045 - Rural Health Transformation Program Part 1

There’s a recurring theme in every episode we do about healthcare, and it goes something like this: This stuff’s really complicated. (Listen, we didn’t say it was an earth-shattering theme). Anyhoo, the recently created Rural Healthcare Transformation Program is no different. In fact, there are so many moving parts, we had to break this episode into two episodes. Shareholder and CPA Kelly Klein — longtime pod listener, first-time guest — explains how the program came to be, how the funds are being distributed, and what rural healthcare facilities need to know. Whether you’re part of a rural healthcare facility, receive care from one, or like to keep up on the ever-shifting healthcare landscape, there’s something for you. Listen in to learn more!

043 - How to Avoid Lifestyle Creep

Although “financial lifestyle creep” might sound like a lost verse to a Radiohead hit, that’s not actually what we’re talking about on this episode. Shareholder and CPA, Kayce Gerlach, and senior associate and CPA, Shay Casey, offer some solid, not-preachy advice about how to avoid the trap of spending more just because you make more. They talk about how lifestyle creep happens, how to spot it, how to decide what things you should spend money on, and why a Walmart Plus subscription is totally worth it (we’re not even sponsored!) Even if you’re not a creep or a weirdo, this episode’s packed with good ideas and insights. So, listen in to learn more!

039 - Jenny Schmidt from Black Hills Advocate and @our605life

We don’t usually get famous people on the pod (OK, we never get famous people on the pod, even if all of our guests are stars to us), so this episode’s extra exciting.

But for this episode, Jenny talked about her day job doing incredibly important work through Black Hills Advocate, an organization dedicated to helping people navigate our increasingly complicated healthcare system. Jenny talks about what drove her to create Black Hills Advocate, the challenges of starting her own business, and what she wishes those in healthcare could do a little differently to help patients.
