Quotable Moments:

"You have to be the change you want to see."
"Healthcare should be maintained in our bodies in a preventative and proactive way."
"It's not that you're not important anymore. You are not going to grow your business unless you can replicate."
"Somebody has a father still in their lives because of the work we were doing."
"We're not trying to replace [the healthcare system]; we're trying to prevent the need for a lot of that stuff."

Action Steps:

Embrace innovation by questioning established industry norms: This encourages critical thinking and cultivates solutions that fit current and future needs.
Use storytelling to explain new concepts: Stories humanize abstract ideas and foster stronger connections with the audience.
Seek early adopters for testing and refining new ideas: This engages a dedicated user group to provide feedback and support the evolution of the product or service.
Develop repeatable and documented processes: This ensures consistency, aids in scaling the business, and maintains quality across the board.
Cultivate a mindset of collaborative growth instead of competitive hoarding: This enhances the potential for widespread adoption and improvement within the industry.
