Description
Minter Dialogue with Emmet O'Sullivan Emmet O'Sullivan is 17-years-old, lives in New York. Four years ago, he was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, an auto-immune disease about which so many people don't know or understand. Son of my friend, Margaret Molloy, Global CMO of Siegel+Gale, Emmet embarked on a new and life-changing journey. He was inspired to use this diagnosis for good and has written and published his first book, Drew (The Dinosaur), Discover the Disease. This illustrated book is designed to bring awareness to this illness and help others to deal with the challenges that come with having to check your sugars and inject Insulin multiple times every day. We talk about how he approached the writing of the book, including how he used AI (MidJourney) to do the illustrations. It's now out in Kindle and paperback. Emmet's an inspiration in the way that he has taken on board his illness and with his desire to educate and help spread awareness. It's a tremendous story.    If you've got comments or questions you'd like to see answered, send your email or audio file to [email protected]; or you can find the show notes and comment on minterdial.com.
