??What Innovators Are You Thankful For ????? #LICreatorAccelerator

Gratitude to the Dreamers

Moving to a new city, making new social and collegiate ties, and seeking and adopting innovation are never easy. So much go into goal setting, envisioning change, and just dreaming beyond what is currently being realized. I am profoundly grateful for the past technological dreamers and innovators who shaped a path forward for people like myself and others, such as those highlighted in the Keep Health Innovation and Tech Peachy series to do what they do in Atlanta.

Thank you Edward Lai, MPH , Harold Solomon , Angelita Howard, EdD, MBA , John Flavin , Betty Lou A. , Maria Thacker Goethe , David Hartnett , Sherrell Dorsey , Samir Chaudry , Colin Rosenblum , Kelly-Jo Potts , Emma Welch , Jessica Oliveira , Jame' Jackson , Marissa Hines Thompson , Rodrigo Brancatelli , Haley Deming , Jonathan Ellison , Andy Li and many more for the encouragement, advice, and support in the first season of Keep Health Innovation and Tech Peachy series. I am very grateful to you all!

I say this often – our mental health matters, and expressing gratitude is a significant part of that. Positive psychology research has taught us that gratitude is consistently and strongly associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps us build strong relationships like this beautiful online LinkedIn community. I am thankful for being part of your network and on your active reading list.
