Jeffrey, thank you so much for being here.

Thank you Phil. It's a pleasure to be on your stage today and I'm very humbled by the experience.

Thank you. So I said a lot of fancy words there and it was all really true because it comes from you and it's the truth for me. I'm really excited to learn about you Doc. So we're going to jump into the first question. What made you decide to quit the corporate, whether you were or whatever the corporate was and jump into the crazy world of entrepreneurship, specifically in our digital world.

So great question. August of 2015 is when I opted out of corporate America, specifically from the hostile work environment. Working extensive hours, 60, 70, 80 hours a week and it was a toxic environment. Being an ex software engineer of 2017 seven years and during the last five to seven years of my professional Career I had always in the back of my head was trying to formulate what can I do when I leave this world? What kind of an impact can I have? And what I was doing was filling the pockets of corporate America and that was not going to get me anywhere. So it came to the point where, you know, I ended up leaving corporate America from that really horrific situation and started to explore. And over the next two years I was finding, redefining myself, finding myself again if you will, and trying to determine what I was going to do. But during that I had, I was developing health issues and in 2018 my doctor wanted to put me onto a sixth medication because I was having problems with the other five. So I'm like wait a minute, this doesn't sound right.
