He also discovered an extraordinary variety of other players across healthcare--professional associations, pharmaceutical companies, device manufacturers, health plans, physician groups, and numerous hospitals.

He went deeper, into the study of chaos theory, Eastern thought, and martial arts, eventually earning a black belt in Ueshiba Aikido.
