The duo kicks things off with a chilling tale of a Miami woman who lost her nipple to an unlicensed surgeon, leading to a deep dive into the ethics (and absurdities) of medical licensing, libertarian ideals, and Instagram-certified "professionals." Things escalate with another horror story—a fatal butt implant removal done on a kitchen table—then swerve hilariously into the world's first sperm race in LA. The hosts discuss the troubling rise of poly-family reality shows, cat-identifying teachers, and the feminization of society through the lens of parenting, politics, and personal conviction. Raw, hilarious, and at times uncomfortably honest, this episode is a cocktail of satire, truth bombs, and cultural commentary that only May and Tim could deliver.Our Advice!Everything in this podcast is for educational purposes only.

#357: Andy Schoonover on How CrowdHealth Cuts Healthcare Costs with Market Principles

Join the revolution at joincrowdhealth.com with promo code BSFREE for a discount on your first three months.—- 👋Andy Schoonover returns to discuss CrowdHealth’s growth, its focus on reducing healthcare costs through market principles, and its stand against insurance bureaucracy, aiming to empower individuals with better financial and care decisions.Andy’s BioToday's entrepreneur is Andy Schoonover, CEO and founder of CrowdHealth, a company that deploys a crowdfunding model to pay its users' medical bills.After signing up with CrowdHealth, users pay a flat monthly fee of up to $175 for those aged six to 54 (the price is $325 a month for seniors and $225 a month young children); after that, they pay $500 per health event.When a user is going to the doctor, all they have to do is tell the company when they're going and who they're seeing; while wellness checks, such as a primary care physician, OBGYN, or pediatrician, are completely covered without any additional payment required, if the user needs a follow-up with a specialist, such as surgery, the company can negotiate directly with that hospital or provider prior to the operation, and get the price lowered. CrowdHealth will even pay the bill before the patient ever gets to the doctor's office.CrowdHealth, which is currently operating in all 50 states, and can even help people when they're overseas, recently launched with a $6 million round of funding from Next Coast Ventures and Activate Venture Partners.After graduating with a BS in Commerce from the McIntire School at the University of Virginia, Schoonover started his career at Host Marriott Corporation (now Host Hotels & Resorts, NYSE: HST) in the Treasury, Asset Management and Acquisition and Development groups and completed transactions valued at approximately $1.5 billion.He then moved to Silicon Valley to attend Stanford Business School where he got that entrepreneurial itch. As his friends headed off to Google, Facebook, and other high flying tech companies after graduation, Andy and Chris Hendriksen, his business school roommate, founded Blue Canyon Capital which was formed in September of 2006. Blue Canyon Capital then purchased Valued Relationships, Inc (VRI) in Dayton, Ohio. Andy became CEO and served in that role for five years. After a fourfold growth in revenues, the majority of VRI was sold to Pamlico Capital in 2014. VRI investors received a gross return of approximately 9x their investment.Today Schoonover lives in Austin, Texas with his wife Stephanie where they are devoted parents to their daughter Grace’s legacy, younger daughter Ava, and their pup, Butler.Are there any specific questions/talking points you would like to include?: Will email directly to you, so you have the links/news articles.

What starts as a simple awe for air conditioning turns into a wild ride through sweaty stadiums, the fog-filled chaos of a 1975 NHL game, and how one invention made the American South habitable. But it doesn’t stop there—Dr. Tim flips the script on medicine, exposing how our trust in tech and treatments often ignores the ugly truth of second and third-order effects. This one’s got heat, ice, booze, and a whole lot of uncomfortable honesty.Our Advice!Everything in this podcast is for educational purposes only.

#353: The Longevity Lie – Hattie Bryant on Why Living Forever Might Be Killing You

Join the revolution at joincrowdhealth.com with promo code BSFREE for a discount on your first three months.---Ever wonder if the pursuit of eternal youth is actually robbing us of a good death—and maybe even a good life? Healthcare advocate and author Hattie Bryant joins us to challenge the myths of modern medicine’s death-denying culture. From the over-treatment epidemic to the rise of supplement obsession and longevity hype, Hattie brings decades of wisdom and clarity to a conversation too many of us avoid.We dig into why Americans are afraid to die, how our system profits from that fear, and what it really takes to have a life—and death—on your own terms.Main Topics Covered:Why we’re afraid to die and what that’s doing to our health choices The rise of "health perfectionism" and supplement addiction Does longevity = vitality, or just a longer slow death? The truth behind those flashy anti-aging clinical claims How spiritual emptiness fuels the obsession with living forever What living well really looks like, and why it includes dying well Hot Takes:“You’re not extending life; you’re prolonging death.” “We used to die of pneumonia. Now we die of protocols.” “Fifty years ago, we planned our estate. Now we plan to upload our consciousness.” A Better Path:Instead of trying to hack death, what if we focused on hacking life—with clarity, purpose, and soul-centered health choices?Closing Advice:Let’s stop fearing death and start fearing regret. Choose how you want to live—and how you want to leave. This episode isn’t about fear. It’s about freedom. Bio!Hattie Bryant has made a living since 1979 in adult education, public speaking, seminar and continuing education curriculum development, and television production for PBS stations. At the age of 27, while working as a public relations specialist for the University of North Texas, she decided she should either sell something or own something.After two years of research, she incorporated a business, Leadership Development Corporation, and while developing her own materials, she worked through a leading franchisor of business education materials. In that group she was among its top ten performers out of hundreds.For the next fifteen years, she taught management, sales and customer service in the classrooms of hundreds of small businesses and from the convention platform. She presented seminars in 47 states and produced teaching materials for customers like ABC and Frito-Lay.In 1993 Hattie began working with her husband, Bruce Camber, to bring the “best practices” of small business owners to public television, and since 1994 they have created more 300 half-hour episodes of Small business School featuring small business owners in 34 states and 150 cities. With sponsorship from IBM, the United States Postal Service, Verizon, Qwest, Travelers, Dun & Bradstreet, AT&T, MassMutual and Microsoft, Small Business School reached into millions of US homes via some 300 PBS member stations and around the world via the USA’s Voice of America.Hattie is the author of the book, Beating the Odds and in 1997 was given the Award of Excellence from the White House for her success in bringing the story of small business to television.Content from the show was edited into video companions for fifty college textbooks and an online one-of-a-kind learning tool can be found at SmallBusinessSchool.org.Hattie is a born-in-1950 Baby Boomer and in 2011 decided to take on the problem of death in America. Her book, I’ll Have It My Way, teaches how to think about, talk about and plan to live fully all the way to the end. In February 2019 the bible study on this topic I’ll Have It God’s Way launched into churches.Our Advice!Everything in this podcast is for educational purposes only.
