Chapters
My dream was to be an Olympian ski racer. I was drafted professionally when I was 17 years old. I was just about competing at the highest level. Unfortunately, when it comes to any sports, you are exposed to, you know, injuries. I made all the possible wrong choices, and that unfortunately culminated with a chronic deficiency on my knee, which compromised my professional alpine skiing career. When I immediately stopped, I worked on our family business. I have only one mission in life. I want to create an environment in which anyone has access to a better life. It comes with empowering ourselves with the right information. This is all that matters, to be honest, you know, like, because it's something that I've experienced myself. To be successful in this business, we want to count at the end of the year how many people feel better, They're free of pain, or they just are more self-confident because they're taking care of our healthcare.
