“Hey everyone. I just wrapped up the In Women's Health mini MBA course and wow, what a great experience. Even as someone who spent the last several years really zeroed in on women's health, these last six weeks gave me new perspectives and really helped me sharpen my focus. And I wanted to take a minute to thank everybody behind it. Jodi and Rachel, you're amazing. And share some of my light bulb moments along with why I think the course is just such a terrific and invaluable investment. So here it goes. For starters, I really think that while this course is marketed as a course, let's be clear, this isn't just a course. Think of it as a networking rocket ship. You'll meet founders, execs, clinicians, innovators, and even if you already work in women's health, I think you're going to find surprising conversations, surprising connection, and really start to see the industry and all parts of it from some new angles. Secondly, as we all know, women's health has just absolutely exploded after the last several years. And getting a fresh lens on your place and also understanding that you could have an entirely new place within the ecosystem is just priceless. So no matter what you're doing today, I think that this course will really help you understand all of the pieces of the puzzle. And even better yet, you'll then be able to plan place those puzzle pieces. Considering an investor mindset, this for me was the biggest unexpected takeaway. It had just never, ever crossed my mind that I personally could be an investor in women's health. And while I might have some experience investing in other ways, investing in women's health is not specifically to try to figure out, you know, there's great financial gain to be had here. Hopefully there is. But that aside, it's really to gain those invaluable insights, to see someone as they are, live in real time, winning some, losing some, having to innovate, having to change course and learning from that and the concept that that could really help you be more of an insider. I thought that was just a really exciting opportunity and certainly one that I hadn't thought about before. And again, even though I've been working in women's health, understanding exactly how nuanced it is from so many perspectives. So even while I sit at a payer, understanding legal policy, so many various just ramifications that we have to consider, I felt like I was able to leave each course not with necessarily always a clear, but let's say, clearer understanding of why that was what it was, what we needed to do to change things for the future. And in the meantime, here's some things we could do that might work or suffice as workaround. Even if you're already in Women's Health, I just think this is a great opportunity to ramp up your energy. I mean, all of us understand there is a plethora of problems to be solved within the Women's Health space, and it's not always the easiest place to sit. The the work is hard, the work is heavy. I have often explained my role is literally pushing a boulder up a hill. That's how it feels sometimes. But to be with all of these other participants, these other women who are just so committed, who are so passionate, who are truly moving the needle and coming up with great, innovative ways to really change what we're talking about, just left me incredibly jazzed up and excited for each time. So if you're using this for anything else, I really hope that the bottom line message is that for anybody who's considering this, whether you're already in women's Health or you're thinking about how you could get into it, that you better go ahead and snag one of those upcoming cohort seats because you're certainly not going to regret it. So thank you again so much for this has just been a tremendous opportunity and happy to share and tell friends about it. Thanks again.”
