Welcome to The Healthy Bottom Line
A Podcast for Employee Benefits Professionals Focused on Better Health and affordability. Brent Smith’s journey into health care started when his first post-college employer offered an incentive to employees to complete their annual physical. Short on cash and buried in student loans—he went. That visit led to a diagnosis of Metabolic Syndrome and changed the course of his life. It sparked a deep curiosity about health in America, a personal commitment to wellness, and the realization that an employer’s benefits strategy can change lives.
Brent spent the rest of his 20’s writing, directing and producing a movie about health in America called Sickcare.
Now Vice President of Client Development at Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Brent brings over two decades of experience to the mic—spotlighting what’s working and what’s next in employee benefits. The Healthy Bottom Line delivers smart, real-world strategies for HR leaders, consultants, and plan sponsors alike.
