Open Up My Eager Eyes

Good morning! Great to be with you.
Rachael, Bryan and I get to work with health care visionaries that are seeing things differently.
Of course, they’re prescribing the necessary medicines and ordering the appropriate lab tests and performing the right procedures.
They are doing all the things they were trained to do.
But they see things differently.
They are getting out there and dancing in Oahu and then telling their 100’s of visitors that there are almost 13 teaspoons of sugar in a ‘small’ fast food drink.
13 teaspoons. In a small.
Our leaders in Lagos, Nigeria go for a walk and then confidently share that their participants just reduced their risk of Alzheimer’s by 50%.
Who wants Alzheimer’s? Raise your hand.
Aricept, a very popular Alzheimer’s medicine can delay it for a year.
Prevent it? Nope. 0 percent.
Our neurologist leader in Rockford is talking with a guest. A guest that’s been consumed since Christmas that she has a brain tumor. She shares that it really sounds like a textbook tension headache and they might want to try Tylenol as she awaits her appointment (still 2 more months out). Our guest now thinks she’s going to be okay.
Instead of just seeing patients in those cold, sterile white walls and asking, telling, begging them to be active, it’s totally different.
Our doctors are walking through lush green landscapes, cities, and mountains literally holding their patient’s hand or at least laughing alongside them.
Of course, this is the next normal.
98% of those surveyed want it to be this way.
This is what doctors in the future will do.
I promise.
Doctors are doing that now, though, right? You have 505 international chapters.
Yes and no.
Currently, there is not a single health provider doing this in Nashville (1.8M people).
I’m not picking on Nashville.
The same holds true for Pittsburgh (2.3M), Seattle (3.9M), France (67M), and Germany (82M)
Is there a doctor of the future in your neck of the woods?
A doctor that is going to listen to you, laugh with you and become your friend
I don’t want to tell you your business, but you should demand one.
It is the next normal.
There are 425 chapters in the US – one site for every 774,000 people.
Enough?
What are you going to do about that, Hammer? (0:46)

p.s. Thank you USC!! If you have a few minutes, check out the Soundcloud – perfection.
p.s.s. My favorite concert, I mean conference of the year, 2018? SHIFT.
