What does it take to build a business that lasts more than two decades?

In this episode, Mike Schroeder, Founder and President of Roundstone Insurance, shares his entrepreneurial journey from a childhood fascination with business ownership to building one of the leading health insurance captive programs in the United States.

Mike explains how he applied established insurance principles to healthcare, creating a model that gives employers more control, more transparency, and more savings.

We also discuss family, accountability, leadership, health, travel, and why entrepreneurs must learn when to push harder—and when to step back.

What you’ll learn:

• Why ownership creates a different mindset
• How Roundstone transformed health insurance through captive structures
• Why family often becomes the driving force behind entrepreneurship
• The role of fitness, gratitude, and faith in long-term success
• Why entrepreneurs must get comfortable with accountability
