Hello all you amazing PT's and PTA's. I couldn't let this week go without saying thank you to the thousands of you who watched that last video and the hundreds of you that commented on my, my plea, my like, challenge and that I sent out to the void and I was expecting nothing back. It inspired me to see so many of you just like jump in and add comments and have all these brilliant ideas, as many brilliant ideas as I could have thought of. It was overwhelming. And so what I'm doing right now is I'm taking those ideas and I'm going to compile them and put them together and start presenting them to this group of leaders who are willing to take the time out of their crazy million patient care week, million patient visits per week to read a little bit of someone else's comment or watch one of the videos and share. Because I think that's how we're going to do this, is by keeping this discussion going. I don't know where we're going to go, but man, I can feel it. I can feel like the beginning of change occurring. And so, yeah, I say let's do it. Like, let's change this profession. I mean, what do we have to lose? We literally have put in hundreds of thousands of dollars.
And countless years of our lives. This precious time that we get in this life that we never get back. What if we could turn this thing around and like, make this the best profession, like the leader in healthcare for preventative medicine and whatever vision we want to create around this, like, why not? I am totally confident we can do it after seeing how one simple request for help was responded with such this avalanche of brilliance and leadership. And I'm so grateful you're here with me in it. So after last week's video, I went out of town. Couldn't let this week go without saying thank you. I love you. I'm so excited to spend this time with you figuring this thing out. I think it's going to be awesome. So have a great weekend. I'll send out a video next week. Yeah, I'll talk to you later.
