Day one of ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2018 opened to a dynamic keynote speaker. Entrepreneur Josh Linkner presented “Harnessing Innovation: Turning Raw Ideas Into Powerful Results.” His remarks prompted the ASA Daily News staff to ask the question:
How did Josh Linkner’s remarks inspire you?
“I was inspired by Josh’s suggestion to seek option X, the nonobvious choice. It’s not always the first choice that works. Think outside the box and don’t always take the first route. Explore beyond the obvious.”

“It was interesting to hear Josh say that to be innovative, you have to do something you’re not accustomed to or used to doing. You may have to feel a little uncomfortable to make change.”
Anatoly Hernandez, D.O.
Santa Cruz, California
“I thought Josh’s final point, fall seven times, rise eight, was inspirational. You have to keep trying. Persistence is the most important key to success.”

“The message of harnessing creativity and what professionals are doing in other industries was inspirational to me. We can apply those ideas in our own field.”
