Corrine McIsaac, 51 — President and Founder of Health Outcomes Worldwide, which  offers consultation services, data analytics and a software application for healthcare professionals (Corrine is a nurse by training). Greatest reward:  “We’re helping people get better every day. And that keeps you going every day.”
