What We’re Carrying: Parenting, Business, and Medicare with Brian McArthur

Running a business. Parenting teenagers. Caring for clients. Trying to stay healthy and present through all of it.In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and colleague Brian McArthur, owner of Design My Medicare, for a conversation that starts with Medicare and turns into something much bigger.We talk about what it means to carry a lot at once in this season of life—raising teenagers, coming off a stressful work season, thinking about health and aging, and trying to be intentional about how we show up for the people who need us.We also get into some important Medicare conversation, including:why the Medicare enrollment season is so intensethe difference between Medicare Supplement and Medicare Advantage planswhy neither option is the “villain”how our different business models shape the clients we serveand why Medicare can still be good news, even when the system feels complicatedThis one is part personal reflection, part business conversation, and part practical Medicare education.If you’re parenting teens, building something, feeling the weight of midlife, or trying to make sense of Medicare for yourself or someone you love, I think you’ll find something here.
