Yes understood which is why we need a grass roots campaign to try and interest (enlighten) a celebrity to try and hopefully advocate.
Serious question (as in I don't know the answer); do any celebs advocate for a drug without being paid? I am sure there must be some, but I cannot think of any right now. Have we ever had such a life changing drug as afrezza in the last 50 years?
Celebs advocate for all kinds of causes and even hold concerts and benefits to raise money for their causes. Get Oprah advocating afrezza for the kids or Project Power and afrezza is home free.

We need ONE! There has to be a bunch of Celebs with BG control issues using broken standard of care. The whole Dame Dash thing fizzled out so how about the following?
Tom Hanks Brett Micheals ETC.
I'm sure this is a well beaten path but has anyone hit up these folks Twitter with Afrezza notes?
Just frustrated that we don't have one by now... venting Celebs cost money which is why we got Dame Dash  There are also the restrictions on what they can say if they are being paid by Mannkind. Wasn't Dame Dash supposed to be creating an Afrezza album? Didn't he get an advance to write the Afrezza rap? |

I assume products celebs do or might promote are affected by conditions in existing contracts they might have, or hope to have.
Signing a contract to promote any drug of one company may include a condition that you never promote a drug for any other company. And if you sign to promote one company's drug, perhaps you are then effectively dead to companies with competing drugs.
Major celebs (i.e. above the level of Dame Dash) may not be willing to promote a smaller company's product for a relatively small paycheck if it means they are cutting themselves off from more lucrative future endorsement opportunities elsewhere.

To get major celebrities on-board and on Afrezza, perhaps Mannkind should target the private practice Hollywood doctors to the stars? www.medicalbag.com/practice-prognosis/doctors-to-the-stars/article/472907/"Doctors Building Celeb-Centric Practices - A quick search for celebrity doctors reveals many practices, particularly in Hollywood, that are designed with celebrity patients in mind. These offices offer concierge services, including 24/7 house calls, the ability to jet set to clients in a pinch, and room service–style prescription drug delivery. Whereas these doctors do not have any special licensure or degree in dealing with celebrities, their medical practices are tailored to those living in the celebrity world." |
