    One Doctor's Journey

    EXECUTION 
    Watch this. This video is a portion of a larger video which I highly recommend you watch, but the key piece is is the lead in to 11:30 of this video. They literally talk about knocking on 100 doors and what NOT to say. edit: Your "lizard brain" is telling you "what if no one likes it - what...

    One Doctor's Journey

    EXECUTION 
    The only thing I would caution is that the point of presells for you (since presumably you have the resources to build the product and are only doing this for validation) is to guage interest and not nessesarily make hard sales. The population of people who will buy based on trust and a...

    One of the many ironies of working in the medical field - you take care of sick people all day, yet you are absolutely never allowed to call out sick yourself. Have you presold at all yet? I know you mentioned validation in a previous post - aside from your personal belief and the belief of...

    MARKETING 
    Try just being honest(ish) - say you do this for your current employer from another state/city for whom you work for remotely, and wanted to see if local businesses could benefit. Most small business owners care about results more than whether this is a side gig for you or not.

    Everyone is always asking for step-by-step handouts - this post is further proof that if one uses the search function, they will find those nuggets on this forum. Rep+ for sharing. Also, consider targeting first responders (fire, police, EMS) - sunglasses are very important accessories to...

    Ebola in the USA... Anyone Concerned?

    HEALTH 
    What I find more concerning about this is that you'll see increased infection and mortality rates if substantial resources are devoted to ebola. The airborne, deadly viruses killing people right now in the US (like enterovirus d68) won't get the negative pressure rooms and special attention that...

    I'd be less worried about riots and more worried about air strikes from nations that require dollars to pay for oil and suddenly find themselves with worthless dollars sitting in their national banks. Highly unlikely scenario.

    His testimony today was very disappointing. This has been totally bungled from a crisis communications perspective, and ununfortunatelye has eroded trust in what was, until recently, one of the most respected federal government institutions.

    Everyone should be prepared to stay in their house with no running water and without opening any doors or windows for 72 hours. If you have a family and especially children, you need to take your responsibility to them seriously. As an anecdote, a few years ago DC encountered a major blizzard...

    You're not understanding what I'm saying - I'd love it if we could force hospitals to do commonsense stuff like that, but we can't. We just have to hope that corporate-driven hospitals see it in their generous hearts to supply the extra hand sanitizers out of their profit margin.

    1) That represented 80% of the items cited as waste. 2) Visitor centors are also easy to pick on, as are infrastructure improvements at other places like airports. And I agree, $100M goes a long way toward better research. But let's not get carried away with getting angry at the headline...

    It's easy to throw stones at basic research - the titles seem rediculous and wasteful. But what would Thomas Edison's basic research title have been for the invention of the light bulb? Studies On Glowing String? The fact is that 1) the federal government has an apporpriate role to play in...

    Another note about public expectations - it takes a crisis to change how things work. Think about how you feel as a citizen about this hypothetical statement: "Passenger screening at Dulles Airport is, as is all law enforcement matters, ultimately a state function. We, as the TSA, issue...

    Ebola in the USA... Anyone Concerned?

    I think the important thing to realize with issues issues like this is the disconnect between what the public expects (and what politicians lead us or would like us to believe) and what the law allows. The public expects a robust, federal-level response to issues such as this. What the public...

    Our military CBRN responders are not incompetent boobs. Trust me, I understand and have experience with government incompetence, but despite perception it's often much more complicated (and government agencies are much more hamstrung) than the news would let on.

    (what follows is my personal opinion and not the view of any government agency) With great respect - our federal government can't compel hospitals or states to do anything like this. Our hodge-podge of 50 states, 2500 health jurisdictions and 5,000 individual hospitals are essentially...
