of the things that's interesting as I was thinking about your trajectory, your background, by the way, I love the diverse opinion and perspective you bring to healthcare. But one of the things I've discovered over the last several years, not only working in the space, but in some ways, navigating some family challenges and tragedies, candidly, has been the need for an advocate, right? Healthcare, as patients sort of navigate this complex morass that is our healthcare system, having an advocate, is there a parallel in music that you would analogize to, assuming you agree that having an advocate is a critical piece of getting to a great patient outcome?
Speaker 1
Well, you'll like my answer here, which is that there are a lot of lawyers involved in the music business too. I think, I mean, this is maybe a little bit of a stretch here, but I'm going to try to indulge the question. I love it. Bring it on. I mean, in that art and commerce tension is the reality that most artists don't primarily find their source of meaning in money. And so their need to navigate the music industry in order to have a career does sort of force them to be dependent on these intermediaries who are effectively translators between the art and the commerce. And so artists are often surrounded by a team of people, managers, agents, lawyers, who have to figure out for them how to do record deals and other sorts of commercial deals that are going to support their goals as creative people. And for patients and physicians, you know, alike, I don't know that there is really a similar intermediary. And I think that's embedded in your question.
