Sixth Edition Marquis Who’s Who INSIGHT 21 GARRY W. GIBBS Owner, Real Estate Broker Advanta Realty Group La Quinta, CA http://tinyurl.com/3pkkpfz7 How have you navigated disruptions in your industry to remain a top professional? In general, I try to anticipate what I see going on and where it might lead in the future, as well as make judgments on how I want either to avoid them as an issue or deal with them as a challenge. I'm generally an optimistic person. It's just my nature, I guess – I don't view things as problems. I view them, to the extent that I can, as opportunities. It relates back to something I heard many years ago about how the Oriental perspective views things not as dangers but as opportunities, like a starting point. MICHAEL J. EYRE Attorney, Owner Law Offices of Michael J. Eyre Long Beach, CA www.eyrelaw.com/ How have you navigated disruptions in your industry to remain a top professional? It’s just a matter of going out and looking for the work. I avoid disruptions by digging in and working hard. What innovations or technologies do you feel will shape the future of your industry? As a new attorney, having a fax machine was cutting edge, but now it’s obsolete. I had a computer in law school — I was probably one of the few to have one, since I built my own computer. We just have to adapt to the changes. I don’t think about them as they are happening, I just have to respond as they come. What excites you the most about your industry? Since I am dealing with different issues, I can always learn something new. DONALD RAY GORE, MD Clinical Professor of Orthopedic Surgery Medical College of Wisconsin Milwaukee, WI How have you navigated disruptions in your industry to remain a top professional? I paid attention to what was important, which was taking care of patients. How do you feel your industry has changed/evolved? It has become a big business and is no longer patient care oriented. Physicians have become employees for big organizations. What innovations or technologies do you feel will shape the future of your industry? Vaccines and public health measures are probably the most important things that should be distributed to physicians so they can understand how to react to problems like COVID-19. There have also been many technical advances in orthopedic surgery, such as better diagnostic tools, that weren’t available when I began.
