Sims Tillirson is a well-known personality from LinkedIn and I’m super excited to sit down with him again to catch up. You may know him from his skits he posts, the songs he sings, his raw and open presentation of himself, but I sit down and get a few layers deeper on this episode. We both share an affinity for Nike’s in the workplace so we dive into that topic to get the engines running before pivoting to a lengthy conversation about employee benefits. How do you get the most from your broker relationships? How can you drive down costs while maintaining a high level of benefits for your employees? Are there new legislations or compliance issues I have to be aware of regarding how we provide benefits? All these questions are answered before we finish up talking about wellbeing…most notably ours.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
