Let's go.

Welcome to Citizen.

We've got a special guest today.

I think a lot of this information is going to piss everybody off,

but you should already be pissed off.

That's the point.

So bear with us.

Chris Hamilton.

Thank you for joining.

Yeah, Dan, thanks for having me.

Looking forward to the conversation.

Absolutely.

So before we get into making everybody mad, let's talk about your background.

Where did you grow up?

I actually grew up outside of Southwest Houston, played football, raised cattle, did some other sports, active, had two older brothers, kind of did the thing, went to school out in West Texas, played football, and ended up in the Dallas-Fort Worth area

after I graduated. Got into finance, did corporate finance and banking for a little over a decade

before getting into the industry that I'm in now, which is consulting with employers to build

efficient health insurance programs for their employees.

And if you'd have asked me or told me 15 years ago, this is what I'd be doing for my career.

And it would actually be a mission that I would be passionate about.

I thought you were crazy because I just didn't really understand how insurance worked,

health insurance in particular.
