Leadership isn’t knowing all the answers. It’s about acting boldly when the path is unclear. Leadership isn’t about avoiding failure. It’s about owning the consequences of your decisions. Leadership isn’t about your title or authority. It’s about inspiring others to believe in your vision. Leadership is a skill you practice, not a role bestowed upon you.

Success comes from iteration. Iteration is just a fancy word for failing repeatedly. But most of us grow uncomfortable and beat ourselves up when we fail. Reframe failure and you maximize learning while minimizing self-loathing. Life is a game you get to play again every day. It’s not a loss if you learn and try again.

Dreams are built on discipline. Discipline is built on habits. Habits are built on training. Training takes place in every second of every day. There is no separating "training" from "real life." How you do one thing is how you do everything. This means everything in your life (how you handle frustration, whether you cut corners, how you wash the dishes, etc.) are the foundation of everything you want to build. When you come from this perspective, your daily struggles are opportunities, not obstacles. They are the stepping stones towards your dreams.

@DrDiGiorgio Absolutely not. This is a bank account, that is user funded. If the taxpayer is going to support anything they can guarantee the amount borrowed and /or the stop loss coverage

Directionally I think this is a good start. The basics of everyone gets access to HSA + a stop loss on approved medical expenses to handle catastrophe. I think we will still want need some kind of help for those who can’t afford the premiums. Maybe income based deposits into this hsa account for those that need it? Maybe a way to work off medical debt / earn hsa credit via volunteering or community engagement helping care for others?

What if there was a bank account available, that required you to deposit monthly, what you would have paid an insurance company in premiums, for an ACA silver plan. So for a family of 5 about $2100. The amount would then be used for Stop Loss Insurance set at $30k dollars. About $300. Another $200 would be used for local Direct Primary Care for your family The balance would be in YOUR bank account. Like an HSA, It could only be used for approved medical expenses. If you never have any medical expenses, you will get to keep the money plus checking act level interest, when you turn 65 If you have a medical event that is more than what you have saved, your bank will loan you the money you need to pay for it, up to the $30k stop loss trigger You would repay that amount using the monthly $1600 net deposit. Once the loan is paid off, the deposits start to accrue to you again. This is not insurance. It’s a specially designed bank account that gives you control, support, a doctor to work with and catastrophic financial protection. Lots of work and issues to be addressed. But I was curious what people think Let me know !

The one debt you can’t ever pay off ? Your insurance premiums. You literally will pay an insurance premium monthly, till you die. But we don’t look at it like it’s a debt paid to an insurance company that will do all it possibly can never spend it on your care. We are working on a non -insurance solution. The day HSAs no longer require an insurance policy, it all will change. finance.yahoo.com/sectors/health…

I signed up to build homes in Mexico, but he biggest thing that changed was me. Gratitude replaced complaints. Perspective replaced routine. Action replaced restlessness. You don’t need experience to make a difference. You just need to show up. ❤️ justingarydesign.substack.com/p/change-lives…

@TheZvi Or use a vpn to search from a lower income region and get even better pricing.

No no no, you see, prices are efficient so this means the price went down because you only searched for it once or knew to use an incognito window and your phone is fully charged. Don't get mad, get smarter!
Mallory McMorrow@MalloryMcMorrow

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying. This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you. In the US Senate, I’ve got a plan to ban it.
