I grew up on a farm in Central Texas and the two lessons I learned on the farm during my childhood and high school years were: 1) work hard and 2) take pride in your work. One of my jobs was to spend countless hours walking up and down rows in our fields pulling weeds to make sure that they were as "clean" as possible.
There is a sense of pride and satisfaction looking at a field with no weeds – knowing all of the hours that went into getting the field to that point – and also knowing that yield on that crop will be incrementally better from that work.
My day job has certainly changed from working on the farm but I still feel that same deep sense of fulfillment in leaving things better than we found them. That is our goal for our portfolio companies and the healthcare system: Seeing a company start with a determined CEO and a few employees, customers, and millions of dollars of revenue grow into a national presence led by a world-class team and impacting millions of patients’ lives and customers.
