Date: 2026-07-30 5:00 PM EDT Attendees: Michael Houck (Rye Valley), Maurice (DocTours, maurice@doctours.com)
Summary
Offboarding call with Maurice (DocTours). DocTours is bringing content in-house: they want a full-time embedded person in the office making content exclusively for them. Contract winds down end of August with a small final charge due. Michael pitched remaining Rye Valley services Maurice is open to: short-form video (Jolt), newsletter (if they launch one), and a launch video targeting October or just after the holidays.
Michael also offered a PR contact intro - someone connected across Hollywood, founders, VCs, US, Europe, and Middle East. DocTours gets no press mentions despite active medical tourism coverage; Maurice was receptive.
Medical tourism is a visual, emerging market with a strong “face of it” opportunity. Jolt is a good fit.
Attendees Context
- Maurice is based in SF, was visiting New York at time of call.
- DocTours co-founder CEO is the intended “face” of content.
Decisions Made
- No new decisions. Offboarding path already set; exploring optional upsells.
