francine: worst piece?orst piece would be something that was influenced by, say, politics or spinning facts. i'm hyper-allergic to -- to politics and when you try to take advantage of a position. so, i have had one experience during my career where i gave my resignation because somebody, a close colleague, actually completely twisted some facts. we had just agreed how to approach. then we met with our shared boss, and my colleague just turned it around. i said, ok. integrity is so holy for me that if people play tricks, you know, it's not my game whatsoever. so i just said, ok, that's it, i'm out of here. we sorted it out. i still stayed. so, any advice that is not based on honesty, decency, and, you know, following the facts, i have a really hard time with. francine: thank you so much for your time today. lars: thank you, francine. ♪ your shipping manager left to "find themself." leaving you lost. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. sponsored jobs on indeed are two and a half times faster to fi

francine: gabrielle chanel was like a pioneer. and i feel like, when you talk about her, it's also maybe telling a little bit about your story. i mean, you have a unique story. you grew up in -- in a town in india where not manfemales were educated to a higher level. leena: yes. francine: so what was that journey like? leena: it was a long journey. it is -- i grew up in a small town in the southwest of india called kolhapur. and the world of luxury, refinement, sophistication was very far away from where i grew up. it was a small town like any other. most of my memories of me running barefoot in the town, or having my little bike and riding around. women being ambitious was not the norm. in fact, i remember my mother constantly telling me, "who will marry you, you are so ambitious," and "do you really know what you're going to do with your life?" and so, very limited access to role models, to opportunities. i did engineering after sort of convincing everybody in my family that engineering was good for girls, which was great. it wa

[laughter] francine: age 24. emma: 24.e: and it was the determination of actually making something. emma: yeah. do you know what it was? i felt like i was adding a lot of value. and i think so many people through their careers have this feeling, right? i am adding a lot of value and i'm not being renumerated for what i bring to the table. and that feeling became so strong in me, but what do you do? at 24, you don't really have that many options. and so, i did what a lot of people do. i went to a company and tried to do my best at the position that i was given. and thankfully somebody saw that and decided, ok, maybe we'll set this girl up on her own. but i talked to so many, either young people that i employ or people that are trying to get noticed. and i honestly think that is such amazingly good advice. because no one is ever going to look at you to do the next thing unless you are excelling where you are today. and so, sometimes just buckling down and doing the absolute best job at wherever you are is the best way to get

francine: but you have become a serious phenomenon. it's all over social media and people say the problem with this is that it could lead to more eating disorders. this is probably because of the increase in social media. what do pharma companies do, can they do anything to balance this? lars: we have spent some time on understanding what does this mean, what is the breath of it. and we have come to realize we cannot control social media. we tried to be present and get our messaging in. but then all of our messaging is to take a physician writing a script, so we focus on the physician to make sure they understand what are the mechanisms, who are the appropriate patients, and what it is. i think we have to also trust that the physicians will do what's right for their patients, and in they should for sure not prescribed for people with an eating disorder. francine: coming up, i ask him about criticism the company has faced over its prices, with some analysts predicting the weight loss drug industry could be worth $150 billion a year. ♪ w
