Thank you for having me, David.
I mean, I don't have a radio show, so, you know, there's that.
So neuropsychology is what I originally trained in, and that is brain-based behavior, right?
If you think about...
emotions and all of this stuff is kind of the software, you know, the hardware it runs on is the brain.
So, you know, when something goes wrong on the underlying hardware, it often produces the feelings that we have.
So if you have a brain injury or, you know, some kind of illness, you can really see that in sort of some of the psychological profiles people have.
So it's really the study of how those things arise, what happens when they go wrong, and how do we tell the difference?
Is that what she says about you?
Yeah, I think on a good day, you know, that's what you get sometimes.
You know, it's, she thinks, you know, I think she wanted me to be a podiatrist growing up.
She's like, you know, they make good money.
They don't work very hard.
I'm like, yeah, we got to deal with feet all day.
I don't think I could do that.
Apps were starting to come out and I said, man, I just wish there were people in my field smarter about these kind of things because we could do a lot of good with patients.
So I actually started building apps for military service members and veterans to help with a lot of the mental illness and challenges that they were having.
Um, so really there is not just in psychology, but in medicine in general is rise of clinicians who, you know, want to take that impetus of, I want to help as many people as I can and trying to adopt the economies of scale we see in tech.
Right.
Um, in the DOD, I had an app that had been downloaded by 4 million people and I'm like, I can never see 4 million people as a therapist, but.
