People came to her and asked how did she get it, was it contagoius? Susie had nothing to compare it with and assumed in a year she would also be dead.

Hear how two friends who'd worked together in the home improvement industry (Scott Seneff and Travis Bryant) started imagining ways to improve their own lives by opening their own business. With lots of ideas bantered back and forth over a cigar and some whiskey. Until the happenstance sight of a Pedego Electric Bike store in Florida (while one of them was on vacation there) quickly set the gears in motion for this dynamic duo to open a similar store in their hometown of Columbus, Ohio this past April.  A fast start for this fast moving pair that quickly placed them as one of the the top ten Pedego dealers in the country (all before they'd even hired their first employee!)

Two more entrepreneurs who saw an opening and quickly shifted gears to pursue it. Suddenly finding themselves "off to the races" and riding at the front of the pack in today's quickly evolving eBike Revolution. On this week's PEDEGO PODCAST.

In this day and age where education and learning mean sitting in front of your computer screen and listening to your professor discuss can be very detrimental in the long run because of the lack of practical learning. This is exceptionally unacceptable in the field of medicine, where interactive learning should always be the aim of every educator.This is where Virtual Reality Training comes into play., In a sense, this can be the next step in the path of education we are striving for. Although not the same as experiencing the training or operation yourself, virtual reality can give us a sense of what to expect in various scenarios in the operating room.Platforms of learning like these can also be used to bring about equity in terms of education and healthcare. This means everyone can have access to these materials, bringing down barriers and boundaries so that everyone can enjoy the same privileges.    Memorable Quotes:“There are great lessons to be learned in reviewing past performances of your own and the other people around you.” – Paul Roberts “We found that clinical immersion, meaning being able to just be a fly on the wall and stand in medical procedure really is helpful for students to learn, especially biomedical engineers and medical students, what is going on, what to expect and how can we innovate and help the people, the physicians that we're going to be working for or working with” – Christine KingThe mission of obtaining health equity is so important. It means everyone has access, not just the privileged, not just the ones with big bank accounts, but the inner cities, the communities, the minority, or the general population everyone has access to quality health, to quality education. – Dr. TrinhThey should be able to see what doctors do.

Quotes:
“So, if you’re an owner, that’s fantastic and you can sit in the owner’s box and you can have your own meetings and talk about owner’s things, but make no mistake, when you are in the business and you are wearing that hat and sitting in that seat, that you’re not the owner, you’re an employee, and that is completely separate and distinct from the other.” - John Nachezel, (4:50)
 
“...the only way you will grow is chaotically and then you hit a ceiling. You’ll hit a cap, you’ll burn out…because the chaos can only take you so far. And it’s ‘I don't have time to incorporate the principles that EOS teaches,’ but that’s the way you get time is by incorporating those principles.” - John Nachazel, (22:55)
 
“...it’s actually a very freeing thing. It’s not a stifling thing to have structure, and that structure and discipline is what allows you to unlock your creativity and allows you to be on offense delivering punches to the opposition…it frees you to be your best” - John Nachazel, (23:48)
