Justin Jasniewski, CEO of Serve You Rx, breaks down one of healthcare’s murkiest corners—pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). In this episode, he exposes how PBMs sit at the crossroads of drug manufacturers, employers, and pharmacies—often inflating costs instead of controlling them. With plain talk and sharp insights, Justin walks through how the system evolved from a simple IT add-on to a high-stakes financial engine that can either serve or exploit employers.
He highlights the fiduciary responsibilities employers often overlook and the lawsuits now surfacing when health plan mismanagement drains employee benefits. Justin stresses the importance of understanding what your PBM is really doing with your money and lays out how transparency and better contracts can unlock serious cost savings—sometimes enough to fund new hires or expansion without touching top-line revenue.
This episode is a wake-up call for business leaders: your PBM could be silently bleeding your budget. The good news? You can fix it—and Justin shows you how.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
