What do I want to achieve? To be aware the health industry is in big time trouble, and have recommendations to improve it? Cool.
Why? Our current system is designed for sick care, not health care and I’d like to help make the shift to the right.
What are my plans?
-
Feel Good Nation — I want to build a business empire called Feel Good Nation (FGN). FGN will be an Australian founded hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) franchise network going global. The end goal is to have a facility where kids can have an mHBOT session before school and adults after (or before) work — for roughly the cost of a coffee a day. Sounds wild, but this is how we build a healthy planet and we’ll make it a fair price for everybody to be involved. The revenue model is subscription-based.
-
Become credible in the health space — This is for many reasons. I could not care less about being famous for no reason, but there is enough mis-information, or lack of information in this world that needs to be called out. I want to be a trusted source of information so that we can help keep people well and give them access to the tools and interventions to better or maintain their health.
-
Create a HBOT course to educate on hyperbaric — The main aim for the course will be to get a university to adopt it; firstly I feel there should be a regulated course for operating a hyperbaric chamber — at the moment anyone in Australia can buy a chamber and start treating people with it! There should be a basic standard of education, and this is something I’ll be working hard to address over time.
-
Healthyup Company Create a publishing company that can be used for podcasts, documentaries, books, blogs that focus on helping people to live better, live longer lives. This stems from learning about hyperbaric and how much mis-information/poor information is out there that is clearly damaging us all. I honestly believe the best way to help is to have people start with good data and subsequently make informed decisions. HBOT is the foundation, but this will cover all health topics — our world is highly devoid of oxygen and we can make a real impact with better information. I’m not saying I know the right answer to health, but I know we are all being fed information that has not been critically analysed and too often has financial or political motivation behind it.
So what’s the TL;DR? It’s clear. Give everyone access to information and treatments they need. By having this information, with access to affordable and effective care we can create a massive shift from sick care to health care.
My vision will shape my thesis and this blog. This document is meant to be a living, breathing playbook so expect it to evolve.
Ideas
None of the results above can be reached in a silo and all information that I’ve come across that I believe will help get them there, along with ideas for new topics, working models, social enterprise etc will all go in here.
My overall philosophy with my plan is:
As a society we’re wired to think we do everything right. Getting a cold once a year — normal. Taking multiple pharma products per day for years — normal. But is it actually normal or can we do better? I think we can!
If we want to ask questions or suggest this isn’t normal, we fall foul of the naysayers. Let’s challenge the ‘normal’ perception of things. It’s the only way to make progress.
If experience tells me the best knowledge comes from entrepreneurs, not corporations, I will either be informed/influenced/inspired, or direct to the program. I plan on sharing ideas to content that has influenced me and I believe can help anyone improve themselves. I will reference where these ideas have originated — whether they are my own or I have been inspired by someone else. If something I read, watch, listen to resonates with me, I’ll share my interpretations and always reference the original material. That’s something I’ll be big on. Where are the ideas coming from, and are they my own or am I just sharing my views?
Why does my build/plan and theme look this way?
Because it is never in power with black type, until I noticed that every reading application whether it was a kindle, blog, notes on my phone, they’re all black font on white backgrounds, and that’s crazy. If you are a content creator or a designer, please consider making your content dark mode by default!
Health education and knowledge
This is my TL;DR. I want people who come along for the ride, stay for the information and leave as a better person. I want everyone to have access to healthier alternatives to the choices our supermarkets, governments and pharmacies push onto us.
Mission Statement
Whoever is reading: if you don’t feel you’re living your best physical life my mission is to give you the knowledge to live better. The intent is to educate, not to give unsolicited advice. Awareness is key!
