In this episode of The DNA of Things, we sit down with Adora Cheung, a serial entrepreneur and investor known for co-founding Homejoy and later becoming a partner at Y Combinator. Adora shares her journey from building and scaling startups to a wake-up call about the toll of hustle culture on founders' health.
We dive into the myths of burnout, the shortcomings of traditional healthcare, and why founders should treat their health as a business asset. Adora opens up about her own health struggles post-Homejoy, how she realized the flaws in the system, and what led her to create InstaLab—a company designed to empower people with proactive, data-driven healthcare without the usual red tape.
We also explore:
- The dangers of prioritizing success over well-being
- The role of personalized biometrics in longevity and performance
- How entrepreneurs can optimize their health without sacrificing their grind
- Why access to essential health tests shouldn't be a privilege
If you're a founder, creator, or leader, this episode is a must-listen. Because the best entrepreneurs aren't the ones who burn out—they're the ones who build for the long game.
