Andy Schoonover is the founder and CEO of CrowdHealth, a company challenging one of the most powerful and entrenched industries in America: health insurance. After witnessing firsthand the rising costs, lack of transparency, and growing frustration many families face when navigating healthcare, Andy set out to build an alternative.

In this conversation, we dive deep into the complex and often frustrating reality of the American healthcare system. We explore how traditional health insurance became the dominant model and why so many Americans feel trapped by rising costs and decreasing transparency. This conversation explores the questions many people are asking but few are discussing openly.

This is not a sponsored episode by CrowdHealth. This is an investigative look into the alternatives that are available.

You’re Being Lied to About Health Insurance

Today I’m sharing the story of meeting our son, Penn, and the experience of bringing him into the world. Choosing an unmedicated birth at a birthing center was a decision I spent a lot of time praying through and preparing for, and I’m so thankful for how this chapter unfolded. I wanted to share this positive experience in hopes that it encourages someone else on their own journey. Let’s dive in. -RC

The Birth Experience I Prayed For

There is so much to this conversation. My sister Jordan is a military veteran, competitive bodybuilder, and fitness coach, but it's her life as a stay-at-home mom that has brought her the most fulfillment. She opens up about her views on what it really means to live counter-culture as a woman today and why living the trad life has shown her the real meaning of empowerment. I loved getting to sit down with my own sister for this one; I think it will resonate with so many of you.

My "Boring" Testimony

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene’s devastating sweep through the Appalachian Mountains, where entire towns were erased and hundreds of lives were lost, the story didn’t end. It continues here among the remnants of destruction and the steady, determined work of rebuilding.

Returning to the mountains, this journey steps into the lives of those who stayed or came back, capturing resilience in quiet moments and powerful voices. What was lost is only part of the story. What comes next is still being written.

I’m Not Ready (And That’s Okay)

There is so much to this story. Spencer Taylor is the incredible documentary filmmaker behind ‘The Death of Recess’ which is currently available to watch on Angel Studios. He spent over a decade diving into the complex rabbit hole of the American education system in order to try and understand what has gone so wrong, and how can we fix it. What he uncovered was a shock not only to himself, but I think it will shock all viewers when you see what he discovered.
