Had a really interesting day today.

Have settled nicely into the VLCD regime and feel I could persist with it as required. Caffeine delivered by green tea has added a pleasant boost.

I had a terrific meeting with Fiona Turnball and David Pieris at the George Institute.

I also met with the producer of an eHealth event in Melbourne who has asked me to speak (interestingly, George Margelis, the MC of the session, didn’t think to contact me, so am grateful that Steve Leeder did).

Bought Floppy’s 30th birthday opal from the least likely of vendors and prepped for the Hong Kong trip.

Among all that, I had a typically entertaining chat with Mark Hayman. Among the many pearls, one stuck out:

“I’ve reached a time in my life where I no longer want to be pissed off by what others say and do, and instead be happy to piss others off with what I say and do”

I also managed to crystallize what I want to dedicate the remainder of my professional life to. In essence, I want to develop a health creating, outcome remunerated, scalable, for-profit business dedicated to the effective, efficient population health optimization utilizing all the insights of behavioural economics, epigenetics, ubiquitous sensors, real time, predictive analytics and the social determinants of health.
