The power of human connection is present in Kacie and Solome’s working relationship.
They can be real with each other and grow from the experience - realizing that authenticity and transparency triumphs - the ability to call each other out and disagree without losing sight of the bigger mission.
It’s in this light that Michael points out that “If you can’t keep it real, you can’t keep it at all.”
Failure is not something to be feared, especially in the world of innovation.
Solome recounts her adventures in founding a CBT technology startup in college - raising seed funds and bringing an app to market, later to realize it didn’t land with her intended audience.
But it’s through this failure that Solome can draw on a deep well of experience. The same is true for Kacie in her life and for all of us.
Both Solome and Kacie envision a future where access to Behavioral Health Data is more accessible and seek to break down the barriers that have been created between the mental health world and the general medicine world because many conditions can be treated by generalists.
By making records more transparent and accessible, better solutions can be created through technology that makes treatment available to a larger population.
