In the past few weeks, our community has been hit with the extremes of life. Both in our personal lives and in the world at large, we have seen lives cut short unexpectedly. It drives home the sobering truth: no one is entitled to tomorrow.
Today, we take time to reflect on this reality and how it should inform the way we live. From relationships to lasting impact to preparing for the unexpected, today’s conversation is one we don’t often visit–but one that calls us to Envizion More.

“Medicare essentially throws a 130-page book at you and says good luck.”
Around this time last year, we hosted a virtual Medicare workshop with Jason L’Hommedieu of Nexus Insurance Advisors–one of our top events for the year.
Medicare is a decision that catches many people off guard. It’s a complex topic, and unfortunately, one fraught with pitfalls. Jason is Vizionary’s go-to expert on the topic of Medicare planning.
Whether you're approaching 65 or advising someone who is, understanding your options—from Medicare Parts A and B to Medicare Advantage plans and supplements—is crucial. Jason sheds light on everything from enrollment deadlines to the hidden changes in benefits.
We also consider the future, such as Medicare's financial implications for the country's debt. We’ll also discuss the changes to drug coverage caps and potential new measures to control costs.
Medicare is complex, but the right guide makes all the difference.
Vizionary Wealth Management and Nexus Insurance Advisors are separate entities. There is no financial relationship or compensation between Vizionary Wealth Management and Nexus Insurance Advisors.

Every successful person had an early role model who helped them believe that more was possible. Today, we are sitting down with a person who met Wayne and Mae in their 20s and radically changed the course of their lives. He was the first one to challenge them to Envizion More.
The conversation revisits the pivotal stories of Brad’s influence in Wagner’s early married years and chronicles Brad’s transformative approach to relationships, personal development, and influence.
Brad and Wayne also explore the vital benefit of surrounding oneself with influential people and the crucial role of vision in leadership. Brad’s advice on investing in oneself and others, as well as the legacy of integrity and character, offers a profound perspective on achieving not just financial success but a lasting positive impact.
We hope you enjoy one of the foundational moments where Envizion More found its roots.

The pharma and biotech industry is one of the most complex to work in. Navigating regulations, boom-or-bust start-up companies, and complex compensation can make it hard to predict how your career will progress.
Today, we have the honor of interviewing Sherri Kemp of Kemps Connections. She is approaching 20 years of executive recruiting, helping high-performing executives reach new levels of success and purpose in their careers. Along the way, she found a sweet spot in pharma.
Today, she joins us to discuss the dramatic shift from a candidate-driven market to an employer-driven one, largely influenced by economic factors, inflation, FDA regulations, and funding issues.
We'll dive into the challenges job seekers are facing, including fewer job opportunities, increased competition, and the complexities introduced by AI in the hiring process. Sherri will also share her expertise on crafting standout resumes, interview preparation, and understanding the nuances of pay transparency laws.
