Tweetable Quotes

“There’s two things that make us [Passport Journeys] different. Number one is the niche market of mother-daughter. There’s not an app that is targeted to relationships so we’re really going on a laser-focused approach on the relationship. And then the second piece is we’ll be the first teletherapy app to actually prescribe activities.”(03:44) (Lacey)

“I was working as Director of IT at the time and my team had to take clinicians who had been working for decades in front of their patients, and really work through providing therapy and management. And, when we had to shift [because of the pandemic], we had ten days to bring the hospital up to do teletherapy. And when I watched it and watched how difficult it was for the clinicians, but then once everyone started going, how convenient it was.” (07:48) (Lacey)

“The beautiful part is that we were able to forgive. We were able to say, ‘It doesn’t matter what decisions or what happened. You’re dying. I love you, and I’m caring for you. And I forgive you. ’I’m proud of that.”(15:36) (Lacey)

“Everything is tailored to the mother-daughter relationship for the business. So I see us nailing that over the next five years. We really get it down to a ‘T,’ and then expand.”(20:09) (Lacey)
