Healthcare costs continue to rise, employees have fewer choices than ever, and many employers are stuck navigating a system that feels increasingly unsustainable.

In this episode of Liftoff, Keith Newman sits down with Brandy Thompson, Founder & CEO of BenefitBay, to discuss the future of healthcare benefits, employee choice, leadership, entrepreneurship, and building a fast-growing company in one of the most complex industries in America.

Brandy shares why she believes employees should have greater control over their healthcare decisions, how transparency can improve outcomes, and why the future of benefits may look very different than today's one-size-fits-all model.

The conversation also explores founder lessons, leadership, raising six children while building a career, and what it takes to lead through growth and change.
