So this was 25 years ago, which is crazy to say.
I thought- That's insane.
I'm gonna go out and I'm gonna help people and I'm gonna be a drug rep and I'm gonna educate doctors on like cutting edge treatments and we're gonna change the world.
And you get into that and we can get into it, but that's not at all what that was.
And so within a couple of years, I figured it out pretty quick for a kid that this isn't gonna work for me.
And I jumped out of that into MedDevice.
And I spent almost a decade working in the operating room with some of the best and brightest surgeons in America.
And I got a look behind the curtain of the surgical market and the hospital systems and the insurance systems and how all of this is an intricate network that's intertwined.
um and during that time frame is when i lost my brother to the opioid crisis which then led to me starting a pharmacy that build insurances and worked within the insurance framework trying to provide non-abusive non-addictive opioid alternatives to the american people a no-brainer like it's safer it's better it's cheaper and what i saw like just shocked me
And from there, I evolved into realizing I wasn't going to be able to stay alive as an entrepreneur in an insurance model.
And so it led to me finding a farm, building a pharmacy, breaking away, starting a cash pay pharmacy almost a decade ago, which was at the time, nobody did that.
Like nobody had cash pay farm.
People like, what are you doing?
You're going to sell meds.
Everyone has insurance.
What do you mean we're going to pay cash?
Right.
because that whole COVID event hadn't happened yet.
And the movement towards preventative care hadn't happened yet.
And I've been talking about preventative care, predictive medicine for almost a decade.
