Part one in a three part series about my trip to Chicago for HealtheVoices 2018

A few months ago, I saw an Instagram post from my fellow Uniballer, Kyle Smith of Check 15, that mentioned that he was on the Advisory Board of HealtheVoices18. He also shared an application link and urged people to apply. I filmed my video application and was about to hit submit when I realized I had made a vital mistake.
I repeatedly referred to the conference as "Heal the Voices” while it's actually pronounced "Health eVoices." I should have realized that it's a conference for online health advocates, so eVoices makes sense. Fifty-three takes later, my final draft was submitted. Despite this hiccup, I was accepted, and arrangements were made for traveling to Chicago in late April 2018 for the three-day conference.
