50 Questions to ask your spouse I’m passionate about the intersection of entrepreneurship and marriage. Entrepreneurship is lonely when things aren’t good at home.

@benwehrman @wirbeideneulich A basketball nearby can look larger than a mountain far away

@andyjschoonover @wirbeideneulich Also, think about how enormous of a coincidence it is that the Sun and Moon are the EXACT same size in the sky from our perspective. Sun is supposedly EXACTLY 400x larger and 400x further away. Cosmic fluke...or simply a lie, and they are the same size? x.com/benwehrman/sta…

Firsthand photograph of our local sun from a plane, captured by @wirbeideneulich 📸 If you think that thing is 93 million miles away, please go throw away your television immediately, it has rotted your brain and senses.

@benwehrman @wirbeideneulich Atmospheric refraction

@andyjschoonover @wirbeideneulich So many examples where people have seen the horizon line past the sun. Why? And does it really make sense that we can easily zoom into something that it 93 MILLION miles away with a camera from Amazon? x.com/benwehrman/sta… x.com/benwehrman/sta… x.com/benwehrman/sta… .

@SBakerMD Dropped 20lbs and have been able to keep it off

Did you get fatter or leaner?

@SahilBloom I went to arguably the best business school on the planet. Smartest people around. The vast majority of my classmates are so afraid to fail they go into banking, consulting, PE. Basically make as much money as possible off the status quo.

Life advice nobody told you: Talent and intelligence are overrated. Intelligent people are more likely to overthink, overplan, and overanalyze. They hide behind motion that doesn't create progress. They fear the judgment of others if they're proven wrong. The truth is that talent and intelligence are abundant. Courage is not. The people you admire are the ones who had the courage to act. They aren’t more talented than you. They aren’t smarter than you. They just took action when you didn’t. I often wonder how many extraordinary people wasted their entire lives waiting for permission that never came. Permission isn't granted. It's taken. You get to tap yourself in whenever you want. You can just do things.

I shared this with my wife. Her response: “If you are getting such good results, and people are saving so much money, why do you get so much hate?” Me: “The people we are fighting for and are saving the money, love us. It’s the people in power that hate us.”

The unfortunate part is that people don't think it will be a "freakin nightmare" until it's a "freakin nightmare." Why not hop over to something way better before you live the "freakin nightmare?"

@VincentSco72192 That’s what happens when government can’t control spending and pumps $5T into the economy over the last 6 years. The rich get richer and the poor and middle class are stuck with paying more everything

Its Amazing, how in the United States in 2025 someone could’ve earned 65k in a year and have nothing left at the end Cost of living and everything else Just gone. Nothing left. I remember when that amount used to be middle class for a single earner in 2010. Now? That’s what it actually costs to just live nowadays.

@RynShell @operationdanish It's not free. You pay it in taxes. You just don't see the cost.

@andyjschoonover @operationdanish Healthcare should never cost that much. I would get that free in Australia.

Why Urgent Cares are bad for your health (and healthcare). A funny thing happened over the last decade. We started building urgent care centers on every corner and told ourselves this meant healthcare had become more accessible. But if you look a little closer, it starts to feel like the opposite. Urgent care works the way a convenience store works. It’s there when you need something quickly. It solves the immediate problem. But no one would argue that a convenience store is a substitute for a real food system. It’s what shows up when the real thing isn’t doing its job. Primary care used to be the place where someone actually knew you. Not just your chart, but your patterns. The way your blood pressure creeps up when you’re stressed. The fact that your “sinus infections” always come back in the winter. The small things that only matter because they repeat. Urgent care can’t see any of that. It drops into your life for a single moment, makes a decision with incomplete context, and disappears. Then it happens again, somewhere else, with someone new. Over time, you end up with a pile of disconnected decisions instead of a coherent plan. And that’s the part no one talks about. The system feels faster, but it’s also thinner. More touchpoints, less understanding. So the spread of urgent care isn’t really progress. It’s what fills the vacuum when primary care stops being available, or stops being enough. The question isn’t why urgent care is everywhere. It’s why it had to be.

@AlexDVoss @operationdanish All good. Getting old, stress plus too much caffeine (most likely) was the culprit.

@andyjschoonover @operationdanish Woah brother. Take care of yourself

I could feel it. I knew that if I went to urgent care and they thought it was a major problem they would send me to the ER. The doctor at urgent said it (PVC) was totally normal. Followed up with a cardiologist ($175) who put me on a heart tracker for a few days (I think it was $200). Totally fine. All in under $1000. ER is way overused.

@andyjschoonover @operationdanish Idk how you knew you had an arrhythmia, maybe your watch? I’d certainly go to the emergency room for that problem. But I get your point, and probably for an urgent ( not emergent) problem off hrs it’s a good alternative. I’d recommend you follow up with your primary afterward.

@JTLonsdale I quit flying airplanes (general aviation) once I had kids. Not as bad as motorcycles, but almost.

Riding motorcycles is very dangerous. It’s especially not cool if you have young kids, or others who rely on you. Such as our civilization, if you’re a great man. Stop doing it.

@NewOrderGoy @JoinCrowdHealth Bro, it said in the article that there was no cure. That was the whole point of the question our account asked.

@andyjschoonover @JoinCrowdHealth Good watch. That’s terrible what you and your wife went through, and again, you have my sympathy, but in the video your wife said there was no cure or treatment. Your original reply didn’t convey that.

Insurance companies need to be exorcised. Only creatures from hell would deny a person life-saving treatment.

@NewOrderGoy @JoinCrowdHealth I’m anti life LMAO youtu.be/Ho-Jb0MngX8?si…

@JoinCrowdHealth Your CEO has my sympathy for his deceased daughter. I will say a prayer for her soul. That being said, this was also a poor response and conveys a deeply anti-life attitude. Frankly it’s disturbing. I hope Christians, and Catholics especially, exercise caution with your company.

@Danielton74925 @ChristianPunsOG @JoinCrowdHealth This is pretty rare. Only for some specialties (neurology for example). You know where there are significant wait times??? Medicaid…which is run by the government

@andyjschoonover @ChristianPunsOG @JoinCrowdHealth Hah, not true at all. People have long wait times here in the US. The "benefits" of our current system that you describe only apply to a handful of hospitals that cater to the rich. Most people have to suffer through long wait times and surprise bills.

The American medical system bankrupts many families and insurance is awful. You HAVE to look at @JoinCrowdHealth our sponsor! They are an alternative to health insurance that eliminates the middleman which saves you lots of money. They have saved my family THOUSANDS already!

I'm not sure what you mean by "create the problem." Maybe its that we think that the government (left and right) IS the problem and that its way of handling these issues only create more problems. Universal healthcare has its own set of problems. So yes, our healthcare system is expensive, but you can (generally) get in and see a doctor quickly, and the quality is high. If you want to resolve a complex issue, you come to the US. Arab royal families have entire floors of elite hospitals rented out just so they can get treatment here.

@andyjschoonover @ChristianPunsOG @JoinCrowdHealth I'm calling out the hypocrisy of "create the problem, sell the solution" thing that Evangelical Christians do.

@Danielton74925 @ChristianPunsOG @JoinCrowdHealth You answered a question with a question.

@andyjschoonover @ChristianPunsOG @JoinCrowdHealth Where exactly does the Bible say you shall fight tooth and nail to keep a broken system that no other developed nation has anymore so venture capitalists can profit off of the sick and injured in God's name?

@Danielton74925 @ChristianPunsOG @JoinCrowdHealth Where exactly does the Bible say the government should take care of people’s healthcare?

@ChristianPunsOG @JoinCrowdHealth Funny how it's mainly Evangelical Christians who fight tooth and nail against universal healthcare, the system every other developed country has, which would actually solve our problems.

@D_OG280 @SantaCarotaBeef Let us know how it tastes!!

Thanks @andyjschoonover and @SantaCarotaBeef

I’m blown away! I joined @JoinCrowdHealth a yr ago, I’ve saved 10’s of thousands of dollars, got numerous discounts and generally feel great about where my💰goes Today I get this in the mail because a family ranch was in hard times and the CEO wanted to support them w/a giveaway
