Great job in bringing something new and different to the pretty boring world of healthcare marketing!

Cheers to those who think differently!!!

Jared &amp; Peter really but some effort into this. If you are listening this to copy their idea and thoughts you might be missing what I feel might be the point they are trying to get across. Thank you guys for putting this out there! You had an impact for me that will be huge and I don’t think it was your intention, but for people looking for a way to change your thinking as you said it helps to empathize!!! Thanks again!!!
