David and Gary sit down with Rachel McLauchlin, founder of Embark Benefits, to unpack what it really takes to rebuild something from the ground up—twice. Rachel shares how her own experience navigating the benefits world sparked a mission to create something better: a system that actually works for people, not against them.

This episode digs into the grit behind entrepreneurship, the lessons learned from doing it all over again, and how personal conviction can fuel a business that lasts. Rachel’s story is a reminder that the best companies don’t just fill a gap—they fix something broken.
