This episode of the #RockstarsRocking podcast features my rockstar friend and broker client partner, Bret Brummitt, Founder, Generous Benefits, out of the Coppell, Texas area.
I was fortunate enough to meet Bret a few years ago and because we’re both huge baseball fans and avid car lovers – we hit it off immediately.
Bret describes himself as being lucky to have been born with a passion for problem-solving. He says that the question of “what if…?” is powerful and exactly what drives him. He says that he’s not usually the first to speak but is a voice with well-chosen words designed to uncover a better strategy for his clients. Bret has the unique ability to be a very calming force in the chaos and fast-paced evolution of Health Insurance, Employee Benefits, and the growing burden of regulatory compliance. When clients work with Bret, they develop the confidence to see beyond the problem at hand and start to re-imagine their goals. He believes deeply that whether with a client or a colleague, a successful interaction is one that allows everyone to dream a little bigger when they are done.
In this week’s episode, Bret and I begin by discussing how he was originally looking to be in law enforcement or the ministry and why that didn’t happen. We get into how the name and formation of his company, ‘Generous Benefits’ came about and how he manages his virtual team. We even answer some tough questions, like how COVID19 will or will not have a significant impact on an employer’s healthcare claims experience – as well as many more questions that revolve around the times we’re all living through, today.
