Let's be real: branded content usually doesn't go viral—especially when it's obviously an ad. But LeBron James just flipped the script.   In this episode, David Brickley breaks down how Royal Kingdom nailed a rare branded moment that fans actually loved—and why even the NBA's 90M-follower collab couldn't compete.  

Welcome to HALO Talks! In this episode, host Pete Moore sits down with Tom Morrissey, founder of Solo Health Collective and a seasoned veteran in the health insurance world, to unpack the complex—and often misunderstood—landscape of healthcare for self-employed professionals. With a career spanning decades at Cigna and deep experience serving everyone from major corporations to solo entrepreneurs, Tom shares how he's dedicated his life to helping small business owners and solopreneurs access quality, affordable health coverage. Despite his success in the large-account space, Tom noticed an unmet need: Small and mid-sized businesses were often overlooked by health insurers and weren't given access to innovative cost-saving or health improvement solutions that benefited the bigger corporations.  If you're a personal trainer, group ex instructor, wellness coach, massage therapist, or any professional running your own business, this conversation is a game changer. Tom explains the differences between HMO and PPO plans, why traditional ACA ("Affordable Care Act") options can fall short for the self-employed, and how his company's unique group plan model is designed to deliver robust coverage (including preventive care and nationwide access) with transparent pricing and minimal out-of-pocket surprises. Plus, hear about partnerships with organizations like the Freelancers Union, and learn how innovative features like HSAs can work for you—even covering perks like fitness classes. On the healthcare issues facing entrepreneurs, Morrissey states, "We saw the growth. It depends on who you listen to, but estimates are that there'll be 90M solo business, owners by 2028. I want to say there's about 60M now. The guys and gals that own these businesses . . . I think, especially when they're young and healthy, are the ones that get screwed the most in healthcare. You know? All they really have access to is ACA plans." Key themes discussed Challenges of health insurance for solopreneurs and self-employed. Differences between PPO and HMO health plans. Underwriting and rate-setting for solo business owners. Preventive care coverage and HSA/HSA usage changes. Brand trust versus new insurance providers like Solo Health Collective. Partnerships with organizations such as Freelancers Union. Long-term cost sustainability for healthier insurance collectives. A few key takeaways:  1. Solo Health Plans Are Filling a Major Gap: Morrissey explains how traditional health insurance often overlooks solopreneurs and small business owners, especially in the HALO space. His company, Healthy Business Group via Solo Health Collective, is designed specifically to provide comprehensive PPO health plans to solo business owners—offering an alternative with more flexibility and better coverage than typical limited-network ACA and HMO options. 2. Key Plan Advantages-PPO Access and Maximum Out-of-Pocket Clarity: Unlike many ACA or HMO plans that limit provider networks and access, Solo Health Collective offers nationwide PPO plans, granting members broader access to healthcare providers. They also have a straightforward approach: After the deductible is met, there's no coinsurance—meaning your deductible is the absolute maximum you'll pay out-of-pocket for covered expenses (with all preventative care covered in full and not applied to the deductible). 3. Plans Are Designed for Solo Business Owners With Medical Underwriting: To qualify, you must have an EIN (Employer Identification Number) and be a business owner without employees. Members go through a quick, five-question medical underwriting process, which allows the plan to provide tailored age, and location-based rates—often significantly less expensive than standard individual policies, especially for young, healthy professionals. 4. HSAs and Innovative Usage for Wellness Are Embraced: The plan supports health savings accounts (HSAs), and Tom shared how, thanks to evolving IRS guidelines and technology, people can now use HSA funds for things like fitness classes and certain wellness purchases, expanding the value of pre-tax health dollars and encouraging preventive care and healthy lifestyles. 5. Long-Term Value and Stability Solo Health Collective is built on a self-insured, level-funded model supported by robust reinsurance (Odyssey A+ rated.) This allows the collective to stabilize costs and potentially keep renewal increases lower than the industry average—especially as it pools healthier, proactive members like those in the wellness and fitness industries. The long-term goal is to create a sustainable, affordable health insurance solution specifically for entrepreneurs who have historically been underserved.

Seth and Sean react to the breaking news of the Texans agreeing to a 3-year $90M extension with CB Derek Stingley Jr. and lay out why they love the deal.

With the free agency period in the NFL underway, lots of teams have wasted no time in attaining players to help better their organizations rolling into the 2025 season. With shocking trades breaking the news all last week and over the course of the weekend, the Texans have been pretty active in this years free agency. Promptly announcing this morning, the Houston Texans have now reached a 3-year contract extension with Derek Stingley Jr. for $90M, including $89M of it guaranteed at $30M per year for the All-Pro cornerback. Following Stingley's new contract extension and now set with a base salary of $30M, this now makes him the highest paid cornerback in the league as well as the first to now reset the cornerback market for cornerbacks going forward. With the Texans extending Derek's contract, Sean and Dan break the news live and share their thoughts on the extension and what this may mean for the Texans moving forward.   

Tone Digz from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. Tone also has no idea where Aaron Rodgers is going. He did say that Rodgers is not going to ask for 2 years and $90M like our guy Mike Florio reported last week. The guys talked about Mason Rudolph becoming the fan favorite upon his return. Could we see Mike Tomlin and Rodgers battling it out if things don't go well? Tone said Rodgers is one of the best throwers of the football in league history. Tone said him calling for Daniel Jones earlier this week was a ‘dark time' for him. Tone questioned how loyal Kaboly is to Russell Wilson given some of the texts the two have exchanged. Tone thinks there's a chance Rodgers would get booed if he came out at Pat's show in Pittsburgh. The guys asked Tone which weird activity of Rodgers' he would try. Open Phone Friday.

Now there is speculation that the Steelers and Aaron Rodgers have a gap in their contract talks, which could be holding things up. Mike Florio guessed that the contract could be 2 years, $90M for Rodgers, but isn't sure if the Steelers are going to bend over for that. If the Steelers can get Russell Wilson for a much cheaper price, is he a better option? Does Rodgers think he is still an MVP caliber player?

Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Are the Steelers and Aaron Rodgers at an impasse? Mike thinks the team could be preparing for that and use Russell Wilson as a fallback plan. Mike still thinks the Steelers are the best fit for Rodgers, but could also see the team telling Rodgers to get lost if he takes too long on his decision. Mike said the Steelers have never done anything like they did with the DK Metcalf deal, which means they need to have someone getting him the football. Mike isn't sure the Steelers realize what having Metcalf means and he's worried they are dragging their feet too much. Mike said the Vikings are not a team to rule out in all of this. Mike wondered if Rodgers is overplaying his hand right now. Mike thinks the Steelers had the expectation of retaining Justin Fields and when he walked, they panicked. How much do Rodgers and Mike Tomlin actually like each other? Mike doesn't think 2 years/$90M is the price because the deal would have been done already if it was.

Can you believe it? Even The New York Times: yep, that New York Times... published an investigation calling out Planned Parenthood’s shocking negligence and dark underbelly. In this episode of Trending, Timmerie chats with Dr. Ingrid Skop, an OB-GYN and VP at the Charlotte Lozier Institute, detailing this bombshell report. Major Red Flags Revealed: Botched Abortions: A woman in New York thought she had an abortion, only to give birth 12 weeks later to a baby who sadly passed away. She’s now suing. Horrific Malpractice: Misplaced IUDs, failed procedures, and even birth control implants causing nerve damage. Sickening Conditions: One clinic had a sewage leak so bad it made patients vomit. Neglected Patients: Positive STD results never passed on, leading to untreated infections. But... Where’s the Money Going? $700M in taxpayer money. $500M in private donations. $90M in COVID loans. Yet, clinics are underfunded, staff are poorly trained, and turnover rates hit 50% a year. The article makes it clear: Planned Parenthood isn’t about women's health; it’s about abortions and lobbying. What’s the Real Choice? Dr. Skop mentions that there are 3,000+ pregnancy resource centers across the U.S. offering free services: ultrasounds, counseling, material support, you name it. These centers are powered by people who actually care about women and their babies. Timmerie and Dr. Skop emphasize this: Planned Parenthood markets "choice," but real choice means support, love, and options, not pressure and pain. Bottom Line: Even the NYT couldn’t sweep this under the rug. It’s time we help shine more light on the truth and support real women’s healthcare that values both moms and their babies.

PG columnist Jason Mackey joined the show. Jason reacted to the survey the Pirates sent out to fans. The guys discussed what the big issue is here – is Ben Cherington not allowed to spend money or is he afraid to do it? Jason doesn't think the payroll was destined to go above $90M, but he thinks Bob Nutting probably wants it around there, and it isn't right now. Jason doesn't agree with Nutting's approach, but he said he'd likely spend more money if he saw more winning. Jason doesn't think making the best offer to a free agent means they will get him and that there are other factors involved.

The Pirates surveyed their fans. They want answers. Are the Pirates an organization that cares about winning? Are the Pirates an organization that cares about their on-field product? You can say the team is prestigious given this history, but it's hard to say ‘yes' to the other questions. Fans gave their takes on the Pirates survey. How will the team respond to seeing answers they don't like? PG columnist Jason Mackey joined the show. Jason reacted to the survey the Pirates sent out to fans.

Pablo Srugo, partner at Mistral Venture Partners and host of The Product Market Fit Show, shares his journey from co-founding startups like Gymtrack to becoming a venture capitalist focused on seed-stage investments. He reflects on the lessons learned through his and other founders' entrepreneurial highs and lows, including raising $6 million for a wearable tech company and navigating the challenges of a failed acquisition.Now, as an investor, Pablo emphasizes the importance of founder passion, solving top-priority customer problems, and the "why" behind ventures. He discusses what makes founders stand out, noting that only 10% of first meetings turn into investments. With vivid examples, like a company scaling to $90M in revenue before a dramatic downturn, Pablo provides an authentic look into the messy realities of early-stage investing.In this episode, you'll learn:[01:50] Meet Pablo Srugo: From startup hustler to VC[06:24] Why some founders make poor investors and vice versa[09:08] The art of letting go: The ability to step back as an investor[13:05] How a compelling founder's personal story and origin drives VC decision-making[16:49] Pablo's focus on team, market fit, and value proposition[23:40] Value creation vs. noise: Understanding and delivering clear value is the most critical factor in gaining an investor's conviction to invest.[30:25] Lessons from missed opportunities: Pablo passed on a startup that later scaled 30x and learned the importance of truly understanding the Ideal Customer Profile (ICP).[35:48] The Product Market Fit Show dissects the zero-to-one journey of successful founders and shares lessons from those who failed despite early traction.

There's a lot of great content out there. So why not find inspiration there? Sample it, remix it and make it your own.In this episode, we're turning to one of the greats when it comes to sampling: the late rapper and producer J Dilla. Together with the help of our guest, Head of Marketing at Crowdcube, John Hills, we're talking about borrowing from content that's already out there, building your content IP, and never losing your human touch.About our guest, John HillsJohn Hills is Head of Marketing at Crowdcube, Europe's leading equity crowdfunding platform. To date, they've helped raise over £1.4 billion for over 1,300 businesses and built up a community of over 1.7 million members. He joined Crowdcube in April of 2022. Prior to his current role, John led the marketing team at FrontFundr, Canada's leading equity crowdfunding platform. There, his team helped 70+ companies raise more than $90M and built up an investor community of over 32,000 people. He has also previously held marketing roles at Duuers and Founder Institute. Outside of work, he is a bass player, marathon runner and a record collector.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Donuts:Sample, sample, sample. Just like J Dilla samples from Dionne Warwick, The Temptations, Run-DMC and more on Donuts, you can borrow ideas from content that's already out there too. You don't have to come up with something totally original every time. John says, “When you're doing content marketing, the bar is incredibly high. You can feel quite overwhelmed. Like, I don't have the budget that Apple has, neither do I have the brand expertise or the people to do it. That doesn't mean that I can't have an impact. I can still be scrappy. I can still look at what's working and create things that are memorable and valuable for people. And so I think that you can just look at what's already out there and how you fit into that rather than feeling you have to create something new. You can take what's there, see what appeals to people and see how you can make that memorable and impactful as well.”Build your content IP. John says, “You could create a load of content and just farm it out. [But instead] why don't you find a problem that your customer really cares about, name it so you're acknowledging it, you're identifying it, and then exist only to solve that problem. You become known - you become synonymous - with that content IP.” For J Dilla, his calling card - what he was known for - was a horn sampled from Isaac Hayes. And John says, “​​I kind of think of that as his content IP. You know it's him. It's giving you what you want, which is a dopamine hit of great music. He's being there for you. And I think that's what we have to do as marketers too, right? Like basically find your Isaac Hayes horn and blast it where appropriate.”AI's a useful tool, but never lose your human touch. John says “that's really what's going to land with people and what's going to resonate.” It's like how J Dilla sampled from live recordings, which John points out have slight imperfections and variations from a studio recording. He says live recordings catch your ear, engage you more and are more memorable.Quotes*”Sampling is interesting because you're channeling your interests. You're like part curator, part creator. And like that is truly what a marketer is. It's just a perfect metaphor for modern marketing.” - Ian Faison*”If you want to engage and build an audience, you want to be known as someone that's bringing them the good stuff. You filter through. You know which places to look, which is what [J Dilla's] doing on the album. Like, ‘I know this really particular little piece of a song which I dug out from a record shop and turned into something that sounds really cool for you.' In the same way we, as marketers, have an attention economy, right? So it's kind of ‘Why should you have to pay attention to me rather than someone else?' I've done the hard yards and I'm bringing you the good stuff, packaged neatly in a newsletter or a podcast or on a social feed.” - John HillsTime Stamps[0:55] Meet John Hills, Head of Marketing at Crowdcube[2:44] Exploring the Genius of J Dilla and Donuts[10:39] Sampling in Music and Marketing: Creativity Unleashed[22:13] AI in Marketing: Keeping the Human Touch Alive[26:30] Crafting a Content Strategy at Crowdcube[27:42] Content Strategy: Educating Companies on Equity Crowdfunding[28:19] The Art of Content Distribution and Engagement[29:04] Crafting High-Quality, Educational Content[31:18] Innovative Campaigns: From Invoicing Templates to Cricket Burgers[40:25] Leveraging LinkedIn for Demand Generation[44:26] Broadening Horizons: Beyond Marketing Books[46:53] RecommendationsLinksWatch Parks and RecreationConnect with Jen on LinkedInLearn more about IntellimizeAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.
