Yeah, I am tenacious.

So I just have kept at it.

I think that one consistency is key with anything, right?

Whether it's an exercise program, whether it's diet, whether it's whatever job, learning your skill.

So I, and I also do it

because I believe people deserve the facts.

And I think about times where I've been victimized by misinformation, because it did happen to me after my kids were born.

They had incredibly complex medical conditions and people couldn't answer questions.

And this was the very early days of the internet.

And I got sucked down some rabbit holes and made some choices I wished I hadn't made.

And so I just started thinking about how that experience, you know, dealing with kids that were born at 26 weeks with congenital cardiac defect, with cerebral palsy, all these things.

And then I started thinking about, OK, well, now how how do I translate that experience to what my patients are having and why isn't there a good place for them to go?

And so very early on, I thought, oh, I'm going to fix the Internet.

Seriously, I was like a backpack on my back and I'm going to have a blog and of course people will come and I'm just going to post content.

And I just kept at it.

And initially, I think the traffic was a little bit slow.

And then I just thought, well, that I need to be myself.

I was reading stuff that...

I was writing in a far more, like if I was writing for a journal, right.

And I just decided, yeah, exactly.
