Speaker 3: What you say.

63
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: I'm saying that you know in the healthcare business, you

64
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 2: know you you you know, you know about hospitals, you

65
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: know about doctors, those nurses, orderlies and.

66
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: All that stuff. That's the part of.

67
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: The the healthcare business that we all know about. Okay,

68
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,839
Speaker 2: now I'm hearing a nurse talking from an entrepreneurial perspective.

69
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: I've never heard of that process, you.

70
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: Know, I know that. Talk to us about how did

71
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: you get involved? What inspired you to get into the industry.

72
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 3: Well, when I was five, I decided to become a

73
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: nurse after watching how they cared for my grandmothers who

74
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 3: both passed away from cancer, and I saw how they

75
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 3: took care of them. So that was really when I

76
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 3: decided to become a nurse. But after working in the

77
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 3: healthcare industry for a number of years. I saw a

78
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 3: lot of things that I didn't like and how things

79
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 3: were being run right, So I started working for agencies

80
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 3: and one of the agencies that I worked for was

81
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 3: a registry and basically what we did was since caregivers

82
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 3: out into the homes. And I liked it, you know,

83
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 3: I you know, because at that point you kind of

84
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 3: make the rules. You know, you set the standards. You know,

85
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 3: you choose the workers, you know, you make the rules,

86
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: you set the times. You know, you get to cater

87
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 3: to the clients. And I kind of liked the structure

88
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: of that. And because I worked in geriatrics for so long,

89
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 3: in the nursing facilities and I saw, you know, how

90
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 3: administration was, you know, handling things. I saw how the

91
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 3: caregivers abuse the clients and they were trying. Yes, I

92
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 3: saw a lot of abuse. I was reporting the abuse.

93
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 3: Nothing was being done about it because you know, they're

94
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 3: working short so they don't want to lose their workers,

95
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 3: so they're continuing to let these caregivers work on the floor.

96
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 3: So that's when I decided that I was going to

97
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: start my.

98
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: Own business further because I want to really get a

99
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 2: clear understand because because my mom who's now passed, you know,

100
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: we had somebody a home care for her. You know,

101
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: it's hard getting somebody that was in Houston, Texas. Hard

102
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 2: getting somebody that you trust or you know, because you

103
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 2: know you're leaving basically a stranger at your at your

104
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 2: at an elderly person's multi vulnerable state. You know, she

105
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: had to be helped to shout, she had to be

106
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 2: helped to the restroom, you know. And and so how

107
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 2: does one because I'm sure somebody else who's listening to

108
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 2: this this show is in similar situation I was or

109
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: in currently, how does one vet a quality home care

110
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: person on an agency is?

111
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 3: It's really, honestly, it's experienced. Once you do the interviews,

112
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,119
Speaker 3: the multiple interviews, once you do the background checks, once

113
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 3: you do the personality test, once you do the drug screens.

114
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 3: It's really listening to your gut once you cause you

115
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 3: still have to check references. But one of the things

116
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 3: that I encouraged the families to do was to get

117
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 3: nanny cams. We actually with my agency, we partnered with

118
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 3: a company sold nanny cams. So we always encourage the

119
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 3: families to do that and we let the workers know, hey,

120
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 3: these families, they're going to be using nanny cams. So

121
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 3: when you go there, you know, you don't be on

122
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 3: your phones, you know, don't be on social media. Do

123
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 3: what you're supposed to do. But the other thing is

124
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 3: you have to make sure that you get experienced workers.

125
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 3: A lot of and I hate to say this, but

126
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 3: it's true, a lot of the younger people they just

127
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: didn't work out because they don't have anything in common,

128
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 3: you know, with a geriatric patient. So when you're sending

129
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 3: people to the homes, you really want to make sure

130
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 3: that you're matching them. And one of the things that

131
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 3: we did at my agency was we would choose three

132
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 3: different workers and to take the workers to the homes

133
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 3: at separate times, and also let the family members be

134
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 3: a part of the interview process because at that point,

135
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 3: it's like they're choosing the worker as well. So you

136
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 3: want to you know, involve the family members and give

137
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 3: them a say so.

138
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's really interesting when I hear this,

139
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 2: because you know, we have to you slow it down.

140
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: You know, this is a business. Let's remember this.

141
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: You know a lot of.

142
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: People making a lot of money in this business. People

143
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: are getting paid salaries, you know, in these business staffing

144
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: agencies that that that that UH employ people to fill

145
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,679
Speaker 2: these positions that out there. And that's a fear factor

146
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: when I say that, in the fact that, like you said,

147
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: screen and you can screen you, you know, because the

148
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: thing that really blows me away.

149
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: Is that is it more older it's people? Is it

150
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: more older people now than it is when I was

151
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: a kid? Of what is going on here?

152
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 4: Because it.

153
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: Seems like it's like it seems like it's just an outbreak.

154
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: I'm just community exploded. What's going on here?

155
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 3: People are living longer. You know, back then people live

156
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 3: to what maybe seventy eighty.

157
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: These people are a.

158
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 3: Hundred years old.

159
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: True that you used to be like, oh yeah, just

160
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: the big thing can now now go down the streets?

161
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: Ye hundred two hundred two.

162
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 3: No, Seriously, I have taken care of cling who are

163
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 3: over one hundred years old. They are living longer, and

164
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 3: not only that, they are bank rusting the long term

165
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 3: care insurance kind of be These companies are going under

166
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 3: because they only expected them to live to sixty seventy

167
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 3: and a half to seventy years. Now these people are living,

168
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 3: you know, thirty years longer. And that's how they're paying

169
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 3: for this this care. So yeah, that people are just

170
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 3: living longer.

171
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: I just wanted to say that then I wasn't trying

Speaker 2: to be funny, you know, Shine, It's just funny anyway.

173
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: But I'm going like, Okay, Now, when I was a kid,

174
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: you know, Grandma and Grandpaul, you know, they went on

175
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: by their business. You know today, Oh yeah, Grandma about

Speaker 3: So it is even day is it is it diet?

00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: Is it is a diet? What is what is?

180
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 3: What is?

181
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: Cause of day?

182
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 3: It is? It's diet, it's exercise. You can go out

183
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 3: to the track at any given day and find a

184
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 3: ninety year old woman walking five miles and you're trying

185
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 3: to keep Oh my god. You know, I'm telling you

186
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 3: they are. They're taking better care of themselves. But you

187
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 3: had to understand that the healthcare system, you know, it's

188
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 3: a lot better than it it was back then. There

189
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 3: are a lot of things that we know now that

190
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 3: doctors know now that they didn't know back then. The

191
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 3: nurses know now that they didn't know back then. So

192
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 3: so the healthcare system has evolved, right right right. You know,

193
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 3: they had medications for things that they didn't have back

194
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 3: when our grandparents, you know.

195
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,719
Speaker 2: Was probably now I know that I know that you had,

196
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: you know, I know shifting gears because I'm a cancer survivor,

197
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 2: you know, and I remember when I was announced fifteen.

198
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 2: I not always to people, you know, I'm all I

199
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 2: always got to get checked up every year, every six

200
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: months because you know, cancer is that great. You don't

201
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 2: want him knocking on your door, you know, surprise you. Okay,

202
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 2: so you want to make sure that there's an issue.

203
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 2: And I know you you suffered the loss in your

204
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 2: family due to cancer. How did you How did you

205
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 2: deal with that? And it was your husband?

206
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 3: Correct, yes, it was it was my husband. Grieving wise,

207
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 3: I'm still dealing with it because he just passed away

208
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 3: last year. Right now, as a healthcare professional, it's kind

209
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 3: of hard because as nurses, we know too much, you know,

210
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 3: sometimes you can know too much. And the type of

211
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 3: cancer he had was a brain cancer called gulio blastoma.

212
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 3: And there really are no tail tale signs for glio.

213
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 3: Most of the time. By the time they find it,

214
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 3: it's because that person has a seizure. You know, There's

215
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 3: not a lot that leads up to it. And that's

216
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 3: basically what happened to him. He had a seizure. You know,

217
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 3: I took him to the hospital. They couldn't find anything,

218
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 3: you know, brought him home. He had another seizure, took

219
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 3: him to a different hospital. You know, they had to

220
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 3: do the catskins the MRI and that's how they found it.

221
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 3: And when they did the biopsy, you know, it came

222
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 3: back and it was level four, which is like the

223
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 3: last state. So he you know, they were giving him

224
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 3: a matter of months because glio blastema is the most

225
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 3: aggressive cancer there is. Is so aggressive and even if

226
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 3: they had caught it earlier and he would have been

227
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 3: a candidate for surgery, it still grows back. It's just

228
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 3: that aggressive and he comes back with a vengeance. But

229
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 3: he actually I kept him at home in chear for

230
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 3: him and he actually lived two years in a month.

231
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: Congratulations.

232
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 3: You know. When we found that out, I'm like, oh

233
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 3: my goodness, you know, because yeah, they were only giving

234
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 3: him a matter of months. Wow, And the doctor said,

235
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 3: you know, maybe a year, but they weren't anticipating, you know,

236
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 3: him living that long. But listen, we have some major

237
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 3: prayer warriors. And I was on my knee because I'm

238
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 3: like you know, you.

239
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,440

Speaker 2: a huge difference in this community by supporting many organizations.

261
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 5: There's so many people who have helped me get to

262
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 5: where I am today. That is paying it forward and

263
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 5: just trying to teach and educate, especially the youth. Not

264
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 5: only my own kids especially them, but everyone just trying

265
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 5: to teach them because I'm still learning. Because what happens

266
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,079
Speaker 5: also is a lot of times people see you on

267
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,320

268
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 5: think that's all you know. They think all you know

00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,280

Speaker 5: not the case, not only myself, but a lot of

271
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 5: intelligent athletes out there, and I think that's why we

272
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 5: have to continue to learn. It's funny sometimes when you

273
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 5: do get in the business world and people shake your hand,

274
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,199

289
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 2: When we ended our call the first half, Wood went

290
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 2: to break. He was telling us about your foundation that

291
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 2: was created because of the passing of your husband, the

292
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 2: Anthony Lewis Foundation for Brain Tumors Incorporated. Tell us about

293
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,239
Speaker 2: that and if any way that one could make donations

294
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 2: to the nonprofit?

295
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 3: Sure sure so yeah. So, after Tony passed away last year,

296
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 3: I actually decided to help other individuals who were suffering

297
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 3: with the same disease process because one of the things

298
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 3: that I learned in going through it is that it

299
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 3: was very expensive, very expensive.

300
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 5: And there was a.

301
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 3: Time when there was a gas and insurance and his

302
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 3: job dropped and so we had to go over to Cobra.

303
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 3: But during that time we still had to do the treatment,

304
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 3: and it was anywhere from twenty thousand to thirty thousand

305
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 3: dollars every two weeks that we had to pay out

306
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 3: of pocket. So I asked the nurse, I'm like, hey,

307
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 3: you know, if people can't afford this, you know, what

308
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 3: do they do? And she said they die? That was

309
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 3: the answer, you know that she gave to me. So

310
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 3: it was in that moment that I decided I was

311
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 3: gonna set up a foundation, you know, for individuals to

312
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 3: help with the copains and the medications, the caregivers, the

313
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 3: transportation because when you go to the hospitals for the treatment,

314
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 3: it's an all day thing. You're you're literally there six

315
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 3: to eight hours. You have to pay the park, you

316
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 3: have to eat, and it can get really expensive and

317
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 3: a lot of people you know, aren't prepared for it.

318
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 5: Wow.

319
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 3: And the foundation will help them with some of those

320
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 3: costs that it will also educate them about the disease

321
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 3: process as well as connect them with other community resources.

322
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: Now, this is the Anthony Lewis Foundation for Brain Tumors.

323
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:52,400

326
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 2: Awesome, thank you for sharing us the information. Thank you

327
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 2: for sharing your story, because these are the stories that

328
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 2: empower people to let them know they're not alone, because

329
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 2: sometimes that's what defeats people, you know, that they feel

330
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 2: their story. Who could they tell their story to? Who

331
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 2: could they turn to? Who can they cry with? You know,

332
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: cry with you know this this guiltiness of this pain

333
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 2: and suffering.

334
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 6: You know.

335
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 2: But again, the reason I primarily brought you on the

336
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: show was about your your consulting business, Ideal Healthcare. Please

337
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 2: tell us about their Ideal Healthcare and how can you

338
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 2: help people pursue entrepreneurship under your umbrella.

339
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 3: So with with Ideal Healthcare, Uh, basically what we do

340
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 3: is business startups. So we help new businesses decide you know, structure,

341
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 3: We help them set up their businesses. But we have

342
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 3: a focus on home care businesses since that was my

343
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 3: expertise for about ten years. So if they reach out

344
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 3: to us, basically what we do is we assign them,

345
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 3: you know, to one of our representatives and they find

346
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 3: out what it is that they need. But we also

347
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 3: have a network of friends because I've had other people

348
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 3: reach out to me because I think they get home care,

349
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 3: which is personal care services, and home health which is

350
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 3: more like a skilled service like a physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech.

351
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 3: You know, I think people kind of get those mixed up,

352
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 3: so we do have a referral source to where we

353
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 3: can refer people out as well. But because I have

354
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 3: so many nurses coming to me to start businesses that

355
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 3: I didn't have the expertise in that, the Nurse Boss

356
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,719
Speaker 3: Summit was kind of born. And actually I have an

357
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 3: event coming up this weekend in Greensboro, North Carolina. It's

358
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 3: called the Nurse Boss Summit, and it's going to be

359
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 3: about three hundred nurse entrepreneurs at this summit and we

360
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 3: have breakouts, keynotes, panel discussions, and the breakouts are set

361
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 3: up with nurses who are entrepreneurs and they're teaching people

362
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 3: how to start businesses in the industries that they're in,

363
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 3: such as home care, home health, CNA, schools, finances, whatever

364
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 3: industry you know.

365
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 5: That they focus in.

366
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 3: That's what they'll be talking about in their breakout.

367
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 2: Session, so they can go there and learn where they

368
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 2: want to take their talents right exactly.

369
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 3: But there are also some leadership breakouts because not all

370
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 3: nurses want to be entrepreneurs, but they still want the

371
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 3: leadership skills. So we do have leadership breakouts for you know,

372
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 3: staff nurses as well, and we are giving contact hours

373
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 3: the CEUs and we're doing thirty four CEUs so the

374
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 3: nurses can come to this two day event and get

375
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 3: all of their contact hours for two years. So that's

376
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 3: more about that for two years.

377
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: Wow, that's awesome.

378
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: Yeah to me ask you this question because I've heard

379
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 2: about teachers union all the type of is there a

380
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 2: nurses union?

381
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 3: There are lots of nurses association.

382
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 1: Right, but there's no like, no no union.

383
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 3: There is a union that's being formed right right.

384
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 2: Right, right right right, because because when I hear that

385
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 2: Boss Summer, you know, it feels like there's there's a

386
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 2: place where where nurses male and female can come there

387
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 2: to become educated, the bond, to talk and convent, to

388
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 2: share recommendations or referrals. Because that's what this is all about.

389
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 2: When the nurse boughts and you say this in Greenville,

390
