How We Got Here
We are in the middle of the Strategic Investment Conference, a fabulous gathering of some of the best economic, political, and geopolitical minds anywhere. I’m really proud of what we’re doing. And at the last minute, we’ve added Dr. Mehmet Oz, nationally regarded cardiovascular surgeon, author of numerous best-selling books with my friend Dr. Mike Roizen, and now head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. He will be joined by Dr. Robert Redfield, former CDC director, virologist,...
