicusrx.com/

We've had the privilege to work with Amicus Therapeutics on multiple occasions and each time we are moved by their commitment and consistent execution of their corporate mission. This virtual patient panel they facilitated is no exception! Three weeks into the company's work-from-home arrangements due to COVID-19, Amicus wanted to continue connecting their team members with each other and the patient communities they work on behalf of. We were honored to moderate the conversation between Naomi (from the UK), Mike (from New Jersey) and David & Karen (from Arizona) for the global Amicus team and their families. The panelists helped us laugh, encouraged our resilience and inspired us to maximize our time as we embrace the rare disease journey and cope in times of uncertainty.

Necessity is the Mother of Innovation: The birth of a child, the death of a loved one - There are events in our lives of such significance that they shake the very foundation of our being. In 1998, John Crowley had a promising law career when his family received a shocking medical diagnosis; Pompe disease, a rare genetic and often fatal neuromuscular disorder, would ravage the bodies of John’s two children, leaving them dependent upon breathing and feeding tubes within 12 months’ time. Blind-sided by the cruel twist of fate, John began a race against time. From leaving a stable job to pursue a cure, to launching his biotech company, Amicus Therapeutics, John shares his gut-wrenching and inspiring journey. Our next guest was serving in the United States Marine Corps when he became frustrated with the lack of relocation resources available to military families.

Necessity is the Mother of Innovation: The birth of a child, the death of a loved one - There are events in our lives of such significance that they shake the very foundation of our being.  In 1998, John Crowley had a promising law career when his family received a shocking medical diagnosis; Pompe disease, a rare genetic and often fatal neuromuscular disorder, would ravage the bodies of John’s two children, leaving them dependent upon breathing and feeding tubes within 12 months’ time. Blind-sided by the cruel twist of fate, John began a race against time. From leaving a stable job to pursue a cure, to launching his biotech company, Amicus Therapeutics, John shares his gut-wrenching and inspiring journey. Our next guest was serving in the United States Marine Corps when he became frustrated with the lack of relocation resources available to military families.

In this episode of Biotalk podcast, Josh Hamermesh, Vice President of Locust Walk interviews Bradley Campbell, President& COO of Amicus Therapeutics. Amicus is very much at the forefront developing and commercializing important therapies to treat a range of devastating rare and orphan diseases. In fact, this has been an eventful and exciting week at Amicus as the company announced the launch of Galafold in the UK. Galafold is the first oral treatment as well as the first precision medicine product for patients with Fabry’s Disease patients.

John F. Crowley is the Chairman and CEO of Amicus Therapeutics, a publicly traded biotechnology company, which he helped to found in 2005 and is now a 300+ person company in 22 countries. John's involvement with biotechnology stems from the 1998 diagnosis of two of his children with Pompe disease -- a severe and often fatal neuromuscular disorder. In his drive to find a cure for them, he left his job and became an entrepreneur as the Co-founder, President, and CEO of Novazyme Pharmaceuticals in 2000, a biotech start-up conducting research on a new experimental treatment for Pompe disease (which he credits as ultimately saving his children's lives). In 2001, Novazyme was acquired by Genzyme Corporation for nearly $200 million. John and his family have been profiled on the front page of The Wall Street Journal and are the subjects of a book by Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Geeta Anand, The Cure: How a Father Raised $100 Million -- and Bucked the Medical Establishment -- in a Quest to Save His Children. The major motion picture Extraordinary Measures, starring Brendan Fraser and Harrison Ford, is inspired by the Crowley family journey. John is the author of a personal memoir: Chasing Miracles: The Crowley Family Journey of Strength, Hope, and Joy. John also served as a commissioned intelligence officer in the U.S. Navy Reserve from 2005-2016. He was assigned to the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) and is a veteran of the global war on terrorism, with service in Afghanistan. He graduated with a B.S. in Foreign Service from Georgetown University, and earned a J.D. from the University of Notre Dame Law School and an M.B.A. from Harvard. He previously served (2014-2016) as the National Chairman of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America and is a founding board member of the Global Genes Project. John is a Henry Crown Fellow at The Aspen Institute. This is an incredibly powerful episode. Enjoy! Show notes and links for this episode can be found at www.fourhourworkweek.com/podcast. This podcast is brought to you by iD Commerce + Logistics. I'm asked all the time about how to scale businesses quickly. Rule number one: remove unnecessary bottlenecks. Many businesses can do so by outsourcing inventory management and fulfillment to a company that makes this its primary focus. iD Commerce + Logistics is just such a company. It helps online retailers and entrepreneurs outgrow their competition by handling all types of details -- from inventory to packing and shipping. I depended on iD to handle these types of details when I launched The 4-Hour Chef so I could focus on promoting the book. As a listener of this podcast, you can get up to $10,000 off your start-up fees and costs waived by visiting tim.blog/scale or idcomlog.com/tim. This podcast is also brought to you by Wealthfront. Wealthfront is a massively disruptive (in a good way) set-it-and-forget-it investing service, led by technologists from places like Apple and world-famous investors. It has exploded in popularity in the last two years and now has more than $2.5B under management. In fact, some of my good investor friends in Silicon Valley have millions of their own money in Wealthfront. Why? Because you can get services previously limited to the ultra-wealthy and only pay pennies on the dollar for them, and it's all through smarter software instead of retail locations and bloated sales teams. Check out wealthfront.com/tim, take their risk assessment quiz, which only takes 2-5 minutes, and they'll show you -- for free -- exactly the portfolio they'd put you in. If you want to just take their advice and do it yourself, you can. Or, as I would, you can set it and forget it. Well worth a few minutes: wealthfront.com/tim.***If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?
