b'Ron Paul on raising awareness of kidney disease, and the need for more education and testing ~\\n\\n"The key is awareness. We have to find out who needs kidneys. There\'s thousands and thousands of people that need a kidney that don\'t even know that they need kidneys. . . No idea. Walking around. They\'re time bombs. We\'ve done a study, about 68% of the people that we\'ve had come to an event, they do blood work, they do urine analysis, they do a variety of things, but 68% of them leave knowing that they had something that they didn\'t know when they walked in the door, and it\'s not just kidney issues."\\n\\nRon Paul - Eagle Bancorp CEO and The GW/Ron and Joy Paul Kidney Center Chair in studio interview with Andy Ockershausen\\n\\nAndy Ockershausen:\\tThis is Andy Ockershausen, and this is Our Town. I have absolute so much delight to welcome a dear friend, a very, very important banker, but more than that, one of the great citizens of Our Town, Ron Paul. \\nRon has been an amazing man at what he has built in an empire in banking. He did it in real estate also, but then what he\'s done for the community is unbelievable. The number of places his impact is felt is continuing and he\'s been the Chair of the National Kidney Foundation, which is his labor of love I\'m sure, along with his wife. They have made it such a very important part of George Washington University. So welcome, Ron Paul, to Our Town. We\'re so delighted that you could do this and I\'m gonna ask you a lot of important questions. \\nEagle Bank - Building Relationships\\nRon Paul:\\tGood morning, Andy. Thank you.

That\'s just what\'s really cool, so it\'s really cool that we spend a lot of time talking to the millennials, explaining to them what they need to build relationships, and it\'s really evolved.\\nAndy Ockershausen:\\tAnd you\'ve done wonders with it.
