Boomer, how are you doing today, brother?
Nick, I'm doing so great.
But like that introduction was fantastic.
I thank you for putting a smile on my face ear to ear.
It's going to really, really bring out my chipmunk cheeks today.
But Boomer, bro.
I hope that doesn't happen, but if it does and I sprint out, you'll know why.
So, Mick, again, thank you so much for having me here.
It's going to be a lovely conversation.
The through line for everything that I do is challenging the process.
And if it's okay, I want to elaborate on that for a second.
So if you read into my background, you'll see that I grew up the son of both a yoga teacher and a person who worked in operations and finance.
Went into investment banking and then had one of these hockey stick type careers in investment banking.
I decided at the age of 30, looking around and seeing everybody doing my job was 60 years old, that I wanted to do something else.
Left, and ironically, as soon as I resigned, was serving out my resignation period and went in for a series of health tests.
And at that moment, which was sort of the pivotal moment in the transition into this health world, I found out that I had cardiovascular disease at the age of 30, which is
actually the leading preventable cause of death in the world.
And what the doctors at that time asked of me was to take a statin, which again, I have nothing wrong.
There's nothing wrong with the current healthcare system.
