And so, but like, that's the Emerald Triangle. That's where all the weed was grown before legalization happened all over. And I ended up, you know, I liked it there, but I knew that there's not much there. It was like going, moving to small town, middle of nowhere. So I went to graduate school, studied negotiations, and then went to work at the World Bank.

So I went to graduate school, studied negotiations, and then went to work at the World Bank.
And the World Bank was, what I was thinking was, this is where I'm finally going to get to be at a place where you can make a difference in the world. Because I had always thought, you know, the Peace Corps, the reason they weren't able to save the world is because they didn't have enough money or public radio. They could, you know, do great things.

And I get to the World Bank and I'm like, oh, these guys have all the money. So we're going to finally be able to solve the world's problems. And that was when I came crashing into the reality that giant bureaucracies are actually pits of corruption. And it was the worst place on earth. And so I... Not to sugarcoat it. Not to sugarcoat it.

But I want to say that as emphatically as possible, because like... And later when I went to work at Monsanto, people thought terrible things about that place, but they thought great things about the World Bank. And I can tell you that it was actually the inverse was true. The World Bank was a terrible place. Nice people, great, great people.

But the core mission of the World Bank, I want nothing to do with. And so I ended up meeting my wife, getting married. And I said, well, my dreams are all shattered. What are your dreams? So she had been an aerospace engineer. And she said, I don't want to do this. I want to be a physical therapist. And one of the best physical therapy programs in the country is in St. Louis.

And so I said, let's move to St. Louis. So we moved there.

Well, it makes sense when you think about aerospace is all about movement through fluids, and so is physical therapy. It's about how does your body move? Why is it that you're injured? It's because your body isn't moving in the proper way. And so she studied a very specific kind of physical therapy called movement systems integration and became very, very good at that.
