My entrepreneur journey started when I was in Nursing School. I was in my last semester, $30,000 in debt, and was rotating through the ER where I was precepting. One of the cosmetic surgeons came into the ER to do a consult, he was in a terrible mood because a patient left him a terrible review that was really hurting his private practice. I told him that I might be able to remove it for him, he jokingly said he'd pay off my student loans if I did. I told him how much in Student Loans I had, and he said he'd probably lost more than that already in the week that the review had been up since it lost him 7-8 new consultations. The next day I called his office and asked him if he was serious about his offer he made in the ER - he said he was. I spend the net 72 in research mode, flagging and disputing the bad review like crazy. I couldn't get it off, the review administrators were adamant and I was really discouraged. I ended up flying to San Francisco during the weekend and was cruising local coffee shops next to the HeadQuarters of this review website to see if I could meet someone who might be able to help me. I ended up meeting a senior-level executive who formerly worked in the review removal department who gave me the lowdown. They provided detailed instructions on what to do and say in order to get the review removed. With this advice, I flew back home and got to work. Within 48 hours I had the review removed, within another 48 hours I had a check for $30,000. That was the day I realized I could solve a problem for thousands of business owners and really make an impact in their life. That particular doctor was on the board of directors for the entire physician network, so within a week I had 500+ clients, a CPA, and my own growing business. That was 8 years ago. I went back to school to build a software company to fulfill my services, then I went back to school again to learn AI/ML at MIT to build technology to identify fake reviews for the government. Looking forward to chatting!
