Andy Neary shares a short anecdote about being lost while driving after entering wrong GPS coordinates, then draws an analogy to CFOs/HR executives who avoid admitting they are "lost" in managing rising healthcare budgets. He encourages viewers to message him with similar experiences and closes with a motivational sign-off to focus on outcomes and challenge the status quo.

You ever been driving down the road with your spouse in the passenger seat, wind blowing past your face? It's a beautiful day, really. Nothing could go wrong. And then suddenly, it sinks in. You're lost. But you're not going to admit this to your spouse, right? So you keep driving, hoping the next turn will get you back on track. And you could have sworn your GPS was accurate. So you keep listening to the voice command, and you keep driving and driving and driving, never realizing that you plugged the wrong coordinates into the GPS in the first place. Sound familiar? Just happened to me last week. Now, imagine you're a CFO or an HR executive trying to bring control to a rising health care budget, and you're lost. But you're not going to admit this to the CEO or to the board, right? Because that could be detrimental to your career. So you keep driving, hoping that the next turn, the next insurance renewal, will get your health care budget back on track. But you never realize that you plugged the wrong coordinates into the GPS in the first place. If this sounds like you, you're not alone. But shoot me a message. I'd love to know a time when you felt lost trying to bring certainty and predictability and a successful outcome to your healthcare budget. And until next time, guys, bear down, focus on the target, and strike out the status quo. Have a great afternoon.
