“SMALL IS THE NEW BIG.” – SETH GODIN
I’m working as hard to keep Medvale small …as hard as most are working to grow their companies. Medvale is named and designed to feel like a sweet little town; modeled after Wendell, Idaho where I grew up–population 1232. Our Medvale clubs are limited to ten tightly cohorted members to keep them intimate. You can’t apply to become a Medvalista. You have to be invited. Medvale Radio produces intellectual podcasts MONTHLY—not daily. Our newspaper, Medvale News, can be read in a minute. Excellence trumps size, volume, and noise. That discipline takes more effort than mindless growth. Medvale — where everyone knows your name, because we’d rather be special than big.
ALONE TOGETHER
THE NEED TO CONNECT Physically distanced, I am now better appreciating my need to connect. This recent unsatisfied need is changing my life—for the better. (Hats off to Maslow for the ah-ha that it is the unsatisfied need, not the satisfied one, that motivates behavior.) This mean-hearted virus is denying us our previously undervalued lunches, coffees, travel, and gatherings. In response, we are creating efficient and sustainable workarounds with the help of technology, e.g., virtual cocktails with friends. Mandated separations are driving the demand and democratization of high-fidelity connectivity. This crisis will not have been wasted. LIBERATION FROM LOCATION I am now even questioning my previous bias that relationships can only be maintained—not created—digitally. I think I am now actually making friendships over the internet. And they aren’t limited to those who live close to me. How liberating. I find myself enjoying the comfort, ease, and the more frequent hobnobbing with Medvale and my other communities. Better yet, they do not know how I look from the chest down. The benefits of virtual connections could not have been realized during normal times when our needs to connect were satisfied. We have discovered that we can indeed be together while we are having to be alone.
THE TELEHEALTH GENIE HAS LEFT THE BOTTLE
TREATING THE NEW PROSUMER It took a pandemic to release this untapped innovation. And there’s no going back. Patients aren’t going to miss the pre-COVID norm of waiting rooms, appointment queuing and travel. Our new prosumers (proactive consumers) during this contagion developed a taste for convenience that they hadn’t thought about before. Doctors will finally get paid for what they’ve for some time been thinking was a solution. Zooming versus rooming patients will be an efficient alternative. As a result of emergency waivers, patients now have a geographically wider choice of providers, even across state borders. What a concept! INNOVATION IN CRISIS This inflection/tipping point now seem obvious at this present intersection in time of telepresence technology, the ubiquity of mobile devices and and the exigency of a mean-hearted virus gone viral. Alas, we now have yet another social determinant of health to deal with—internet bandwidth. The digital divide between the have’s and the have-not’s just got wider, especially in rural areas. We’ll figure it out because the stakes are high. This coronavirus crisis has not been wasted as it gave us proof of concept for this needed technology-enabled care. This genie is not going back in the bottle.
