Welcome to Impact Healthcare, where we lead the charge in the health benefits industry with bold ideas and game-changing strategies! In our latest episode, join Lester J. Morales as he engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Chris Wolpert, CEO of Group Benefit Solutions (GBS) and a finalist for the 2024 Advisor of the Year. Dive into a story-driven conversation that unveils the journeys of two industry disruptors swimming upstream in the complex world of healthcare benefits! 

Chris's journey started when he was a financial advisor, and he became even more determined to modernize healthcare after the Affordable Care Act passed in 2010. With GBS, Chris hopes to empower clients, eliminate out-of-pocket expenses, and guide employees to the best care possible. His decision to start from scratch, walking away from a lucrative business, was a bold move — an "all-in" bet on himself and his mission. His goal wasn't just to sell insurance; it was to educate and empower clients, to put them back at the center of the conversation. 

Lester and Chris use storytelling techniques to provide insights into the complexities of healthcare benefits and the challenges employers face when navigating the healthcare landscape. They offer a unique perspective on the healthcare benefits sector, highlighting the importance of determination, innovation, and pursuing a better future for all.
