@OrcaHealth You are too kind! Thanks! I think this proves they need to raise their standards for "cool" or, that healthcare is screwed. :)

Thank you very much for the mention, that is very kind - just FYI, I was not the CEO of Health Hero - that was Steve Brown and later Derek Newell, but I was CTO/COO. And I made coffee and took out the trash sometimes. Life at a startup. :)
