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.

"It's also true that we are not as good at a particular thing as somebody else, and so I think the thing that is so essential and so rare here is that we figure out how to have honest conversations and acknowledgement of the difference in skill level that doesn't carry with it a difference in value of the person."Karen & Paul share the challenges and dynamics of having a highly skilled expert on a team. They explore how the presence of a standout expert can both benefit and complicate team interactions.

What does it really mean to grieve — and when does grief become a danger to your life? In this weighty episode, host Gabe Howard sits down with Dr. Mary-Frances O'Connor, a leading expert in psychology whose work on grief and loss has touched millions. Dr. O'Connor shares groundbreaking insights on the subtle yet critical differences between the stereotypical grief process and prolonged grief, revealing why your heart can literally stop functioning due to loss. From staggering statistics showing a man's heart attack risk skyrockets on the day his spouse dies, to the intimate science of how our bonds regulate our well-being, this conversation is as thought-provoking as it is moving. Discover practical strategies to navigate those raw, overwhelming moments of loss, and learn how to build a personal toolkit for healing. Whether you're coping with grief yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode promises a deep, human exploration into turning heartbreak into hope. This episode has been sponsored by the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA). “It's not just that you're having grief, which is normal. It's that we're unable to find a way to adapt given that we have grief. So people with prolonged grief feel like life holds no meaning anymore, or they feel so angry and bitter about what's happened that they have trouble connecting with their living loved ones.” ~ Mary-Frances O'Connor, PhD Our guest, Mary-Frances O'Connor, PhD, is a professor of psychology at the University of Arizona, where she directs the Grief, Loss and Social Stress (GLASS) Lab, investigating the effects of grief on the brain and the body. Her book “The Grieving Brain” was included on Oprah's list of Best Books to Comfort a Grieving Friend. O'Connor holds a PhD in clinical psychology from the University of Arizona and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in psychoneuroimmunology at the UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior. Having grown up in Montana, she now lives in Tucson, Arizona. Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder.

In today's world, clear communication feels increasingly challenging. With so many differences and divides among us, it's harder to express ourselves honestly and lovingly while being understood as we intend. This challenge is especially visible on social media, where misunderstandings often deepen the divisions between us. Scripture speaks profoundly to this struggle, particularly in the book of Acts, where the Holy Spirit empowers the disciples to communicate across divides. In the Christian tradition, we call this moment "Pentecost." This year, we celebrate Pentecost on June 8, 2025. It's a time to reflect on what the Holy Spirit accomplished then—and what the Spirit is calling us to do now to bridge the vast divides in our world. If you'd like to explore the Scripture passages mentioned in this episode, here's the list: Acts 2:1-12 Philippians 2:3-4 1 Corinthians 13:1 James 1:19 Luke 12:12 Galatians 3:28 John 13:35 We concluded the episode with this prayer: Holy Spirit, give us the words to bridge our divides, the patience to listen, and the love to unite us as your people. Amen. Guest Information Rev. Monica Humpal is the host of the Curious Living Podcast, an Associate Pastor at Williamson's Chapel United Methodist Church, and a master-certified life coach. Passionate about exploring life's curious questions, she seeks deeper wisdom and understanding in all she does. Monica resides in Davidson, North Carolina, and cherishes the beauty of the outdoors and Scotland's landscapes.

In this riotously entertaining episode, the RPGBOT.Podcast crew embarks on a wild ride from the expressive chaos of Nicolas Cage's acting to the mythic battlegrounds of Ysgard, the Viking heaven of Norse mythology. Along the way, the hosts take pit stops in Glorium's rowdy streets, wander the dwarven stronghold of Nidavellir, and contemplate the celestial politics of Seluna and Shar. Whether you came for cinematic hot takes, planar travel lore, or tactical GM advice, this episode has something for everyone who enjoys myth-heavy mayhem and tactical improvisation. The crew dives into the layers of Ysgard's lore—from eternal battles and sentient giants to magical gate towns and celestial intrigue—blending serious worldbuilding with their signature humor. They also tackle the practical side of RPG combat, offering advice on reskinning monsters, navigating Challenge Ratings, and surviving those “oh no” moments behind the DM screen. So strap in for an episode that's part mythic deep-dive, part Cage-fueled comedy roast, and 100% tabletop chaos. Key Topics Covered: Character Creation & Acting Tangents The artistry of Nicolas Cage: method actor or chaos incarnate? Mark Wahlberg's variable performance range. Why bad movies sometimes make for great inspiration. RPG character creation as a narrative tool and personal expression. Deep Dive: Ysgard, the Plane of Eternal Battle Ysgard is Viking heaven: eternal war, mighty mead, and storytelling mayhem. The confusing yet compelling structure of Norse myth and its impact on D&D lore. Differences between Ysgard and Akaron: glory vs. order. Portals, planar access points, and the metaphysical bus schedules to Ysgard. The Rumelais: unique native creatures with mysterious motivations. Giants in Ysgard: smart, social, and surprisingly civilized. Gate Town Glorium: culture-rich, fire-giant-threatened, and narrative gold. Nidavellir: a dwarven and gnomish city-state with its own unique governance. Celestials and cosmology: the Lilin, transformed by Seluna, and the tension with Shar. Mythical Bits & Narrative Hooks Rattatosker the squirrel: more than a meme, he's a lore-bearing rodent of mischief. How players can plug their own stories into the mythic framework of Ysgard. Tirza of Glorium: adding drama, danger, or comic relief to planar campaigns. The Gates of the Moon: not just a poetic name, but a powerful location. GM Tools: Combat on the Fly Strategies for improvising combat encounters. Why reskinning monsters keeps players on their toes. Action economy: what it is and how it defines encounter flow. The truth about Challenge Ratings: more suggestion than science. Tools of the trade: stat blocks, encounter tables, and “The Monsters Know What They're Doing.” Practice makes prepared: why experience is the best GM teacher. Key Takeaways: Ysgard is ideal for chaotic good storytelling, player-driven plots, and epic themes. Norse myth is vague, fragmented, and rich with room for creative adaptation. Glorium offers fertile ground for exploration, politics, and conflict. DMs can elevate encounters by preparing loose frameworks and embracing improvisation. Even the most over-the-top topics (Nick Cage included) can lead to real storytelling gold.

Building on last week's discussion about stocks and bonds, Darryl breaks down the key differences between these two types of funds, how they operate, and what investors need to know when deciding between them. Through real-world examples, historical context, and practical insight, Darryl explains why the evolution from mutual funds to ETFs has reshaped modern investing - and why understanding the nuances between them could be critical for your financial future. Key highlights of the episode include: • The origin of mutual funds, their human-driven decision-making, and the potential risks of overconcentration. • Why exchange traded funds (ETFs) offer lower costs, greater accessibility, and often outperform traditional mutual funds. • The behavioral traps of ETFs - including the temptation to panic-sell - and why discipline is key. • The truth about 401(k)s, IRAs, and how they simply serve as “wrappers” for your actual investments. • When actively managed mutual funds may still outperform passive index funds - and where an advisor can add real value. Whether you're debating between mutual funds and ETFs or simply want a better grasp of where your money is invested, this episode provides a thoughtful, accessible guide to making smarter investment choices - with an eye always on the bigger picture.

What is God using to chisel you into the image of Christ? Will you lie still in His hand and let Him do it? For Jeremiah, God was using his ministry partner, Baruch, to chisel and hammer him into shape. Jeremiah, too, was chiseling Baruch. Without the encouragement of the other, neither would have had faith enough to finish when their ministry got difficult. In this message, Jill describes how we can learn to work with and celebrate the differences between us and the people in our lives.

Andrés Gomez Emilsson is the director of the San Francisco–based Qualia Research Institute (QRI), a nonprofit developing formal models of consciousness and emotional valence. QRI's research aims to untangle the harmonic, computational, and symmetry-driven mechanisms underlying phenomenological experience. They approach the optimization of subjective experience through two powerful psychotechnologies — psychedelics and meditation — using them to explore the state-space of mind and map the structure of qualia. In this conversation, we discuss the phenomenology of enlightenment, the non-local field effects of consciousness, and one of Andrés' side projects: how perfumes and smells modulate perception and emotional geometry.

In this episode, Lisa and Ben discuss:The impact of math confidence and mindset on educational and career pathsHow math anxiety can steer students away from valuable opportunitiesThe importance of data literacy and real-world applications of mathStrategies for building confidence and persistence in learning mathKey Takeaways: Developing math confidence hinges more on persistence, curiosity, and the ability to ask questions than on natural speed or accuracy, enabling students to thrive across diverse fields beyond traditional STEM.Concepts like calculus, though often abstract in the classroom, are deeply tied to real-world thinking in areas like economics and business, where understanding small changes leads to big insights.Recognizing the range of math intensity required across different careers—from basic data literacy to complex statistical modeling—helps students avoid limiting their options due to unnecessary fear or avoidance.Students who shift their mindset from avoiding difficulty to embracing challenge build essential problem-solving and resilience skills that serve not only in academics but throughout their careers and lives. “To be able to look at something that you're struggling with and say, 'I am struggling with this, and I know that, and I'm not going to stop until I get it.' It can be a hard mindset switch to make, but it's sort of an all-powerful one.” – Ben OrlinAbout Ben Orlin: Ben Orlin loves math and cannot draw. He is the author of four badly drawn books, including Math with Bad Drawings, which has sold over 100,000 copies worldwide. He has taught middle school, high school, and college math. He lives in the Twin Cities with his wife, their two daughters, and his lifelong fervor for desserts.Episode References:#119 How to Change Your College Major Successfully with Kaci Kortis: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/119#027 Differences between Engineering & Engineering Technology Majors & Jobs: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/027Download a Sample Birkman Report: https://flourishcoachingco.com/birkman Change Is the Only Constant: https://www.amazon.com/Change-Only-Constant-Wisdom-Calculus/dp/0316509086Math for English Majors: https://www.amazon.com/Math-English-Majors-Universal-Language/dp/0762499818Get Lisa's Free on-demand video: How-to guide for your teen to choose the right major, college, & career...(without painting themselves into a corner, missing crucial deadlines, or risking choices you both regret). flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Ben:Instagram: https://instagram.com/mathwithbaddrawingsFacebook: https://facebook.com/mathwithbaddrawingsWebsite: https://mathwithbaddrawings.comConnect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

Today we're talking about something toxic hiding right under your nose… inside the walls in your home, in fact. The nasty pink fiberglass insulation contains formaldehyde and binding agents that release harmful VOCs into your home for years. Those tiny glass fibers can become airborne, causing respiratory issues, skin rashes, and eye irritation. Studies link long-term exposure to fiberglass to serious health conditions. But what if there's a better alternative that's been around for thousands of years? Something that won't harm you, your family, or the planet. A material that naturally regulates moisture, reduces noise, resists fire, and actually helps clean your indoor air. We explore why wool insulation is superior for homes and commercial buildings. Joining us is Andrew W. Legge, founder of Havelock Wool, who's passionate about New Zealand wool and creating positive change in the building industry.   KEY TAKEAWAYS What homeowners must consider when choosing healthy insulation The main different insulation products Common toxic materials found in conventional insulation How insulation materials affect indoor air quality and occupant health The sustainable and non-toxic insulation options available Differences in the installation process with wool Why wool has been growing in popularity as an insulation material How poor air quality can contribute to mental fatigue or other cognitive issues The short-term and long-term benefits of healthier building materials Misconceptions homeowners have about “green” or sustainable materials when it comes to insulation What homeowners or renovators should look for when choosing healthy materials àFriends, to learn more about the incredible benefits of wool insulation, head over to https://havelockwool.com! àAs always, be sure to head to HealthyHomeHacks.com for all of the links and show notes.
