Today, we are joined by the owner of RevMed, Dr. Dan Moore. Dr. Dan is a local, on-call Direct Primary Care physician in Richmond, Virginia.  Also joining us is Christian Mosier who is the President of a health benefit solution firm called BenX Consulting Group. 

Direct primary care is an increasingly popular option for covering the cost of medical care. It’s an agreement you make directly with your provider and it doesn’t use insurance claims. Typically, this type of membership covers the cost of routine screenings, management of chronic conditions, and acute-care visits. But, If you have a Direct Primary Care plan, you may also need a high-deductible health plan to cover the cost of emergency or hospital services.

We thought it would be helpful for our listeners to have a conversation with both a Direct Primary Care Physician and an expert in the health insurance world to better explain how these two things can best work together.

Buying used will save you money but it can be scary for many car shoppers. Trying to figure out the history of the vehicle, whether the price is fair, if the warrantee is worth the additional dollars and making sure you don't head home with a lemon to name a few things. 

A used vehicle will cost less based on sticker price alone — but that's not where the savings stop. You will also be reaching for your wallet much less than if you drove a brand-new vehicle in terms of fees, insurance and vehicle depreciation.  

Listen in to hear tips from our experts on ways to navigate the world of used car shopping.

Welcome to Richmond's only project-based learning high school! Today, host Jess Ellett talks to Dr. Hitchcock, who was named the second Head of School at Lynnhaven in 2023.

Lynnhaven School provides an innovative, small school model that deeply values and sees each student as an individual. They offer a stark contrast to traditional schools that often struggle with overcrowding and outdated industrial models. The modern era demands skills beyond rote learning and routine tasks because today's challenges require an understanding of context, the ability to ask pertinent questions, and the skill to find credible solutions in collaboration with a global workforce. 

Dr. Hitchcock shares the great news about Lynnhavens long awaited return to Richmond and their new location on Parham Road, the ins and outs of how their small school environment allows for learning that is more personalized and the type of students that will really thrive at Lynnhaven! 

Richmond parents who have children that are intellectually curious but perhaps not as suited for traditional education, this is information you need to hear. Their project-based curriculum really challenges children to think critically and creatively, thus preparing them for a world where adaptability and innovation are paramount. 

We hope you learn and enjoy!

Business owners! The PTET could be significant as you start working on your 2023 taxes!  Under Virginia law, pass-through entities (PTEs) can choose to pay Virginia income tax at the entity level, and eligible owners of the PTE can receive corresponding credits. The general effect of this is to transfer the Virginia income tax liability on the PTE's income from the PTE's eligible owners to the PTE itself.

Today, Retha Valderas stops by to chat with host Jess Ellett about what the PTET really means and what the significance is for business owners.

On January 1, 2024 a new reporting requirement went into effect that requires millions of small businesses to file a Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) Report with the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), enacted in 2021, was passed to enhance transparency in entity structures and ownership to combat money laundering, tax fraud, and other illicit activities.

Today, Retha Valderas stops by to chat with host Jess Ellett about what this act means for entrepreneurs and small business owners, what the deadlines are and what the penalties will be for organizations that don't file on time.

In February 2017, Jill Zebrowski Cichowicz’s twin brother died from Fentanyl poisoning.  To help manage her grief, and as a way to bring something positive out of her family’s devastation, Jill created the Scott Zebrowski Scholarship Fund in partnership with the The McShin Foundation, a Richmond based addiction treatment center. 

In both 2019 and 2020 “A Night For Scott” was voted The Best Charity Event in Richmond and first runner-up in 2021 and 2022; each raising awareness and thousands of dollars. Jill has continued her advocacy by speaking nationally about addiction and its impact on individuals, families and communities and starting 2 End The Stigma as a way to further her outreach into the community.

2 End The Stigma alleviates barriers to getting help for addiction and they work tirelessly to educate about addiction recovery and connect individuals and families to resources and community programming that will help them overcome the barriers to receiving help.

Listen in as Jill Cichowicz and host Jess Ellett discuss the many things this incredible organization is doing for our community.
