Personal: About to celebrate 18 years of marriage. It's hard to believe how quickly time has flown by. I feel very grateful for my family. My kids are healthy, smart, curious and DEFINITELY challenging, but I wouldn't change them. My wife and I look forward to a fun weekend together, celebrating.

I have decided to take up tennis again. I need the exercise and it makes me happier than just about any other sport/activity.

I miss my friends and family in Ann Arbor. This is a great time of year to be there. I will head back for thanksgiving.

Professional:Back in 2018 Forever Labs filed a patent to concentrate exosomes at point of care and add them to PRP. The analogy goes, if stem cells are the building blocks of the body, then exosomes are the blueprints. They largely mediate the healing process. But these exosomes are so small that table top centrifuges which are used at point of care are unable to concentrate them. Our patent changes this. Over the past 2 years we have been commercializing this patent. We call it, "SuperShotPRP™"

We have been running some studies and gathering data in clinics. Turns out that SuperShot allows patients to heal faster and have lower pain scores in ortho applications. Additionally, we ran a study with the National Hairloss Medical Academy and every participant that received SuperShot had positive/visible results with just one treatment. The results are phenomenal.

The ortho side of this is completely in-line with the same clinics we use to gather bone marrow for Forever Labs, but the hair stuff is a new vertical. Derm clinics and to a lesser extent plastic surgeons will be the target.

We have distribution lined up for ortho and aesthetics. We need to raise money now. Which normally would be fine, even exciting because it's such a strong product and such a large TAM. But, as is customary at Forever Labs, every time we raise money there seems to be a national disaster. Last time we raised in March of 2019. I don't need to remind you what happened then. Now, we are in the midst of a recession that may likely become a global depression. I'm concerned the road to funding will be long and tedious, even for such a strong product.

Take good care everyone! Strange days abound.
