The Cure- A Very Personal Book

Some of you know me, and where some of my inspiration comes from. One source of inspiration is from my brother, John Crowley (Technically half brother, my mom married my father after John’s father passed away). Ever since I was a young kid, John has been an inspiration. My niece and nephew, Megan and Patrick, are sadly diagnosed with a fatal disease, Pompe’s Disease. Their third child, John Jr., is fine, and quite the personality. John, with a never say die attitude formed Novazyme Pharmaceuticals in order to save them. It’s a story that’s forever changed our family, and is what has inspired me to become who I am today. The story is chronicled in a book that was recently published, The Cure. If you’re an entrepreneur, a VC, a father, mother, or just someone looking for inspiration, give the book a try. I’ve also noticed a few of the regulars on my feed reader read the book over the break and gave it a great review- Brad Feld from Mobius Venture Capital and The Gotham Gal . Thank You, as the story means a ton to myself and more importantly my family. All in all, entrepreneurs have a much larger duty than to “exit and make some money to buy yachts”. We have a duty to improve society and the lives of those that are less fortunate. Maybe our companies will do good, or maybe the success God blesses us with will allow us to good. Good Night and God Bless.
