On this episode of the GO4CEO Podcast, I sit down with Mark Newman, founder and CEO of Nomi Health, to expose one of the biggest hidden threats facing American businesses today: skyrocketing healthcare costs fueled by a lack of transparency.

With over two decades of experience leading healthcare innovation, Mark has become a powerful voice calling out the system’s inefficiencies and the devastating financial burden it places on both employers and employees. He believes that the boldest leaders are those willing to question the status quo and demand change that benefits everyone, not just the insurers.

Mark shares how his team at Nomi Health is creating a simpler, more transparent model that helps companies slash costs, support their teams, and restore balance between providers and patients. In our conversation, we dive into:

✅ The truth about hidden healthcare fees most companies never see

✅ How the current system traps families and businesses in debt

✅ What real transparency looks like—and why it’s so hard to achieve

✅ The future of direct-pay healthcare models that actually work

If you’re a CEO, HR leader, or entrepreneur who’s tired of watching costs rise without answers, this episode will empower you to lead with courage, demand accountability, and take back control of your company’s healthcare destiny.➭ If you found this video valuable, give it a like.
