  • Has potential but needs work

    Robert reads his answers in a bit robotic cadence. Also Robert needs to stop pushing vaccines left and right.

  • Tough Listen

    While the content and guests can be interesting and informative, the (very) obvious scripting of the interactions (and poor presentation) is an auditory nightmare. Try a natural conversation with talking points.

    Also, for the sake of all of us, Robert Pearl does not have to refer to “Jeremy” with the beginning of each thought. It’s just the two of them talking, he doesn’t have to remind us who that one person is in. Every. Single. Sentence.

  • Too scripted

    This is painful to listen to, they sound so scripted! It doesn’t sound like a real conversation. Also it wouldn’t hurt them to find women to be on the show!

  • Fools Erand

    Interesting discussions of the current problems with the USA healthcare system. However, as a retired physician with 30 years experience, I don’t believe there is a solution. There are too many stakeholders with their own self serving agendas. Any attempts will be sabotaged.

Q: What are your thoughts around these costs preventing people from becoming entrepreneurs, and do you have any ideas for innovation and health insurance for those who are self-employed or small businesses?
It's a real challenge for small companies, and right now, there's not a great solution... I would probably try to go to a reinsurance company, and say that I want to get reinsurance for $75,000, and offer a program to all of our content creators.
