All right. Well, welcome to the show, Bethany. I'm so excited to be speaking with you today. [00:01:35] Bethany Corbin: Thank you so much for having me, Lindsey. I'm honored to be here. [00:01:39] Lindsey Dinneen: Awesome. Well, let me just start by asking you if you don't mind, to share a little bit about yourself, your background and what led you to MedTech. [00:01:48] Bethany Corbin: Absolutely. So I'm an attorney by background, which is not the traditional path that one would think of when we think of medtech. I actually, when I went to college, I wanted to be a doctor and get kind of into the biology and the sciences, and I realized I was actually really terrible at them. It was not where my skillset aligned at all and I had to do a bit of recalibrating ,realized that I loved kind of research, writing, learning about new things, and ended up going into law from there. When I first went into law, though, I was actually in financial services and litigation, so it was like the farthest thing ever from healthcare and medtech, and it was horrible. I actually hated it. And, from there, I ended up getting a clerkship in DC and that gave me time to really consider what I wanted to do after that clerkship ended, and really where I wanted to focus my practice. I have been involved in healthcare since I was eight years old. My mom actually had an illness where doctors continually dismissed her. And so it took us seven to eight years to get a diagnosis. So, I had a lot of background with healthcare, then had a lot of background in healthcare with my grandparents getting sick. And so for me, healthcare was always something I was really interested in. I started to look into health law. I actually, at the time that I was doing my clerkship and going into my next job was doing a healthcare LLM-- so essentially a master's degree for lawyers in healthcare law, and I ended up transitioning into healthcare law from there. I was doing big law in Washington, DC at the time, doing your traditional healthcare things right? Like your managed care pharmacy, benefit management all of those kind of things--some healthcare privacy. And, it was great. I actually got the opportunity to teach law at my alma mater, and it was while I was there, it was in 2018 that I actually came across the term femtech for the first time, and I had never heard this term. I got really interested in it, really excited about it, and I started focusing my research portfolio and scholarship on femtech. So I went and did my first conference on femtech, wrote my first paper on femtech in that time, and really started to see the impact that this could have on women's healthcare going forward. So I actually left teaching went back into big law in order to focus on femtech and while I was there I realized that a lot of the companies that were creating these products were startups. And of course, big in big law, you're not really working with startups, you're working with those larger corporate institutions. So I actually left big law, went to a smaller firm where I could start and focus on a femtech practice and work solely in digital healthcare. And I absolutely loved it. I got a lot of expertise and knowledge, and then from there branched out into having my own firm focused on femtech and working with early stage founders to help them bring their products to life, to revolutionize women's healthcare. So I know that's a long roundabout way of getting there. I'm now running my own firm, and I have a book on femtech that's coming out this fall. [00:04:41] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh my goodness. First of all, I love hearing the background and the winding path that led you to this incredible calling, and I would love, okay, so many things stand out, but let's start with your book. Can you share about that? Because I am personally very excited about this, and I would love to hear about your journey and writing it, and then what's it about and how can we even get a copy. [00:05:02] Bethany Corbin: Yes, absolutely. It's so funny, right? 'because if you had talked to me three years ago and told me I would write a book, I would've said that you were crazy. And it's interesting. My book is called the Femtech Revolution, and it's really about harnessing digital health tools to improve and help to transform and revolutionize women's healthcare because for so long, women have been left out of the conversation about healthcare. Our bodies haven't been studied. There's a lot of disparities that we have and a gender data gap that we have when it comes to women's healthcare. And this has continued today. When my mom, you know, when I was eight years old, she was continually dismissed by doctors and told it was in her head. Coming full circle, I had my own women's health issue very unexpectedly in 2021, and my pain was actually dismissed and mismanaged with my surgical team. And so seeing that occur in today's environment and how little we've grown in women's healthcare and innovation over that time period was something that, for me, was really a driving factor, not only in my transition to femtech, but also in writing this book. Because there's been studies that have shown that about 89% of women have actually never heard the term femtech, and yet it's this entire multi-billion dollar industry that's being created for us, but we don't know about it, and we can't get access to it because of all of the censorship and stuff that happens online. So we don't even know this exists. These tools are being built, and then we're not seeing a lot of investment or adoption into the tools because we don't even know they exist. So then, the companies can't get the consumers that they need. And of course we're also living in a time in which we're in this post Roe v. Wade environment where, I'm sure as people remember, there were a lot of calls to delete your period tracking app, and things like that when the Dobbs decision came out. And so when I've been working with startups, I always do it from a very consumer-centric perspective, which is we want to maximize privacy for consumers, we want to give them accurate tools and devices that they can use. And we want to be promoting health equity so that these tools can be available for women regardless of their income and their status and their circumstances. And as I was working with startups, it dawned on me that there's actually nothing out there for consumers and patients telling them, "Hey, this industry exists," but B: how do you navigate this industry with all of those considerations in mind, and avoid these products that are probably just going to be fake products, right? ...or inaccurate products, and they're actually going to do more harm than good. There's nothing that tells consumers how to navigate that space. And so I thought, "I'm going to write the guide for how consumers can vet these products in under 15 minutes, and how they can navigate and understand this space. So that's where The Femtech Revolution came from. It is a playbook for women to not only understand the background of women's health, how we got here, why we're being neglected, but also to then say, "I want to use these digital tools. Here's how they can help me in my health journey. But here's how I vet them." I created a four step framework for vetting products. It's called My Safe Method. So it, that's based on security, accuracy, foundation and equity. And it's really focused on making sure that you as a person and a consumer are choosing products that align with your privacy goals and your security goals. So your health data's not at risk, and you're choosing products that are accurate and how you actually tell that versus products that claim they're accurate but actually have no scientific backing. It focuses on foundation too, so looking at who is comprising the company, right? What are their values, their goals, so that you can make sure you're supporting companies that are in women's health for the long term instead of just to profit off of us. And then of course, equity, right? Making sure that we're. Choosing and selecting solutions that are going to be usable by the majority of women regardless of racial, ethnic status, income status--any of that. We want to make sure that we are developing products that have the core of women's health in mind. So that's really what the femtech revolution is about, and it's just about empowering women and showing them how to navigate the space in a way that's never been done before. [00:08:54] Lindsey Dinneen: Wow. Well, I am so excited for this book. I cannot wait to get my own copy. Are you doing pre-sells right now or how is this working? [00:09:03] Bethany Corbin: Yes, the book is available at all major booksellers right now-- Amazon has it, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million. And then for companies or individuals who want to purchase bulk copies, there's actually a way to do that through Porchlight that gives you a discount. It comes out September 23rd. But if you pre-order, you'll get a signed book plate and you'll get all of these other resources that I'm creating kind of behind the scenes to actually compliment the book. You'll get all of those in digital form free because of the pre-order. There's a link on my website. Site. If you go to femtech lawyer.com, there's a book section and there's a form there that you can complete after you'd make your pre-order and you'll be signed up to get all of those great things. [00:09:42] Lindsey Dinneen: Excellent. Ooh, this is so exciting. Okay, awesome. [00:09:44] Bethany Corbin: It is, you know, and I will say it was so far been a number one new release on Amazon for health law. And it was also listed in Publishers Weekly in its preview for fall books alongside books like Dr. Sanjay Gupta that's coming out. So, it is, it is getting some attention, which I'm very thankful for because we really need to drive awareness to this space. [00:10:03] Lindsey Dinneen: That is amazing. Congratulations. I'm sure this is just the beginning of its success and I cannot wait to see, where it goes and how it changes lives and, improves so many women's experience with healthcare. So thank you for writing it and congratulations on its success already and just, it's just the beginning. [00:10:20] Bethany Corbin: Thank you. I'm, I'm so hopeful. You know, the goal is really to get this in the hands of as many people as possible, just so that we as a collective group, have the power to change women's healthcare if we act together. And so this book is really kind of that rallying cry for saying, if we're not going to do it now, are we ever going to do it because we've, we have the resources, we have the momentum for women's health right now, but we have to band together to show our interest in this industry. [00:10:44] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. So on a very practical side, what are maybe just a few key things that women can do to advocate for themselves in a situation where they are being dismissed, their symptoms are being dismissed, people aren't taking them seriously, or they're like , " you don't know what you're talking about," kind of thing. So what are some of the just very practical things that women can do in order to advocate for themselves? [00:11:09] Bethany Corbin: Oh, absolutely. You know, and we also have a chapter in the book that focuses on EmTech, specifically, how you can actually take your data and use it to advocate at the doctor's office. So I'll, I'll go into some of those tips as well. But, you know, kind of from a, from a high level perspective, the first thing that I always recommend is. If you think that you're going to be dismissed at all, take a friend, a family member, or call the clinic and see if they have a patient advocate's counsel and take a patient advocate with you because you're much less likely to be dismissed if you have somebody there with you at the appointment whose job it is to advocate for your needs. And I found, too, that women are a lot less likely to be timid and kind of shy and sit back in those scenarios when you have another person because you know, if you don't speak up, they're going to, and that adds, you know, just a little bit of empowerment to that office visit or the doctor's visit. So that's kind of the first thing. If you ever feel like you're going to be in that situation, potentially, bring someone with you. It's another set of ears as well. If you are dismissed, you've got somebody there who's able to back you up and support you if you know you needed to make a claim out of it. So that's kind of the first thing. The second thing I always say, too, is make sure that you're taking your own notes, whether it's at the visit or right after the visit. Be careful about using apps like notes or things like that from a privacy perspective, right? You want to have. Either an app write or a piece of paper that is going to be protective of your privacy and not upload all of your health data into some cloud system without encryption. So just keep that in mind. But make a note if you felt like you were dismissed in the doctor's office about everything that happened, your concerns, how they were addressed, and make sure that you keep that paper or that application or note somewhere where you can access it if you need to, if you know you end up having an adverse health event down the line. The next thing that I always say, too, is if you are dismissed in the doctor's office, don't just accept it. Ask why they're not proceeding with additional testing. And if you think that there's a particular test that you would like to have and your doctor continues to say no, or they can continue to refuse to do any type of follow-up, ask if they'll refer you to a specialist. You can say something that's very simple like, " I understand that you're not willing to look into my condition any further, but I feel that further investigation is warranted. Can you please refer me to a specialist who may have more expertise in this area. If they're unwilling to do that, the other thing that I also always say is make sure that they put a note about the dismissal in your medical record. And a lot of doctors are going to be very unwilling to do this, and it can cause them to reconsider. So I always tell patients, say, "Can you please note in my medical record that my concerns, desire for additional testing were declined by you." And, oftentimes that will be enough for doctors to take a step back and say, "Do I really want that to be in writing in a patient's medical record from a liability perspective?" And, it can cause them to give you that extra testing because they don't want that dismissal noted in the record. If they don't, then you've got that dismissal noted in the record, which can be very helpful for you going forward if you ever needed to pursue a claim. And then the last thing I will say is, as women, a lot of times we are very, you know, we want to be seen as getting along, right? We want to be friendly, right? We want to believe that our doctors have more knowledge about healthcare and medicine than we do. But, only we know our bodies. Only we know how we are feeling. And so, if you're continually being dismissed and something in your body's telling you that, that's wrong, listen to it. Push back and get a second opinion, go to another doctor. Don't be afraid of being seen as confrontational, or difficult, or things like that because in the end, it's your body, it's your health. And, if you have something that's seriously wrong and it's not caught, you're, unfortunately, the one who's going to pay the price. So just remember that it's not about being difficult or confrontational, it's about saving your life. [00:14:55] Lindsey Dinneen: Oof. That is powerful, and that is great advice. Thank you so much. Even just listening to just that snippet, I feel personally more empowered to have those kinds of conversations with my healthcare providers if and whenever needed, because I feel like I have better tools and even phrasing. So thank you for sharing that. I think that's really helpful. Yeah. [00:15:16] Bethany Corbin: 'Course. [00:15:18] Lindsey Dinneen: So to your legal side of things, can you share what do you do right now? How are you helping in the femtech space --these different companies that are really in need of support from a legal perspective. What is your role in that, and how do you support those folks? [00:15:34] Bethany Corbin: Yeah, so it's interesting because, whenever I worked at large and smaller law firms before I branched out onto my own, one of the things I continued to see was early-stage companies really kind of... They had their idea, right? They're somewhere between ideation and their Series A fundraising round, and they would come to us for legal advice, but they wouldn't have a ton of money, and we would have to turn them away--we would say, "We get it. You're not ready for us yet. Come back when you have X amount of money and we'll help you." And, when they would inevitably come back at that higher price point, we would say, Great, here's 10 things you've done wrong in the interim and now it's going to cost you double the amount of money to fix that." And that, to me, was heartbreaking. You know, because so many of those things could have been fixed early on and, nobody was really providing that support. So, I found a gap really, for these early stage companies who needed legal support, but really didn't have a lot of places to turn. So, whenever I branched out with my own law firm, what I did was I actually specifically chose to focus on those companies somewhere between ideation and Series A fundraising round, where I could guide them through those startup phases in a way that was not going to be cost prohibitive to them, and would allow them to get that early foundation set so that they could grow scale, build, get excess capital get investors, all of that type of thing. So my role, it's interesting because it straddles two lines, right? It's of course legal advisor, but also there's a bit of, you know, kind of business planner in there as well with them and helping them conceive their ideas, right? Helping them kind of think about which features work or don't work from, not only practical perspectives, legal perspectives, but consumer perspectives as well. And so I get to wear a lot of those different hats. So, on a typical day I might do anything from advising clients on corporate structures, you know, how they want to set up their business. Is it a corporation? Is it an LLC? Working through those equity issues--how you think about equity for co-founders, or for investors, or for your employees. I do a lot of that. I do a lot of setting up very specific corporate structure models. There's actually a lot of corporate practice of medicine laws out there that prohibit individuals who aren't doctors or medical professionals from owning companies that provide medical services. And, it's very interesting because oftentimes the people who want to build these companies and make money are not the doctors who would be providing the services. Investors, for instance are not doctors. So there's a very interesting corporate structure that you can create that gets around that in most states. I do a lot of that to help my company stay in compliance with the laws. I also do a lot of privacy work. So I have several privacy certifications, and privacy is one of the key areas that I'm very passionate about. But, I help companies with everything from their privacy policies, to disclaimers, to thinking through how their different features in the app could compromise privacy, and kind of everything in between there--security, cybersecurity, and really working with them to think about it from a consumer perspective. I actually am selective about the clients that I do take on because there are so many companies out there that want to prioritize money over the patient experience. And so I'm very cautious to work with clients that want to make sure that they're doing things right and really wanting to make sure that they protect patient privacy. I do a lot on the patient privacy front. I do a little bit on the fundraising side with my clients, as well. And then of course, everything from contract drafting and negotiations. I do a lot of that as well. And I've actually co-written a book on contract drafting before. [00:19:02] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh my goodness. So, okay, first of all, that's awesome. I love all of this. And you know, I was thinking as you were talking, I was like, "Oh my goodness." I love how you're helping your clients and I love your your passion for especially helping clients succeed who they are about more than the money. Everyone has to make a living, so that's important too. But, I love the fact that your heart is for those people who are so invested in actually changing lives, and that's their primary driver and motivation. I think that's really powerful. And then, listening to you talk about this, I'm like, "Okay, so you've got this amazing, probably more than full-time opportunity, you've written a book and then, you're also CEO of Fem Innovation and a mentor with Femtech Lab. [00:19:48] Bethany Corbin: Yeah, I did a lot of mentorship through Femtech Lab. They were kind of an accelerator program for femtech companies, and I've worked with other accelerators over that time, as well. So it's the pro bono advice that you're able to give to some of the early stage startups across the world throughout their early stage journey through those programs, which has been really great and fascinating to work with. And then through Fem Innovation, our focus is a little bit different there because we're focusing on both startups and medical professionals. We actually have a course that we've created that teaches clinicians and healthcare professionals about femtech, how to get involved in femtech, and how they could be using those tools to actually support patient care and help empower their own patients because there's such a lack of knowledge even among clinicians today femtech exists, and how you incorporate it, especially if we're thinking that there's so many tools out there, and the risks associated with them--how do you know which ones are appropriate as a clinician, that type of thing. We've also seen a lot of clinicians wanting to get involved with femtech companies as advisors, or even as part of their boards or, coming on as medical professionals in those companies. And so some of the courses that we've done before have been focused on that as well, on helping them interact and get those roles with femtech companies. So we kind of see ourself at fem innovation as an ecosystem builder. We've obviously I have the legal side but now we're bringing in the clinicians, getting them integrated into this, getting them connected with the startups because it's their industry. This is what they're working on. But, there's oftentimes such a disconnect with the tech companies building the products and the healthcare professionals. And then we do offer some other additional non-legal resources to founders as well. [00:21:27] Lindsey Dinneen: Wow, that is incredible. I-- good gravy. I love your heart for all of this. And I also am like, I don't know how you-- I think you must have a superpower of like squeezing more time into your day-- somehow you just add hours miraculously. [00:21:42] Bethany Corbin: You know, it's so funny whenever I worked at, whenever I worked at a firm, a couple of my colleagues would come to me. They'd be like, "How do you get everything done? Like, there's gotta be 10 of you because how are you doing it?" And honestly, I honestly, it's just because at this point I don't have kids, and so I'm kind of able to really devote all of my time to working. But no, it's, but I get such fulfillment out of it too because I really feel like we're pushing an industry forward in a way that hasn't happened before. And, getting to see all the new companies come into the space, the new organizations that are supporting the companies, it's been really heartwarming to see all of that. And, you know, on the horizon, we're also hoping to loop in the consumer side a bit more as well. Obviously, you know, the book that I've written is very consumer focused. It can also be used, you know, by clinicians or by startups who want to make sure that they're doing the right things. But, to date, as well, there also really isn't a single location for consumers to go to, to find all these companies. And we have so much censorship that happens that unless you know exactly what you're looking for, you're probably not going to find the companies that are out there to serve you. And so we we have a partnership that's in the works right now to actually build a database of all those femtech companies and products and have them vetted to a certain extent, or information on there to a certain extent, about clinical accuracy, and privacy, and those things that I talk about in my book. So that's kind of the third component that we'll be weaving in later this fall. [00:22:58] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh my goodness. How exciting. Oh, I am, I'm so thrilled about all the work that you're doing to push this industry forward and to really make a difference in women's health and, you know, you're such a thought leader in this space-- what was it like stepping into more and more leadership roles to the point of leading your own firm. What was that journey like for you? [00:23:20] Bethany Corbin: Scary, I will say. You know, it's, interesting because I've always thought of myself, you know, kind of as somebody who could be the backbone of a firm, meaning that I do a lot of like the behind the scenes work, right? A lot of the legal research and writing, and that's kind of what I had made myself in at big law, and you know, also in the smaller firms that I worked with. Whenever I decided, I, was actually initially going to take a break before, you know, starting my firm, I was going to take two years off. I lasted five months. Oh no, I'm sorry--I lasted five weeks. Excuse me. And by that point in time, I had clients knocking down my door saying, "Where did you go? We need this kind of help. Nobody's out there providing it." And so that was kind of the impetus to say, "Okay, I'm going to start the firm earlier, you know, right now. And, I'm going to also look at kind of this ecosystem building, because of all the pain points that we were seeing." And, so I will say. I, went into it probably unprepared. I, never, if you had told me three years ago that I would have my own firm, I would've said you were absolutely crazy--more crazy than me writing a book. And I'm, very glad I did it because there's something to be said about kind of plotting and planning your own trajectory and, you know, being able to pivot with your clients instead of having layers of bureaucracy that you have to go through. So, I have loved it from that perspective. I'll also say it's definitely been the most challenging thing that I have done because as a leader, you're responsible for all the decisions. You're responsible for the trajectory, you're responsible if you're not making money. And you know, there's of course that fine line, right, between philanthropy and making money, and walking that whenever you are really, really wanting, you know, to help every single femtech company that's out there can be difficult. So I would say, that can be a little difficult sometimes, and making sure that you have the right support system to actually allow you you know, to bounce ideas off of them or, get feedback, and being able to pivot when those initial ideas don't work. That's been something that's been really critical for me is pivoting. This really isn't like the first time, you know, this isn't like the first idea I had, for fem innovation and things like that. So, so being a leader is definitely challenging, and making sure that you kind of develop your own leadership style and leadership, you know, capabilities as well while you're through this journey has been something that I've been working on, too. [00:25:27] Lindsey Dinneen: Mm. Yeah. Yeah, and, you know, it's a fun, thing because if you're, if you're passionate about helping people, which is clearly at the heart of who you are, and you desire to see improvement in the industry, but in individual people's lives, then as a leader, you're able to take that passion and allow it to help you in developing those leadership skills, and building onto them as time goes by, because you are already starting from a place of deep care and respect for others. And that's a great start. [00:26:01] Bethany Corbin: No, that's exactly right. And, you know, I love what kind of comes with it too, is a certain level of creativity that we often don't think about whenever we hear the term leadership. But, for me, it comes with that level of creativity where I'm actually able to build something, almost from the ground up, and that is really exciting. I can kind of plan it, take it in different directions, I can pivot with it. And, that to me is just--it's really exciting because as a leader, right, you often think, you've got management, right? You've got delegation, right? You have all of those things that sound bureaucratic and boring, but there's this underlying current of creativity that I think gets missed a lot. [00:26:37] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. I love that. I love that you highlighted creativity because I think that makes everyone's lives easier, right? If you have that flexibility to... this is such an overused word, but to pivot, I mean, it's, it's just, it's true. And so being willing to come at a problem or a situation with curiosity and go, "Hmm. I'm not sure that that's working the way I intended, or hoped it would. And then go, "Okay, what are some creative solutions to this?" And, maybe that means looking outside of your industry, too, for ideas. I think sometimes we can get kind of stuck like, "Oh, this is how the industry is, and that this is what they do," and then we forget that.... But that, you know, that's not necessarily bad or wrong, but we sometimes forget that we can learn from all sorts of different sources and, then bring it together, and creatively handle a situation that we might not have otherwise been capable of doing. [00:27:27] Bethany Corbin: Oh, exactly. And, the other thing too that it's really done as well is make me a bit of a better lawyer, right? Because as a lawyer, it's interesting, there's always this tendency when you know something is going to either violate a law, or not be the best in practice, to say "No" to your client. And, so for me, right, clients never want to hear the word "No." And, being a leader has, has allowed me to come up with some other creative solutions for my clients where I can say, "Okay, we can't do it the way you've proposed, but here's a different creative solution that I think could get around these key roadblocks. And, so for me, with my clients, it's about trying to say, "Not that way, but this way." Right? Kind of like a "Yes, but" rather than a "No." And I kind of take that same approach in leadership, too, because I want to make sure that, you know, with the people who are working for you and things like that, that you're making sure that you're meeting their needs, as well. And so it's really caused me to adapt to kind of a "Yes, but" framework rather than like a flat out, "No, we're done." [00:28:24] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. That's really cool. And, that's a great example of how you can approach, again, a problem with that mindset of, "Okay, hmm. That will not work the way that you hope it will work. However, I've got an idea." [00:28:40] Bethany Corbin: Exactly. It's so easy to say "no," but coming up with this creative solution--that's the fun part. That's really the rewarding part. [00:28:47] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Well, speaking of rewarding parts, I wonder if there are any moments that stand out to you along your journey so far of really affirming to you, "Wow, I am in the right industry at the right time, in the right role." [00:29:01] Bethany Corbin: Yeah. You know, it's, it's interesting. I think kind of the first instance of that, that I had-- so I had a very unexpected women's health issue. I ended up with fibroids that were so large, I was the equivalent of six months pregnant. And, they were crushing some of my internal organs. And I'm that person, right, who... I go to my doctor every year, right? I get my annual--I get all my checkups, and things like that. And somehow all of this was missed. And, so whenever I had to navigate that journey as a patient who-- and I have all of this, obviously, advocacy experience, right--legal experience. I'm navigating this at the height of COVID. I'm getting referrals and consultations with Mayo Clinic, right? I'm getting the best care that I can. And then seeing how even when you can do everything right, you can still be dismissed... For me, that was a moment in which I said, "I'm not in the right industry at the right time," because at that point in time, I was still in big law, and I wasn't doing anything really related to femtech. I had kind of resigned myself to not doing that--j ust given some of the internal politics of the firm where I was at at that time, and their desire to not expand into the health-tech industry. I had that experience, and all I could think of was, "This is not what I'm meant to be doing. I had this experience for a reason, and if I'm not going to make something out of that, what have I learned? Why did I go through this?" That, for me, was the turning point to say, "I'm leaving big law, and I'm going to a smaller firm, and I'm going to work on femtech. And, I'm going to see where this pans out." It was so scary, right? Because you're leaving that high six-figure job, and something you're good at, the work you know, the people you're comfortable with, and you're going into something where you're making half as much money, learning a new industry. And I would be lying if I said I didn't cry my first week on the job, because even as a healthcare lawyer, digital health law and health-tech, medtech--all of that is so different than traditional healthcare, and there's so much to learn. And honestly, I felt like I was back at school in a course that I didn't understand for a week. So, there's a lot of challenges with that. But, fast forward a few years, we had the, you know, unfortunately the Dobbs decision come out, and that for me was really an affirming moment where I said, "I'm definitely in the right industry, at the right time because I'm helping these companies build privacy practices and policies that are going to be protective of consumer data in this world. I'm helping to build an industry where women can get access to care in less traditional methods that won't compromise their privacy and their data." And one of the moments that stands out to me --one of the highlights--is I actually got to testify before one of the congressional committees on reproductive health data privacy. And, you know, it was funny, I was actually on vacation at the time. I was in Greece, and we were supposed to be on a ferry going from one island to another. And like the night before I get this request to come and testify on reproductive health data privacy. And I was like, "Yes, I'd love to." And, of course, the timing was exactly when we were going to be on the ferry with no internet. So, we actually had to charter a helicopter so that we could get over to the other island, get there, get me set up with the internet in order to testify. So that was kind of like my, my full circle moment where I really felt like I was having an impact, and being able to even influence some of the policies in the future of reproductive health privacy. And then every day since then, I have just loved getting to work with these companies. And, as we continue to see the trajectory of women's health in America, it's just really reaffirmed that we need people doing this type of work for me. [00:32:37] Lindsey Dinneen: Wow. Oh my goodness. Well, first of all. Wow, what powerful stories you were sharing. Oh my goodness, that is incredible. Thank you. Oh, I, wow. I just like, I was like so interesting how life works sometimes and the unexpected adventures that unfold, and I bet your, your creativity-oriented mindset helped you even in that circumstance, be like, "Okay, so we can't do the ferry. I have to do this. I know I need to do this. How do I make it happen? I don't know. Let's charter a helicopter." Cool. [00:33:12] Bethany Corbin: It was definitely a moment. I tell you, it's one that has just remained in my head since then. It was just very funny when it happened. [00:33:19] Lindsey Dinneen: That's amazing. "I'm going to do this." I love it. Oh my word. Okay. Awesome. Well, gosh, this conversation is so good. I know I could probably talk to you for hours and learn so much, but I do want to pivot the conversation a little bit just for fun. [00:33:36] Bethany Corbin: Absolutely. [00:33:36] Lindsey Dinneen: So, so, okay. If you were to be offered a million dollars to teach a masterclass on anything you want; it can be within your industry, but it doesn't have to be, what would you choose to teach? [00:33:49] Bethany Corbin: Ooh. I love that. I love that question. Ooh, a million dollars to teach any class that I wanted, you know, I would probably create a class that would be... I would say it would probably be at maybe like the high school level I'm thinking. You know, because whenever high school students go through those health classes, I would want to start early, there, for women to teach them all about the ways in which they can advocate for themselves and stand up for themselves at doctor's offices, right? Things, for instance, period pain that they're probably having there, and thinking that's normal, right? Telling them about, you know, how that's not normal, how that you don't have to normalize your symptoms and your pain. Here's how you can protect and advocate for yourself at a doctor's office. Here's how you can use the tech that's out there to protect yourself, because even though, you know, a lot of tech is for 18 up, we know a lot of teenagers are using, I mean, the period tracking apps are like the number or three most used app for adolescents, so pretending it doesn't exist is not helping anyone. But, we have to get to women sooner and empower them at an earlier age, so that those lessons and that knowledge carries with them as they navigate the healthcare system for the rest of their lives. So, for me, I think it would be a course that was really focused on the early high school student, teaching them all about how you navigate not only femtech, but health-tech in general, the healthcare system, how you advocate for yourself, how you have those conversations with your doctor without feeling embarrassed, and why that's so important. [00:35:22] Lindsey Dinneen: Wow. Yeah, that would be a really powerful class and so needed, and I love the idea of starting that way, that that would be a part of just education in general, so that, you know, everyone benefits from that, it's a win-win when we, when we advocate for women, help them understand how to advocate for themselves, and how to protect their longevity, their health. You know, that's really cool. I love that. [00:35:47] Bethany Corbin: I would love, I would love to do it. That would be a dream, really kind of creating a curriculum to incorporate into health classes for high school students. [00:35:54] Lindsey Dinneen: Ooh, maybe your next writing project. [00:35:56] Bethany Corbin: There we go. [00:35:57] Lindsey Dinneen: More to do... when you find yourself bored at some point. [00:36:01] Bethany Corbin: That's right. That's right. Next week. [00:36:03] Lindsey Dinneen: Right, right. Amazing. Amazing. Okay. And how do you wish to be remembered after you leave this world? [00:36:13] Bethany Corbin: Oh, interesting. You know, after I leave this world I would love to be remembered as somebody who participated in the women's health movement. We think back, you know, of course like to the suffragists, right? And you know, all of those amazing women who helped get us the right to vote... I want to be considered part of the women who helped get women's healthcare on the map with men's healthcare, right? That helped really spur this movement forward for women. So I don't even need to be remembered by name, right, but just as somebody who was involved in that movement, and was very active in promoting women's healthcare and getting us to the place where women aren't being dismissed and we're being taken seriously. [00:36:51] Lindsey Dinneen: I love it. Beautiful, beautiful legacy to aspire to. And you're already, you're already there. So that's, that's an encouraging thing. You're working on that right now. [00:37:00] Bethany Corbin: Oh, thank you. [00:37:01] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. And then, final question, what is one thing that makes you smile every time you see or think about it? [00:37:10] Bethany Corbin: Ooh, I love that. Ooh. Okay. So one thing that makes me smile, I have so many things. I'm usually not ever, like, not smiling. Okay. So I have, I have a couple obviously I'm a huge pet lover, so my dogs... we're getting to the point where they're a little old now. One of them's 15, one's 13. But, any kind of animal, pet --especially little puppies, I love... so that's, that's something that makes me smile all the time. I will say, I also have a slight obsession with books that have sprayed edges. Which, you know, is, is becoming a major thing now. So it's, it's really cool. But there's actually artists who will paint the edges of books, and I'm a huge book lover, so I actually have a library of sprayed-edge books that I just love looking at, and they make me smile all the time to see the different, you know, artists and artwork on the bookshelves. [00:37:58] Lindsey Dinneen: That's awesome. Oh my goodness. Yes. Well, I can relate to all of that and I. I, yeah. That's so fun. I love that too. Animals always make me smile. I mean, it's like a running joke around people that know me. It's like, okay, if you bring an animal around, I'm going to be like, "Can I hold it? Can I touch it?" Like, instantly. [00:38:16] Bethany Corbin: You know, I've, already warned my family. I'm like, "If anybody... if you guys die, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have 10 pets. Like, it's just going to happen. [00:38:22] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. [00:38:22] Bethany Corbin: I'm not going to be able to control myself. [00:38:25] Lindsey Dinneen: Right. It just... Yeah, that's what happens. I get it. Oh my word. Well, this has been such an amazing conversation. I'm so thankful for you and for your time today, and gosh, just sharing so much practical advice, and insight, and your journey. So first of all, thank you so much for doing the work that you're doing, for being in this industry, for pushing it forward for being somebody who is a pioneer and your own version of suffragette. And, I really love what you're building, and I'm so thankful you're doing this work. So, gosh... I just wish you the most continued success as you continue to work to change lives for a better world. [00:39:00] Bethany Corbin: Oh, thank you so much, Lindsey. This has been so great talking with you, and sharing the knowledge, and I'm so hopeful that we can push this industry forward together because we do have the power to change it. We just have to act on it. So, thank you so much for helping to spread the word. [00:39:15] Lindsey Dinneen: Absolutely. Amen to that. And, thank you so much to our listeners for tuning in, and if you're feeling as inspired as I am right now, I would love it if you would share this episode with a colleague or two, and we'll catch you next time.
