Transcript, structure and on-screen text
6 beats, a 231-word transcript and 56 lines of on-screen text — the parts you need to write your own version.
ok the backstory on this study is the best part. Harvard economist Rebecca Diamond only dug into this because a friend told her people started treating her completely differently after she went on a GLP-1 so she pulled data on 10,000+ people to check. So yeah… unemployed women who started GLP-1s got hired way more. But only the ones actively job hunting. If they already had a job, there was basically no bump. What this tells me is that it ultimately it comes down to the first impression.
