"There can be a better path forward. We don't have to remain adherent to the system that is built against us. It's just going to take some rolling up of the sleeves and a commitment to it." - Shawn Sanford
This week, another ParetoHealth colleague joins the show: Shawn Sanford, RVP of Sales and Pod Leader.
Shawn and I discussed his transition from pro baseball to ancillary benefit sales to Pareto, and what he learned from each step along the way.
We also discuss some of the biggest problems in this industry and why they excite Shawn so much, and what he sees as the single biggest case of “highway robbery” in healthcare.
Join us this week on Self-Funded as we discuss the opportunity we have to fix healthcare.
