CLEARly Beneficial Podcast · 2026-03-24 · 33 min
In July 2021, Vincent Catalano sat down as a guest on the Healthy Dose of Dialogue Podcast with host Don Antonucci, Senior Vice President of Growth at Blue Shield of California. Vincent was then Senior Vice President of Employee Benefits at Lockton Insurance Brokers, one of the largest privately owned consulting firms in the world. The conversation? Strikingly familiar. Vincent laid out the same truths he's still talking about today: employers praying for good outcomes instead of building strategy, the dangerous gap between HR teams and the C-suite, why most organizations have no real five-year healthcare plan, and what it actually takes to bend the cost curve. In this special throwback episode, hear Vincent describe how the problem hasn't changed - and why the solutions he's been advocating for years are more urgent than ever. If you're an employer, benefits broker, or HR professional, this one's a reminder that the window to act has been open for a long time.
