So it's not just all the students and faculty and C-level people at Atrium Advocate and the surgeons.

It's also a place where the community can come through and

I want people to drive down the street and say, you should go in there sometime.

There's some amazing things happening on cardiac and neurology and cancer and all these things.

And I want them to share in the excitement that's happening here.

So I do think fun has a role in all of that.

Because I believe if things are fun, you can't keep people away.

If it's not fun, you can't pay them to go.

All these entrepreneurs are working long hours and putting a lot at risk.

And if we can bring that sense of joy to them, I think we've made it a place worth being in.

What do you think?

Well, I think I've always had kind of a sense of wonder about things.

I think that cancer diagnosis, you know, really had a lot to do with it.

Realizing that this life is an incredible gift and squandering gifts is, you know, it leads to a lot of unhappiness.

So, you know, we all should, I mean...

we're surrounded by riches where, I mean, there's just, everything is here.

And for us not to be grateful is, is really a huge missed opportunity.

I mean, you can always want more, but being grateful for what we have is, is a pretty great way to go through life, I think.

I think some of us have thicker skulls.
