Season 1 Finale with Lester Morales

This episode of the #RockstarsRocking podcast features my good friend and closet Oriole’s fan, Lester Morales, Founder and CEO, Next Impact, out of the Puerto Rico. We dive directly into the deep end, as Lester opens our podcast with a discussion of how he knew he actually WANTED to go into insurance from a fairly young age, which stemmed from heartbreaking health issues within his family during his teenage years. He gets into the stark statistic of how 67% of all bankruptcies are due to medical and health issues and how that touched his own family. This led him to working to change the health industry and bring transparency to the industry, to save people money and lower that alarming bankruptcy statistic. Lester then digs into how and why he founded Next Impact from the idea of increasing transparency and education of employees, employers, and healthcare consumers in general. We talk about how he’s grown his business using frequent and regular webinars to further industry education and then we get into his Michael Jordan Theory, which is that while Jordan is the GOAT, it wasn’t necessarily for just being the best singular player, but by making those around him great. We round out our interview with a discussion of the importance of sales leadership and business mentoring. Lester espouses the importance of ‘jumping in the pool and seeing if there’s water’ and taking a chance on going for what you want. He closes us out with a synopsis of his podcast, which is aimed at those who are working to change the healthcare industry. So, are you ready for more?

The basic premise about health insurance has been the same since the beginning of time: You pay a premium every month, and if you need healthcare, your insurance kicks in to pay for some of it, right? But the Affordable Care Act and other innovations have turned the health insurance industry on its ear. While the premise stays the same, the options can take you in a thousand directions. We’re lucky Lester Morales has been a leader in the healthcare industry during all of this, and is leading the way with cost savings again with his company, Next Impact. He joins us now on the BrandBuilders Podcast to explain how.

Episode 7 - Lester Morales

"Take the next step or choose to let it cripple you." The wise words from the incredibly impactful man himself, Lester Morales is our next guest.   Lester is no newbie to the game of a go-getter. After many years as a super successful sales leader, he took a good look around and knew there was a bigger impact to be made in his industry &amp; more importantly his life. With the help of wise words from his mom and a strong belief in himself, he chose to take the leap of faith and opened the doors of Next Impact, LLC.  What happened would be enough to knock many others of course, still after major hits he has proven to never back down and is as successful as ever running a now 7 figure business he gets to call his own.  Lester's journey is a true definition that you don't get to choose the cards you're dealt on the journey in life, what you do get to choose is how you move forward to make an impact from that.   Connect with Lester on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/lester-j-morales-5064b91/    Instagram: @collblum &amp; @tryandstopmepodcast

Choose Your Own Adventure With Guest Lester Morales

Lester Morales is a self-proclaimed healthcare nerd, disruptor, and public speaker as the Founder and CEO of Next Impact. He found his way into the health insurance world as a product of it. His dad’s devastating diagnosis caused Lester to dig deep into health care and lit the fire necessary to begin making the amazing impact he does on the industry today. I’ve known Lester from a distance for quite some time. But this conversation drew me into the wonderful human being he is and I have a whole new level of respect for the man he continues striving to be. In this episode, we definitely talked a lot about health insurance. But beyond that, we talked about his love of family, his passion for and continued investment in his home country of Puerto Rico, and what it takes to be a great leader in business and life.
