The reason you might not be enjoying your job

Do you ever feel like you are just going through the motions at your job? You have a great career but at the end of the day, it's not fulfilling you.

I'll admit for the first 15 years of my insurance career, that was exactly me. My passion had always been taking things apart and putting them back together, better. But it felt like the only time I experienced that was when I was remodeling homes for a living. That was before I "fell" into insurance.

Then I had a lightbulb moment a few years ago when I noticed I was enjoying insurance a little too much. And it was because I found my passion of remodeling again, this time on health insurance plans.

My name is Mike Krupa former home remodeler turned actuary turned benefits advisor and creator of remodel health plans and today I wanted to give a little bit of insight into why I created the remodel Health Plans program for me it starts with passion and my passion in any job I've ever had is taken things apart understanding why they're not working and then putting them back together but better it's why remodeling homes has always been such a passion of mine but about 20 years ago I fell into the insurance world because I had majored in Actuarial science and I found myself knee-deep in health insurance in every year I continued to get frustrated because I didn't understand why Healthcare Trend was so much higher than any other industry in the employers I was working with only ever saw their health insurance spend go up and because the solutions I was implementing for them to manage their costs we're not having any material impact I didn't even enjoy my job for like the first 15 years of my career but that changed for me a few years ago when I started to understand how the flawed and Senate structure within our current health care system is what was driving costs to go up every single year and then suddenly it all clicked my eyes were now open to the fixes that were necessary to combat this incentive structure and in fact the fixes were actually already out there and then my clients started implementing these fixes and we started seeing results and for the first time in my insurance career I actually started enjoying insurance I get it said no one ever but I actually did start enjoying insurance and I realized it was because I was exercising my passion for remodeling once again this time a little bit different with health plans I finally understood why things weren't working as I was taking them apart and then I was putting them back together better and that's when remodel health plans was born and now using the same principles I learned when remodeling a home I'm teaching employers how to remodel their own health plans the best part is I'm actually enjoying doing it and I would love to show you how to do it too.

About the Author

Mike Kroupa, Self-Funding Insurance Expert

I grew up in a house that was constantly under construction and the experience helped me uncover one of my passions, remodeling. After running a successful remodeling business with my brother during college, I decided I wanted to keep this as a hobby. Instead, I took my advisor’s recommendation and started down the actuarial path, which ultimately led me to insurance.

Since then, I have focused my career teaching employers how to better manage their health insurance plans. I found myself frustrated year after year of doing the same thing because it didn’t feel like I was making an impact. Healthcare costs were continuing to increase, and it felt like the only options employers were left with was increasing deductibles, increasing contributions, and switching carriers.

There was a turning point for me in 2020 as I found Health Rosetta, an ecosystem for scaling adoption of practical fixes to our health care system. As my clients started adopting these fixes, I found myself getting passionate about what I was doing for the first time. Then I realized my hobby of remodeling was driving the passion because I was remodeling health plans. Even better, I was having an impact because patients (employees, spouses and children) were getting the best care they ever have and saving a lot of money in the process.
