3 – Q) What inspired you to (start a new business venture) or (to make significant changes in an existing business)? How did the idea for your business come about?
A) I have always had an entrepreneurial mindset. Ever since I wanted to be a doctor, I also thought i’d be a business owner, or a partner in a business. Prior to starting Kore, I worked in a very similar medical practice. I love practicing this type of medicine, so I opened Kore in a similar style to the medical practices that I had worked at in the past. I combined many styles and things that I believed to be working with patient care and running a business in the past, and made it into Kore.

11 – Q) Where you see yourself and your business in 5 – 10 years?
A) My business will continue to grow. It will become a place where people gather to find high quality holistic medical care, and where true healing can happen. People will come from all over the world and spend 1-2 weeks in their healing journey, allowing the doctors to get to know their patients better, and allowing patients to escape some of the stressors of their life to focus on their own personal growth. There is extreme value in the doctor-patient relationship that is completely taken away and destroyed in our current medical system. Insurance companies force doctors to spend minimal time with their patients and force them to only address “one issue” per visit. This isn’t good for patients or for doctors, and doesn’t allow for true healing to take place.
12 – Q) Excluding yours, what company or business do you admire the most?
A) I tend to admire businesses that start from ground, up. That work hard to achieve success and that do something slightly against the norm.
