Mars Inc. - The Chocolate Story (Audio) · Acquired
- ▶ 3:31:56 Ben Gilbert Even if everyone starts taking Ozempic, I don't actually think chocolate sales are gonna fall.
- ▶ 3:32:56 David Rosenthal I don't think chocolate is going anywhere, and the Ozempic risk for chocolate is way lower.
- ▶ 3:52:16 Ben Gilbert Well, if you like this episode, go check out our other episodes on LVMH, Sony, or Berkshire Hathaway, if conglomerates are your thing, or for more complex manufacturing, Novo Nordisk, the makers of Ozempec.
Renaissance Technologies (Audio) · Acquired
- ▶ 3:09:56 Ben Gilbert Well, really creator, or a person who led the team that created Liraglutide, which went on to become Semaglutide, which of course is Ozempic, Wegovi, et cetera.
Novo Nordisk (Ozempic) · Acquired
- ▶ 0:37 Ben Gilbert Today's episode is on the company behind these sensational diabetes and weight loss drugs, Ozempic and WeGovi.
- ▶ 0:46 Ben Gilbert Now, when I first learned about Ozempic a few years ago, I thought, of course, this is going to be amazing for a lot of people.
- ▶ 2:46 Ben Gilbert The crazy thing is, semeglutide, the molecule in Ozempic and Wegovi, was pioneered back by Novo Nordisk with the first trial in 2008 for type two diabetes treatment.
- ▶ 1:41:23 David Rosenthal That it is, but I'm pretty sure many of you know what that term means, or even if you don't, you've probably heard the marketing names for the current class of those drugs that Novo Nordisk has on the market, which would be Ozempic and…
- ▶ 1:51:36 David Rosenthal Not Ozempic, not Victoza, not Wegavi, something completely different.
- ▶ 2:03:35 Ben Gilbert So why is everyone freaking out about Ozempic now?
- ▶ 2:16:34 David Rosenthal Of course, Ozempic and Wegovy.
- ▶ 2:16:39 David Rosenthal Ozempic is the diabetes marketing product, and Wegovy is the weight loss marketing product.
- ▶ 2:19:13 David Rosenthal So, 2018, Ozempic finally hits the market for diabetes, and then in 2021, Wagavi gets approved for weight loss.
- ▶ 2:19:23 David Rosenthal Ozempic does over a billion dollars in revenue in 2019.
- ▶ 2:19:42 David Rosenthal These drugs still Ozempic and Wagabee could do a lot more revenue than they are doing right now.
- ▶ 2:21:20 David Rosenthal People were already quote unquote misusing Ozempic for weight loss before this.
- ▶ 2:21:26 David Rosenthal So like Ozempic supply was fully exhausted.
- ▶ 2:22:12 David Rosenthal In 2020, right before all this hit and as Ozempic was coming online, the market cap had climbed back up above a hundred billion.
- ▶ 2:27:32 Ben Gilbert The price of Ozempic to treat diabetes is north of a thousand dollars, and Wegovy for weight loss is north of 1300 dollars per month before insurance, and this is in the U.S.
- ▶ 2:27:46 Ben Gilbert In Canada, of course, Ozempic is 147 dollars a month.
- ▶ 2:33:00 Ben Gilbert I'm not saying the government should pay for every single person in the country to be on Ozempic.
- ▶ 2:36:29 David Rosenthal Ozempic and Wegaby will continue to be huge hits.
- ▶ 2:49:28 David Rosenthal Ozempic has become such a buzzword.
- ▶ 2:49:32 Ben Gilbert Normally there isn't, but that's one of the breakout things about Ozempic is there actually is brand power.
- ▶ 2:49:38 Ben Gilbert The first time I heard about Manjaro was 18 months after I'd heard about Ozempic, and I was like,
- ▶ 2:50:02 Ben Gilbert Most people know, I read on the cover of the New York Times that Ozempic is a breakthrough, and I heard about it at the Oscars because a joke was made on stage.
- ▶ 2:50:14 Ben Gilbert I think for the first time, and it's happened a little bit before, but for the biggest time in a while, Ozempic has actual brand power.
- ▶ 2:51:00 David Rosenthal But you're right, Ozempic has become this brand name.
- ▶ 2:51:04 Ben Gilbert Vitamin O or Oz
- ▶ 2:51:50 Ben Gilbert Well, so I think most of the time in pharma there's none, but with Ozempic, so I think there's two ways in which GLP-I's used for weight loss resemble consumer tech products.
- ▶ 2:52:36 Ben Gilbert That totally exists with Ozempic.
- ▶ 2:52:45 Ben Gilbert There's a little bit of a taboo around sort of saying I'm taking Ozempic, but people know you lost weight.
- ▶ 2:52:55 Ben Gilbert Ozempic can go viral in a different way than most pharma describes going viral.
- ▶ 2:53:07 David Rosenthal I think this is just incredible word of mouth marketing because I don't think other people actually get a benefit from you taking Ozempic.
- ▶ 2:53:24 Ben Gilbert If I'm taking Ozempic and I'm ashamed of it because I'm the first person, if a million more people start taking it, then it is actually better for me.
