So it was you know, it was we were doing the things that made a lot of sense.

We did a lot of the foundational work that led to telemedicine and remote patient monitoring and chronic care.

A lot of a lot of things that are kind of standard today.

We did.

We have all the the arrows in our back and all the scars to show for being one of the pioneers of that field and even getting our.

our work into an act of Congress to kind of legitimize the whole field.

But that was always, you know, that was a big need, a big unmet need, but it was for other people.

I decided I didn't want to do another healthcare deal because life's too short for

healthcare technology company because things take forever.

And I didn't want to do another deal that needed another act of Congress.

So I left healthcare and I was doing things in consumer productivity and then that led to doing really fun things in the film world.

When COVID shut down the film world and then when AI came out, you know, kind of really kind of came out in a new way, kind of at the same time, I kind of brought those two worlds together of the character and story world of film and the new technology world of AI.

So I started building a lot of things that were

like bring characters to life from history, use this for education, use this to learn languages, use this to kind of talk to these artificial people called AIs and make them very empathic and very interesting and fun to talk to.

I was doing a lot of things like that.

When I ended up with a cancer diagnosis, I...

I started off by taking these kind of agent, agentic things I was working on and kind of applying it to my own medical record.

So the like a lot of people who have cancer diagnosis, you probably were misdiagnosed for a while before you got the diagnosis.

It seems to be I'm hearing a fairly common thing because.

you know, things kind of show up and, you know, take two aspirin and call me in the morning kind of, you know, works 90% of the time, but it's the other 10% that'll kill you.
