This episode brings together music, real life, and an issue that affects millions of Americans.

We’re joined by Rylee McDonald, a talented local musician, singer, and songwriter who has personally performed at our wedding and at Frankie’s 50th birthday celebration.

Rylee is also a member of Advent Horizon, an original rock band with a dedicated following, and part of a high-energy party band called Shuffle, which plays weddings, corporate events, and destination events around the country and internationally.

In the first half of the episode, we talk music — how performing evolved from passion projects into luxury events, touring experiences, and a behind-the-scenes look at the world of high-end weddings and corporate gigs.

Then the conversation takes an important turn.

Rylee also works with McDonald Insurance Services, his family’s Utah-based health insurance brokerage, helping individuals and families who don’t receive coverage through an employer navigate the private health insurance market.

He clearly breaks down:

We talk about why millions of Americans could drop coverage in 2026, how that creates a ripple effect of rising premiums, and what happens if Congress acts late — or not at all.

This isn’t political. It’s practical, informative, and incredibly important.
