Poster Child

Steve, I have been a value added person my whole life. The reason I call myself your “Poster Child” Is I have created successful businesses from large construction companies to medical research and software developing having been the first company to integrate the medical record with a proprietary data base management software system with over one million lines of code. It allowed me to look at data know one had ever seen before especially relational data, like geographic, diagnostic codes and procedure codes and physician proficiencies etc. this company had the potential to be a multibillion dollar company. Not to mention the medical advances that the system would have provided But here comes the poster child part at every level of government and across all my endeavors the federal, state and local government were there to put me out of business and often succeeded. I never gave up because one of your premises is if you love something you never work a day in your life (playing). My Friday night Essence is problem solving and creativity. Your messages rings loud and clear to me at so many levels. I’m so thankful that I did not rise every morning joining the masses in quite desperation but it has been frustrating and difficult. Hopefully this brief explanation gives you an idea about why I am Excited about what you are doing. I have so many ideas and incites I’m over flowing but have not felt comfortable in how and where to share them. Not any more. Thanks for including me in this great adventure. Sincerely, George D.
