"If you're an employer, if someone comes up and knocks on your door, take a second, breathe, and listen to what they have to say." - Christopher CordonChristopher Cordon joined me this week to talk about something that may initially seem contradictory to what I typically preach: level-funding. Chris shares why worksite benefits sales for employers with under 50 employees led him to level-funding as a solution, and why he's so passionate about serving that under-served market.  Chris has a background as an actor, and we also discussed how that has helped him in sales and in the entrepreneurial world, as well as in his recent LinkedIn content. Chris is a passionate guy who genuinely wants to make insurance affordable and easy for small employers, and I hope you'll tune in to hear just how he does that. Chapters:00:00:00 Health Insurance Benefits With Less Than 50 Employees | with Christopher Cordon00:08:37 Chris's Career Path00:23:56 Learning How To Navigate Sales00:33:45 Why Large Employers Are Almost All Self-Funded00:44:33 The Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness of Direct Primary Care00:48:21 Why Chris Has Embraced Level-Funding00:52:59 Simplifying Self-Insurance01:01:51 How Do We Make Healthcare Sustainable?01:10:27 AI's Impact on Healthcare CostsKey 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/Key Words: Direct Primary Care, DPC, Level Funded, Level Funding, Employer Solutions, Healthcare Consulting,  Insurance Business, AI in Healthcare, entrepreneurship, christopher cordon, spencer smith, podcast, healthcare, health insurance, self funded, self funding, self funded health insurance, self funded insurance#DirectPrimaryCare #DPC #LevelFunded #LevelFunding #EmployerSolutions  #HealthcareConsulting  #InsuranceBusiness #AIinHealthcare #entrepreneurship #christophercordon #spencersmith #podcast #healthcare #healthinsurance #selffunded #selffunding #selffundedhealthinsurance #selffundedinsurance

https://blog.thesaleswhisperer.com/p/p/angela-duncan-empower-your-money In this conversation, Wes and Angela Duncan discuss various topics related to real estate investing and entrepreneurship.  Angela shares her experience in the real estate industry, including owning a successful Remax office and selling over $2 billion in real estate.  She also talks about her transition from real estate to starting an insurance company and eventually pivoting back to real estate investing.  Angela provides insights into the current real estate market and emphasizes the importance of understanding different investment strategies, such as tax lien investing.  Additionally, she discusses the benefits of becoming a bestselling author and offers advice for individuals looking to grow their businesses or make a career change.  In this conversation, Wes and Angela discuss various ways to gain knowledge and mentorship without spending money. They also talk about the value of charging for your unique perspective and approach, even if information is available for free.  Angela shares her plans to reach a broader audience through speaking engagements and podcasts, and offers tips for speaking for organizations with limited budgets. They also discuss the importance of educating people about alternative investment opportunities, such as real estate and tax lien investing. Angela emphasizes the need for simplicity and action when it comes to managing money. Takeaways Real estate is always a good investment, but it's crucial to do thorough research and understand the market before jumping in. When transitioning to a new career or starting a new business, it's important to take time to heal and find your identity. Identify your strengths and weaknesses and focus on what you're good at. Don't be afraid to hire others to handle tasks that are not your strengths. Tax lien investing can be a lucrative investment strategy, but it requires knowledge of the process and understanding the rules in different states. Invest in your own education by seeking out mentors, absorbing educational content, and investing time in learning and growing your skills. Consider bartering or trading services with mentors or experts in your field if you can't afford to hire them. Having a book can provide credibility and open doors for speaking engagements and other opportunities. Prioritize self-education over excessive consumption of non-educational content like TV shows and movies. There are various ways to gain knowledge and mentorship without spending money, such as bartering and accessing free online resources. Charging for your unique perspective and approach is justified, even if information is available for free. Speaking engagements and podcasts can be effective ways to reach a broader audience and establish credibility. When speaking for organizations with limited budgets, consider alternative forms of compensation, such as books or access to a database. Educating people about alternative investment opportunities, such as real estate and tax lien investing, can help them achieve higher returns. Simplicity and action are key when it comes to managing money.

Rusty Reid was named president and CEO of Higginbotham in 1989 at the age of 27. At that time, he implemented the firm's defining “single source” service model whereby customers can obtain all their insurance and financial services under one roof.

En el episodio n.º 50 de TODO COMENZÓ AYER, el podcast divulgativo de la Asociación Española de Historia Económica, entrevistamos a Margarita Vilar y Jerònia Pons autoras, junto a Paloma Fernández, de la obra Mutual Médica. Cien años de un proyecto de futuro (2023). En este libro las autoras realizan un estudio pormenorizado de la historia empresarial de una entidad, Mutual Médica, con motivo del cumplimiento de su centenario en el año 2020. El acceso a los archivos históricos de la entidad y a testimonios de primera mano les ha permitido reconstruir la biografía de la mutualidad de previsión social desde dentro de la institución. Con todo, esta obra trasciende la historia de Mutual Médica, la cual sirve de hilo conductor en la narración, para ofrecer una descripción muy detallada de la situación en la que se encontraba el sector desde finales del siglo XIX hasta la actualidad, así como las diversas circunstancias políticas y cambios institucionales a las que tuvo que sobreponerse durante su larga trayectoria vital. A lo largo de los distintos capítulos que estructuran los ciclos de vida de la mutualidad, las autoras interseccionan la perspectiva de la mutualidad con el punto de vista coral de médicos, asociados, pacientes, instituciones públicas y otras privadas que permite al lector comprender tanto las vicisitudes del sector de las sociedades de previsión social como las particularidades que diferencian a Mutual Médica. Margarita Vilar Rodríguez es Profesora Titular de Universidad en la Facultad de Economía y Empresa de la Universidad de A Coruña. Doctora en Economía por la Universidad de Barcelona. Ha editado con Martin Gorsky y Jerònia Pons el libro The Political Economy of the Hospital in History (Huddersfield Press, 2020) y con Jerònia Pons, Un siglo de hospitales entre lo público y lo privado (1886-1986) [Financiación, gestión y construcción del sistema hospitalario español] (Marcial Pons, 2018). Es autora con Jerònia Pons del libro El Seguro de Salud Privado y Público en España: Su análisis en perspectiva histórica (1880-2010) (PUZ, 2014), Premio Jaume Vicens Vives 2015 al mejor libro de Historia Económica de España y América Latina. Ha publicado números trabajos en revistas nacionales e internacionales y liderado proyectos competitivos públicos y privados de investigación sobre historia de los seguros sociales y, especialmente, el seguro de salud y la configuración del sistema hospitalario público y privado en España en perspectiva comparada. Jerònia Pons-Pons es catedrática de Historia e Instituciones Económicas en la Universidad de Sevilla. Su investigación se ha centrado en la historia económica del seguro tanto en su faceta de negocio privado como en los seguros sociales y el desarrollo de Estado de Bienestar en España. Ha editado con M. Ángeles Pons, Investigaciones Históricas sobre el Seguro Español (Fundación Mapfre, 2010), junto con Robin Pearson de Risk and The Insurance Business in History (Fundación Mapfre, 2020) y con Martin Gorsky y Margarita Vilar-Rodríguez de The Political Economy of the Hospital in History (University of Huddersfield, 2020). Ha publicado en revistas nacionales e internacionales y liderado proyectos competitivos públicos y privados de investigación sobre historia de los seguros sociales y, especialmente, el seguro de salud y la configuración del sistema hospitalario público y privado en España en perspectiva comparada. Ambas son investigadoras principales del Proyecto de Investigación titulado "El desarrollo histórico de las empresas hospitalarias del sector privado en competencia y colaboración con el sector público: España en perspectiva internacional (1920-2020)".
