We Tried Nothing and We’re All Out of Ideas - But Hey, At Least HR Still Has Bagels

Let’s be honest—setting goals is easy. Achieving them? That’s where CFOs start twitching and HR hides under their desks.

In this episode, we get a masterclass in corporate reality checks. Think you're overworked? Imagine trying to hit business goals while your benefits plan is hemorrhaging money like a rookie finance intern let loose in Excel.

Butch Zemar breaks down the art of not giving up too early—unless, of course, you enjoy 54% renewal increases and the warm, fuzzy feeling of budget panic. He uses stories from his own journey—complete with dreams of becoming an astronaut and disappointing DIY projects—to prove that brute force and wishful thinking don’t belong in your benefits strategy.

Now, if your current broker is telling you “it’s just the market,” you might want to get that second opinion before your healthcare plan starts moonlighting as a financial sinkhole. Zemar shares how one company saved $400,000 by switching funding models—yes, real money, not Monopoly cash—and another that avoided a catastrophic increase by actually using strategy (shocking, we know). The takeaway? Stop throwing darts at your health insurance plan blindfolded. There’s a better way—and no, it doesn’t involve spreadsheets soaked in tears.
