Paul H. Flowers Jr. was in a room when he saw it happen. A national carrier rep going through a book of business, deciding who gets hit with a 26% rate increase based on how well their company performed financially. Not based on health. Not based on claims. Based on what the company could absorb. That was the moment everything changed. Now Paul is on a mission to put $10 billion back into the hands of small and mid sized businesses, and the employees who deserve better. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly entrepreneur interviews and real business strategies. 0:00 - Introduction at the Ascend Conference in Utah 2:00 - What's wrong with employer health plans in America 5:00 - How Paul went from confused consumer to top closing health insurance rep 9:00 - The room where nobody talked about health, only profits 14:00 - Why Paul left and launched Superior Insurance Advisors 17:00 - The difference between a broker and an advisor 20:00 - What employers should be asking but never do 24:00 - The $10 billion vision: putting money back in employees' pockets 28:00 - The nonprofit, the three bestselling books, and what's coming next 32:00 - Final words: healthcare heroes and the change that's already coming #VisionProsLive #HealthcareReform #PaulHFlowersJr #EmployeeBenefits #HealthInsurance #BusinessLeadership #SuperiorInsuranceAdvisors #EmployerHealthPlans #HealthcareAdvocacy #JavankaMcGee
