Health insurance or health cost-sharing—which is the better fit for your family? With open enrollment upon us, it's the perfect moment to explore your choices. Joining me today is Lauren Gajdek to highlight the key differences between health insurance and health cost-sharing.Lauren Gajdek is the Senior Director of External Affairs at Christian Healthcare Ministries (CHM), an underwriter of Faith & Finance. The Landscape of Traditional Health InsuranceOpen enrollment season is right around the corner—running from November 1 through January 15, 2026. For most people, that means navigating the world of traditional health insurance. These plans typically require you to select doctors and specialists within a designated provider network, often necessitating referrals or pre-authorization before receiving care.While insurance companies provide coverage, their structure can come at a high cost. Premiums and deductibles are often steep, and because insurers operate for profit, patient care and affordability don't always align. For many families, this creates a significant financial burden.How Health Cost Sharing Is DifferentHealth cost-sharing ministries, such as CHM, offer a unique alternative. The end result is the same—your medical bills are taken care of—but the process looks very different.No provider networks: Members are free to choose their own doctors and hospitals.Nonprofit model: Unlike insurance companies, CHM is a ministry. Members send in a set monthly contribution, which is pooled together to reimburse medical costs.Community approach: Instead of being absorbed into a bureaucratic system, members know that their contributions directly help fellow believers in need.Since its founding, CHM has facilitated over $10 billion in shared medical bills.How Does Health Cost-Sharing Work?Here's how it works for a typical family:Choose your provider. Members can see any doctor or hospital as long as the treatment fits CHM's guidelines.Identify as self-pay. This allows members to receive significant discounts often, sometimes as high as 40%.Submit bills to CHM. The ministry coordinates with providers as needed. In the meantime, members may set up a temporary payment plan until reimbursement arrives.The process is straightforward, designed to give families peace of mind while also offering flexibility and savings.What to Keep in Mind During Open EnrollmentWhen weighing your options, consider more than just the monthly premium. Ask:How much am I actually paying out-of-pocket after deductibles, co-pays, and coinsurance?Will my coverage travel with me if I go out of state—or out of the country?With CHM, members don't face co-pays or coinsurance, and qualifying medical bills are shared 100% according to ministry guidelines. Additionally, portability makes it an appealing option for families who want flexibility, regardless of where life takes them.A Biblical Approach to HealthcareAt its core, CHM is more than a healthcare solution—it's a ministry. Members not only share medical expenses but also pray for one another and receive prayer support in return. Every monthly contribution is a gift that directly helps another member in need.CHM reflects biblical principles of bearing one another's burdens while providing a practical, affordable path to healthcare.To explore whether health cost sharing is right for your family this open enrollment season, visit CHMinistries.org/Faith.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm refinancing my home and am unsure whether I should roll the closing costs into the new loan or pay them from my investments or retirement accounts. Rolling them into the loan would lower my monthly payment, but is that the wisest choice financially—and biblically?Could you explain where the funds actually come from with a reverse mortgage, who technically owns the home in this arrangement, and whether the FHA backs the loan?My wife and I recently took a required minimum distribution from her IRA and made a qualified charitable distribution to our church. They told us it wasn't tax-deductible and wouldn't issue a receipt. What does the IRS actually require in this situation?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Christian Healthcare Ministries (CHM)Understanding Reverse: Simplifying the Reverse Mortgage by Dan HultquistWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

How can marketers stay discoverable as AI reshapes the search landscape?This special Hard Corps Marketing Show takeover episode features an episode from the Connect To Market podcast, hosted by Casey Cheshire. In this conversation, Casey sits down with Al Sargent, Senior Director, Product, Solution & Partner Marketing at ZEDEDA, to explore the evolving field of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). Al delivers a strategic and practical breakdown of how marketers can adapt to the rise of AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini- tools that are reshaping how content is discovered and consumed.He explains how GEO differs from traditional SEO, why documentation matters more than ever, and how to leverage content repetition and high-authority sites to maintain discoverability. Al also shares his personal journey in tech and marketing, emphasizing the role of empathy, mentorship, and community-building in professional growth.In this episode, we cover:How to use LLM.txt files and structured content to improve visibilityThe importance of repurposing and repeating content across platformsLeveraging high-authority sites like Wikipedia to support GEOWhy competitive comparison content is crucial in the AI search era
This episode of the Astonishing Healthcare podcast features a unique client of ours - Andy Glade, Senior Director of Trade Operations at Valeris. We discussed how to remove financial barriers to care and streamline access to the medications people need through the use of copay cards, vouchers, and patient assistance programs (PAPs). In a rapidly evolving market, these programs play an important role in reducing prescription abandonment and increasing adherence in convenient ways, particularly for chronic conditions and when extremely expensive specialty medications are prescribed.Additional highlights from the conversation with Andy include:How modern technology - Judi® - helps make life easier by giving the Valeris team control and the flexibility to quickly design programs, test new features, and monitor their programs through detailed reporting.How copay cards help with brand-name prescription drugs, especially those with higher price tags or drugs that are on the higher tiers of insurance (where out-of-pocket costs can be significant): "They're super common in competitive drug categories like diabetes, or asthma, or psoriasis, where multiple branded drugs are fighting for market share."What the patient pays: these programs differ in terms of cost for patients, but all are designed to improve access. Some programs have a maximum dollar amount or a limit on the number of fills you can get; others are more flexible and don't have a cap at all.An astonishing - but all too common - example of a patient who was able to overcome embarrassment and access an expensive branded injectable at no cost.Related Content12 New Judi® Features Innovating Pharmacy Benefit AdministrationReplay: The Future of Health Benefit Design: How Judi® Powers Seamless Care and Better OutcomesAH081 - Promoting Competition & Innovation: The Push for PBM Reform, with Rep.

I've worked with older adults for a long time, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's this: the hardest conversations are often the most necessary. We plan for weddings, retirements, even vacations—but not for how we want to be cared for when we can't speak for ourselves. That's why I invited Kate DeBartolo, Senior Director at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, to join me for a powerful, practical conversation about how to talk with your loved ones about your wishes for care through the end of life. Spoiler alert: it's not really about dying—it's about how you want to live.

Welcome to the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence.On today's episode, Sara Payne sits down with Emily Hansen, Senior Director of the Resensation program at Axogen, to discuss how healthcare brands can leverage thought leadership to reshape public perceptions, influence behavior change, and ultimately become architects of a health revolution.As a specialist in advocacy and education, Emily champions awareness about a lesser-known but highly prevalent outcome of breast cancer surgery: chronic numbness following a mastectomy. Through her work at Axogen, she's spearheading a movement to empower breast cancer patients and their care teams with knowledge and solutions that can dramatically enhance quality of life beyond survival—focusing on nerve repair and the pioneering Resensation procedure.In this thought-provoking conversation, Sara and Emily explore the intersection of marketing, education, and advocacy. They dive into the challenges of raising awareness about health issues shrouded by misconceptions, the vital role of patient advocates, and how moving beyond short-term wins toward long-term health movements is key to redefining standards of care. You'll hear about real strategies for engaging the survivor community, addressing clinician knowledge gaps, and the ongoing effort to translate awareness into tangible business and health outcomes.Thank you for being part of the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence. The future of healthcare depends on it.Key Takeaways:Marketing as a Catalyst for Health Movements:Emily illustrates how powerful marketing can spark a health movement—even for issues that have been historically overlooked. By focusing efforts on educating both patients and clinicians about post-mastectomy numbness and offering actionable solutions, the Resensation program exemplifies marketing's role in not just awareness, but wholesale perception change within healthcare.Stakeholder-Centric Communication:Reaching both patients and providers requires tailored messaging and a multi-pronged approach. Emily explains that effective campaigns must bridge awareness gaps in diverse audiences, from general consumers and advocacy groups to the full spectrum of clinicians. The Resensation team balances highly technical provider information with relatable patient stories to ensure relevance and clarity across all touchpoints.The Power (and Sensitivity) of Patient Advocacy:Patient advocates are not mere influencers; they are individuals with lived experiences and deep personal investment. Emily shares how collaborating authentically with survivor communities—such as The Breasties—can accelerate education and trust. She emphasizes the importance of letting advocates' voices lead and prioritizing the issue above the brand to build an enduring movement.Long-Term Commitment Over Short-Term Wins:Creating lasting change in public and professional awareness isn't achieved through one-off major media hits. Instead, it demands continuous investment, evolving narratives, and relationship-building across years. Emily underscores that consistent, layered outreach (PR, education, advocacy partnerships, and digital content) is essential for sustaining momentum and meeting both patient and business objectives.Measuring Impact: Business and Behavioral Outcomes:The Resensation campaign's success isn't just marked by media impressions, but by tangible growth in web traffic, patient referrals, and most compellingly, provider demand for training. Emily discusses the importance of presenting both quantitative metrics and qualitative anecdotes to executive leaders as evidence of progress, and how adapting data models helps demonstrate true business value over time.For more information about the Resensation program, including educational resources and a...
The guest host for today's show is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns. His show, 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon,' airs every Monday from 3-4pm ET. Brad is first joined by Tim Karr, Senior Director of Strategy and Communications at 'Free Press,' a nonpartisan organization fighting for your rights to connect and communicate. The pair examines how Trump and his FCC pressured media organizations to remove Jimmy Kimmel from the airwaves, but also discusses how Americans banded together to make their voices heard in opposition to the authoritarian style actions. Then, Brad is joined by Ana Valdez, President & CEO of the Latino Donor Collaborative (LDC), which produces the annual U.S. Latino GDP Report. The two examine the contributions made by Hispanic Americans, as well as their population and economic trends, in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month. Brad and Ana also talk about the repercussions from the Supreme Court decision that allows ICE to resume arrests in Los Angeles based on appearance, language, or type of work. Drawing on the LDC's data showing Latinos as one of America's fastest-growing economic engines, Ana also released a statement emphasizing that the Court's decision carries consequences far beyond immigration enforcement: "This is not law enforcement; it is racial profiling. That is not how the Fourth Amendment is supposed to work. The Constitution requires specific facts, not a checklist of skin color, language, and job site. It also ignores economic reality. Latinos are not on the margins of this country; we are a major growth driver. Our GDP reached $4 trillion in 2023, making us the fifth-largest economy in the world if measured independently. Latino incomes and purchasing power are growing about twice as fast as the rest of the country, and Latino consumer spending topped $2.5 trillion last year. Targeting people who look or sound Latino undercuts the workforce and the businesses that keep the U.S. economy strong for everyone. Profiling this workforce is economic self-harm. And it ignores the community reality. Most Latinos are fully part of the American fabric. Ninety-four percent of Latinos under 18 are U.S.-born, and nine out of ten Latinos overall are citizens or lawful residents. Treating Spanish speakers or brown people as presumptive suspects means punishing citizens on their way to work and parents on school runs, not just the undocumented. Enforcement of immigration law cannot come at the cost of civil liberties and human dignity. America's economic future depends on treating Latinos as full and equal participants in our society, not targets of suspicion."

The art world is undergoing a profound transformation. Traditional models of collecting and dealing are giving way to new players, platforms, and hybrid business models that blur the lines between galleries, auction houses, advisors, and digital marketplaces. At The Art Bystander, we are closely following these shifts—where technology, luxury, and creativity intersect to redefine how art is experienced, bought, and sold.In this context, our host Roland-Philippe Kretzschmar is joined by Elliot Safra, a figure at the forefront of these changes. Safra is the co-founder of The Art Marketplace, an online platform facilitating global private sales, and the founder of AndArt Agency, a creative consultancy dedicated to building collaborations between luxury brands and the art world.

When most people think about recreational vehicles– you know, RVs, campers, they picture freedom — the open road, family vacations, maybe even a way of life. What probably doesn't come to mind is deforestation in Borneo. Yet half of all tropical plywood harvested globally ends up in RVs.In episode 199 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we dig into how the RV industry in the United States has become a major driver of rainforest destruction, threatening orangutan habitat, draining peatlands, and displacing Indigenous Dayak communities. Our guest, Amanda Hurowitz, Senior Director at Mighty Earth, walks us through her team's investigation into how one specific type of plywood from Indonesia makes its way into American RVs and why it has been an industry secret for so long.Amanda Hurowitz leads Mighty Earth's Forest Commodities team, overseeing campaigns to protect forests and communities across Asia and Africa.

I recently returned from my annual pilgrimage to the HR Technology Conference in Las Vegas. There are a ton of conferences in our industry, but HR Tech still remains the event to come to for the most comprehensive view of innovation in talent acquisition. It is clear that things are moving fast with technology; AI is already moving from narrow, single-use tools to orchestration layers and multiple agents that promise to revolutionise talent acquisition. Unfortunately, it is making the tech landscape very difficult to understand from a buyer's perspective, as traditional software categories are collapsing. At the same time, the legacy cornerstones of the recruiting process, resumes, interviews, and job descriptions, are looking increasingly inadequate, with candidates and employers caught in an AI arms race that is currently making the experience worse rather than better. So how can TA leaders cut through the noise, balance efficiency with fairness, and bring humanity back into recruiting while taking advantage of the enormous potential AI offers? What new skills will be needed to lead in this environment, and how do organisations avoid just using AI to do the wrong things faster? While I was at the show, I caught up with two of my regular podcast guests, Allyn Bailey, Senior Director of Brand and Communications at SmatRecruiters, and Daniel Chait, CEO of Greenhouse, both of whom offered some sensible guiding insights into what is becoming a very complex space. In the interviews, we discuss: Blurring categories of vendors is confusing for buyers. AI's next phase of orchestration layers and multiple agents The importance of open systems Will we finally see the end of resumes? The surge of AI interviewing Why the candidate experience keeps getting worse Balancing efficiency with fairness and keeping humans in the loop The new skills TA Leaders need Follow this podcast on Apple Podcasts.

"85% of AI use cases are being evaluated by the engineer who built it saying, 'yep, seemed to work pretty well.' If you're gonna build a system that's going to be critical to the business, that's going to be important that it gets it right, then you can't do that without evaluations." - Craig Wiley Fresh out of the studio, Craig Wiley, Senior Director of Product Management at Databricks who leads Mosaic AI, joins us to discuss the forefront of enterprise AI from model development to deployment at scale. Beginning with his career journey in ML operations, Craig explained how he recognized the critical connection between data and AI layers that could deliver order-of-magnitude acceleration in development cycles. Emphasizing the transition from classical ML operations to LLM operations, he showcased how Databricks' unified platform eliminates training-serving skew through data lineage capabilities and supports both fine-tuning and RAG approaches depending on industrial use case requirements. Highlighting compelling customer success stories including Suncorp's employee productivity platform and AstraZeneca's transformation of 400,000 clinical trial documents into queryable insights, Craig revealed a striking reality about enterprise AI evaluation - that 85% of AI use cases are being evaluated only by the engineers who built them, reinforcing that proper evaluation frameworks remain foundational for trustworthy AI implementation. He concluded by introducing Agent Bricks as Databricks' evaluation-centric approach to building production agents, emphasizing that model flexibility and rigorous testing are essential for enterprises moving from experimentation to production, while sharing his vision that the industry must evolve from the "year of agents" to the "year of evaluation and quality."

Why do we love robots so much? Especially as toys? And for so long? I think it's because toy robots perfectly reflect embody the intersection of imagination, play, and technology.

For adults, robot toys oftenreflect deeper cultural hopes and anxieties about progress, automation, and the future.In this episode, Chris talksto Jamie Zhang, Senior Director and CFO of Robosen.The company has made a splash with its super, sophisticated robots based on Buzz Lightyear and Optimus Prime.
