Introducing The Pilot

Dear Friends,

On October 30, I spoke at the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses convening in Detroit. I called the idea, the Pilot.

The goal is to bring business owners, healthcare professionals, and coaches together to explore better ways to improve health while reducing the rising costs of healthcare and health insurance.

The idea is simple. Keep the health coverage you have. Add better data, a second look from doctors and coaches, and real options beyond conventional care alone. Together, we can explore approaches that help people get healthier while identifying opportunities to make healthcare more affordable, then we measure what actually works.

I would like you to be part of the next conversation. It's a short discussion with plenty of time for Q&A.

The November Pilot Meetup

Wednesday, November 18, 2026
Noon to 1:20 p.m. ET, on Zoom

Owners bring the business view. Doctors and coaches bring the care view. Together we map a first step.

You can watch the talk and reserve a seat here:
