"I doubled my profit when I lost 70% of my customers, which is insane." - Brad HartMy guest this week, Brad Hart, owner of Forest Park Pharmacy, came on the show to discuss how he moved his pharmacy from struggling to survive in a broken, insurance-based reimbursement model to thriving as an all-cash, "cost-plus" business.Brad popped on my radar because of his very popular and informative Instagram profile, where he shows how everyday Americans are getting fleeced by PBMs. We break down the mechanics of his model and discuss the "low copay trap," why the term "specialty generic" is nonsense, and how his pharmacy's Price Checker tool brings radical transparency to a purposefully confusing industry.We also dive into the exponential overpayments Brad has uncovered in the Medicare system, where a drug that costs his pharmacy $96 is reimbursed for over $3,400.This is one you won't want to miss!Chapters:(00:00:00) This Pharmacy Went Cash-Only, Lost 70% Of Customers, & Doubled Profits(00:07:28) The "Cost-Plus" Pharmacy Model, Explained (00:08:49) How Brad Lost 70% of Customers & Doubled Profits (00:10:45) The Deceptive "Low Copay Trap" (00:13:29) The Pricing Breakdown: Cost + 15% + $10 (00:34:52) Why the Term "Specialty Generic" is Nonsense (00:47:53) What is the Average Wholesale Price (AWP)? (00:52:41) PBM Reform vs. Direct-to-ConsumerKey Links for Social:@SelfFunded on YouTube for video versions of the podcast and much more - https://www.youtube.com/@SelfFundedListen/watch on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1TjmrMrkIj0qSmlwAIevKA?si=068a389925474f02Listen on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-funded-with-spencer/id1566182286Follow Spencer on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencer-smith-self-funded/Follow Spencer on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/selffundedwithspencer/

This week on Spaghetti on the Wall, we're joined by Brad Hart, founder of Optimus and Repurposefully, a mastermind architect and AI strategist who helps 7- and 8-figure entrepreneurs scale without burnout.

Brad makes his home in Houston, Texas.

EP. 215: I sat down with Brad Hart, owner of Forest Park Pharmacy in Fort Worth, to expose the shocking truth behind pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and how they're driving up drug prices. What I learned about vertical integration in the healthcare system, where insurers own the PBMs and the pharmacies, honestly left me furious. Brad breaks it all down, from Medicare waste to the skyrocketing cost of specialty drugs, and we talk about real solutions like compounding pharmacies and direct-to-consumer options. This is a must-listen if you've ever wondered why your medications cost so much—and who's really profiting. Topics Discussed:  What are pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and how do they increase drug prices? How are health insurance companies profiting from vertical integration in the pharmacy system? Why are independent and rural pharmacies struggling to stay open? What impact do PBMs have on Medicare spending and prescription drug costs? How can consumers save money on medications without relying on insurance?

We try to grasp a better understanding of the role of Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) and explore the differences between chain pharmacies and PBM pharmacies. We also touch on the rise of Cost-Plus Pharmacies, including Mark Cuban's pharmacy, and how they aim to disrupt traditional pricing models.We chat with Forest Park Pharmacy co-owner Brad Hart as he analyzes the challenges faced by CVS, despite owning a PBM like Caremark, and examines the intricacies of GoodRx and its impact on prescription drug costs. We'll also explore the purpose of price checkers and how they can empower consumers to make informed decisions.We discuss the challenges faced by Medicare recipients and local pharmacies in accessing affordable medications, particularly GLP-1 therapies. It's a jungle out there in the pharmacy world, and we think this will help give us just a bit of clarity in the complexities in a confusing pharmaceutical arena. ______________________________________________________________________⭐️Mounjaro Stanley⭐️griffintumblerco.Etsy.comUse code PODCAST10 for $ OFF______________________________________________________________________Join this channel to get access to perks:   / @theplussidez______________________________________________________________________#Mounjaro #MounjaroJourney #Ozempic #Semaglutide #tirzepatide  #GLP1 #Obesity #zepbound #wegovy  Kim Carlos, Executive Producer TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@dmfkim?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dmfkimonmounjaro?igsh=aDF6dnlmbHBoYmJn&utm_source=qr Kat Carter, Associate Producer TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@katcarter7?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Instagram https://www.instagram.com/mrskatcarter?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==

The thing that you must understand is that not all the heavy hitters have a mastermind that continues to renew on its own. Many of them have to just keep filling the funnel because the mastermind isn't strong enough to keep them. 2. When to start a mastermind is like that old proverb. Best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, and the second-best time is today. There's no reason to hold back. 3. The price should not be the question. We should really be starting with, what is the promise of the mastermind? What will be different in people's lives if they participate with you for a year or six months or whatever your structure is.

The thing that you must understand is that not all the heavy hitters have a mastermind that continues to renew on its own. Many of them have to just keep filling the funnel because the mastermind isn't strong enough to keep them. 2. When to start a mastermind is like that old proverb. Best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, and the second-best time is today. There's no reason to hold back. 3. The price should not be the question. We should really be starting with, what is the promise of the mastermind? What will be different in people's lives if they participate with you for a year or six months or whatever your structure is.

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for the last day of November, Tuesday, November 30. As last days of November go, Tuesday's weather should be pretty nice. According to a forecast from the National Weather Service it will be partly sunny in the Cedar Rapids area with a high  near 51 degrees. On Tuesday night there will be a 50 percent chance for rain, mainly after 1 a.m., with a low around 37 degrees. Tiffany O'Donnell raised three times as much as her opponent Amara Andrews, in the last month running up to tonight's runoff election that will decide the city's next mayor. Voters earlier this month narrowed a four-way race to just the two top vote-getters, knocking incumbent Brad Hart out of the running. O'Donnell, who earned the most votes of the four but not enough to win the job outright, raised $64,520 since the last reporting period, according to campaign disclosure reports filed Monday. That exceeds the $20,262.47 Andrews raised in the runoff cycle. The election has stoked political divisions as O'Donnell, a registered Republican, has emphasized the need to keep the part-time mayoral role nonpartisan, while Andrews has campaigned as a Democrat. Andrews has said one's https://www.thegazette.com/campaigns-elections/partisan-divides-emerge-in-nonpartisan-cedar-rapids-mayoral-race/ (political party ties )are an indicator of values and judgment. Both candidates have used firms for various campaign services aligned with their respective parties. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday.  The Cedar Rapids teenager accused of killing his parents has entered not guilty pleas to two counts of first-degree murder in arraignment documents filed Monday. Ethan Alexander Orton, 17, was charged as an adult in the killings of Misty Scott Slade, 41, and Casey Orton, 42, in their home at 361 Carnaby Dr. NE in the early morning hours of Oct. 14. He has pleaded not guilty to charges, but has not waived his right to a speedy trial. A trial date was not immediately set Monday afternoon. After receiving a 911 call around 2 a.m. Oct. 14 for suspicious noises coming from the residence, Cedar Rapids police reported they arrived at the Orton house and found the accused sitting outside, covered in “what appeared to be blood.” According to a criminal complaint, https://www.thegazette.com/crime-courts/cedar-rapids-police-teen-stabbed-parents-to-death-to-take-charge-of-his-life/ (Orton told officers he had stabbed both his parents), but then turned to an ax when his mother was still alive. According to reporting from the Associated Press, a federal judge Monday blocked https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-joe-biden-business-lifestyle-health-c6c9d651f631464e168f7a47b6e353bf (President Joe Biden's administration) from enforcing a coronavirus vaccine mandate on thousands of health care workers in 10 states including Iowa. These states together had brought the first legal challenge against the requirement. The court order said that the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid had no clear authority from Congress to enact the vaccine mandate for providers participating in the two government health care programs for the elderly, disabled and poor. The preliminary injunction by St. Louis-based U.S. District Judge Matthew Schelp applies to a coalition of suing states that consists of Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming. Similar lawsuits also are pending in other states. Iowa has five state-run health care facilities that receive Medicare and Medicaid funding: the Iowa Veterans Home, the Cherokee and Independence Mental Health Institutes, and the Glenwood and Woodward Resource Centers Are you a fan of trying new restaurants?

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Saturday, November 6, and Sunday, November 7. We are looking at some pleasant weekend weather coming up. According to the National Weather Service it will be sunny with a high near 65 degrees on Saturday in the Cedar Rapids area. On Saturday evening it will be mostly clear and a low around 42 degrees. There will only be a mild breeze all Saturday. On Sunday it will be a little warmer with a slightly more vigorous breeze, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 69 degrees. Sunday night it will be mostly clear with a low around 46 degrees. In truly a bizarre turn of events, an Iowa City man shooting an air rifle at a squirrel in his yard inadvertently shot and badly wounded a Marine who was driving by at the time on Oct. 17, authorities announced Friday. Philip Olson, 69, of Iowa City, faces fines ranging from $305 to $1,055 for violating city code and Iowa Department of Natural Resources regulations. Olson, who came forward during the investigation and was not arrested by police, declined to comment Friday when reached by The Gazette. The announcement reveals to the public for the first time what police believe happened on the evening that Gabriel Heefner, 20, a lance corporal in the U.S. Marines, was found in a crashed car with a gunshot wound to the head. Heefner had been in town visiting his grandparents and went to grab takeout when he was shot along the way. HIs family reports that he is out of critical condition after a period of fighting for his life, but remains in the hospital and is far from recovered. With a slim margin putting Amara Andrews in the second-place spot to proceed to the Nov. 30 runoff election against Tiffany O'Donnell in the race for Cedar Rapids mayor, incumbent Brad Hart announced Friday he will not ask for a recount. “I will finish out my term by serving this great city just like I've tried to do every day for the last four years,” Hart said. “Thank you to my fellow city council members and to the talented city team I've had the privilege to work with. Thank you to the citizens of Cedar Rapids for the opportunity to serve you over the last four years. It has been an honor.” After Linn County accounted for over 100 provisional ballots countywide Thursday, or ballots that required further review of a voter's eligibility to be included in the official count, Andrews increased her margin over Hart from 24 votes to 40. She finished with a total 7,359 votes out of 26,175, https://www.linncountyiowa.gov/DocumentCenter/View/17890/November-2-2021-CitySchool-Election-Results-by-Precinct?bidId= (according to unofficial results). There was finally a break of deadlock in Washington D.C. late Friday night. According to reporting from the Associated Press, the House approved a $1 trillion package of https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-technology-business-broadband-internet-congress-d89d6bb1b39cd9c67ae9fc91f5eb4c0d (road and other infrastructure projects) after Democrats resolved a months-long standoff between progressives and moderates, notching a victory for President Joe Biden, albeit not as large of a package as Democrats had hoped for. The House passed the measure 228-206 late Friday, prompting prolonged cheers from the relieved Democratic side of the chamber. Thirteen Republicans, mostly moderates, supported the legislation while six of Democrats' farthest left members opposed it. Iowa and the country could be headed for record corn yields, despite uneven weather throughout the year, state agriculture and climate experts said Friday. Iowa corn is forecast at 2.5 billion bushels, averaging 201 bushels an acre, which is an increase of 24 bushels per acre over last year, according to the latest information from the federal agriculture department. Soybeans appear headed for similarly big yields. Soybeans in Iowa are forecast at 611 million bushes at an average of 61 bushels per acre, up 7 bushels per acre Support this podcast

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Wednesday, November 3. The sun will be out Wednesday, but don't let it fool you. It will be definite sweatshirt weather with a high of 46 degrees in the Cedar Rapids area. The low temperature will settle in below freezing at 31 degrees. Thankfully, the National Weather Service reports we will have some warmer weather in store in our near future. It was election day Tuesday, and with that came the news that there would be a change in leadership of Iowa's second-largest city. What still remains to be seen is who that new leader will be. Cedar Rapids voters decided Tuesday to narrow a four-way race for mayor to Amara Andrews and Tiffany O'Donnell, outright defeated incumbent Brad Hart to head to a Nov. 30 runoff election. No candidates reached the necessary 50 percent of the vote, so the top two vote-getters — TrueNorth executive Andrews and Women Lead Change Chief Executive Officer O'Donnell — have less than a month to vie for the city's top elected role. O'Donnell emerged with over 40 percent of the vote — 10,991 total — while Andrews edged out Hart by a 24-vote margin to finish second with 7,332 votes, according to unofficial results. Speaking of results, you can find all of the rest of Tuesday's election results, plus our coverage of local races, at thegazette.com. There was another important vote Tuesday, this on the ongoing Deere strike involving more than 10,000 employees spanning three states including Iowa. The UAW union on Tuesday voted down the latest offer from Deere & Co., the second proposal offering higher wages and perks aimed at resolving a strike. The union vote appeared close to 55 percent opposed and 45 percent supporting the deal. The proposed agreement offered improved wages and benefits from the initial agreement, which was overwhelmingly voted down Oct. 10. The strike will continue without the ratification of an agreement. It's a setback for the union and the company, as representatives for both have been meeting in negotiations since before the strike. Another big decision that happened Tuesday will affect parents and children nationwide. According to reporting from the Associated Press, U.S. health officials on Tuesday gave final approval to Pfizer's kid-size COVID-19 vaccine, a milestone that opens a major expansion of the nation's vaccination campaign to children as young as 5 years of age. The Food and Drug Administration already authorized the shots for children ages 5 to 11 — doses just a third of the amount given to teens and adults. But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention formally recommends who should receive FDA-cleared vaccines. The announcement by CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky came only hours after an advisory panel unanimously decided Pfizer's shots should be opened to the 28 million Americans in that age group. In anticipation of the approval, Pfizer over the weekend began shipping millions of the pediatric shots to states, doctors' offices and pharmacies — in orange caps, to avoid mix-ups with purple-capped vials of adult vaccine.

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Saturday, October 2 and Sunday, October 3. There will be a small chance for rain all weekend, but, mostly, it will feel like fall. According to the National Weather Service there will be a 20 percent chance of showers after 3 p.m. Saturday. Besides that it will be cloudy, with a high near 80 degrees. On Sunday there will be a chance of showers and thunderstorms, with a chance of precipitation listed at 40 percent. It will be mostly cloudy on Sunday with a high near 76 degrees.  “Multiple” people were shot and injured Friday night at the Ramada by Wyndham hotel in southwest Cedar Rapids, authorities said. Cedar Rapids police provided few details, but said those injured were taken to the hospital with what appeared to be non-life-threatening injuries. Police received a report about 10:30 p.m. about gunshots at the hotel, 525 33rd Ave. SW. In a short news release, police did not say if the shooting took place inside or outside the hotel, how many people were hurt or whether a suspect had been detained. The department said the investigation is ongoing. Cedar Rapids Mayor Brad Hart challenged his three rivals to share who's bankrolling their campaigns weeks before a legal deadline requires it, and he got one candidate to take him up on it. Women Lead Change Chief Executive Officer Tiffany O'Donnell reported Friday having raised nearly twice as much as Hart, the incumbent, so far. https://www.scribd.com/document/529014728/Brad-Hart-campaign-donations (Hart's release of his information), promised in a virtual forum hosted by The Gazette, was his effort to show “broad local support” and appeal across political parties. His campaign urged the other mayoral hopefuls to “join them in being fully transparent with the voters by releasing donor information” from the beginning of the year through the end of September by Oct. 8. The state's deadline for candidates to file the information is Oct. 28, five days before the Nov. 2 election. So far, O'Donnell reported having raised $113,285 from 262 contributions, while Hart has raised $62,780 from 192 donors. The majority of donors for both candidates hail from Cedar Rapids. Former Vice President Mike Pence will be in Iowa City on Nov. 1 to speak at the Young America's Foundation's campus lecture series. Pence, the foundation's Ronald Reagan Presidential Scholar, https://www.yaf.org/events/vice-president-mike-pence-at-the-university-of-iowa/ (will speak 7 p.m. in the Iowa Memorial Union Main Lounge). Ticketing information will be released in the coming days. In addition to visiting the UI, Pence will speak at Texas A&M and a number of other college campuses. His lecture will be sponsored by the UI Young America's Foundation chapter. The foundation, founded in 1960, has several high school and college chapters that advocate conservative ideas through activism and speaker events. Iowa City Pride has waited months to host its 50th anniversary in person — and that time is finally here. The longest-running LGBTQ Pride celebration had to postpone its milestone anniversary last year and shift its events online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Saturday's celebrations kick off at noon with a Unity March instead of the event's usual parade. People can begin gathering as early as 10 a.m., and there will be poster boards and markers for anyone wanting to make signs. The march will begin at College Green Park at the corner of College and Johnson streets and wrap up at the corner of Linn and Washington.

They market and sell and then they have to deliver and then they're left at square one.” 02:25 - Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Brad: “So I would say anybody that is already in the services industry, they're either doing some sort of writing books or courses or you know, those are all great things. Coaching, consulting, they're all wonderful ways to serve people, but they don't necessarily scale as well as a mastermind.” 03:43 - Common mistakes that people make before they find Brad's solution: “What I'm recognizing as I get older, I've been in this particular business six years and since the third business I've built in different industries, I'm realizing like, you know, the same mistakes play themselves out over and over again, you know. You want to limit the risk.” 04:49 - Brad's Valuable Free Action (VFA): “So as far as the process, we do every mastermind similarly, we build every foundation with the same thing. You can do this right away. You don't need to buy anything or do anything additional. It's ‘Who are you? What do you do in 30 seconds?'” 06:12 - Brad's Valuable Free Resource (VFR): Check out Brad's Website: 8minutemastermind.com 07:11 - Q: What is my favorite black and white animal? A: It's a penguin.
