"The Insurance Blindspot" - with Grace Gosnell, Co-Founder of Scoop Health

The leaders who know about this are saving 30-50% on healthcare. The ones who don't are still writing the same painful checks every year. Grace Gosnell, Co-Founder of Scoop Health, reveals the legal alternative that's being called "the 401k moment for healthcare."===========CEO Blindspots® Podcast Guest: ⁠⁠Grace GosnellAs Co-Founder of Scoop Health, Grace has been at the forefront of a quiet revolution, helping employers of all sizes break free from the crushing cost of traditional group health insurance and replace it with a smarter, more affordable, and more employee-friendly alternative. Since 2020, Scoop Health has been giving employees access to benefits that rival those of Fortune 500 companies, at a price that small and mid-sized businesses can actually afford — saving employers 30-50% compared to traditional health insurance.A founding affiliate of the Health Access Cooperative — a nationwide organization representing over 500 active employers — Grace is not just building a company, she is helping shape an entirely new category of healthcare benefits that industry insiders are already calling "the 401k moment for healthcare."Described by those who know her best as "a caring and strategic change leader," Grace brings a rare combination of visionary thinking and boots-on-the-ground tenacity to everything she does. Raised by an entrepreneur father who pulled her out of school to watch legislation being passed in Austin, Grace developed her instinct for innovation, leadership, and systemic change early.A mentor at the University of Houston Center for Entrepreneurship, Grace is as committed to developing the next generation of leaders as she is to disrupting the status quo in healthcare.
