Creative business solutions, a podcast with Shane Foss. Meet the needs of an otherwise untapped market through creative business solutions.

Creative business solutions\xa0have the potential to create new opportunities and even disrupt entire industries. Our guest, Shane Foss, has used this for the healthcare insurance industry because he believes this is what it needs.

With over 20 years of tenure as an executive in the medical industry, Shane Foss became frustrated with how under-served Americans were with the current healthcare options. He set out to make a change and in 2018 achieved this goal through launching Hooray Health, an unconventional health insurance company dedicated to providing affordable basic and urgent health care alternatives to high-deductible health plans.

Through Hooray Health, Foss and his team focus on offering peace of mind to lower-income individuals and families who face medical challenges, while also providing business owners with an affordable way to reward and retain employees. Partnering with companies like Sedera, Ameritas, and Aflac, they have been able to add critical services and supplemental plans giving immense value to employers and individuals.

Throughout his professional experience, Foss has negotiated complex, multi-million-dollar contracts, worked in device sales management, created business strategies, implemented creative business solutions, and optimized P&L. He holds an MBA from Rice University\u2019s Jones School of Business, a BS from the University of the Incarnate Word, and a Surgical Technologist Certificate from the United States Air Force.
