Media driven platform For health and wellness - money from jack Ma and Jeff Bezos w connections into Amazon and Alibaba She wants to talk to me Monday and I will be in NYC Might be another path to surgeon general in the sense of being the consumer facing health and wellness guru - like a more evolved dr oz or Oprah but linked to products Interesting concept 11:39:12 pm EFTA01612930 She's got reputation and money and the whole thing dedicated to health and wellness / being on her leadership team and the head doc is cool - jack says I could do Alibaba pop up shops on anything health wellness and sell a zillion products of whatever kind and also as a doc present the evidence.
