They raised $30,000 for two great organizations, The Ambrose School and ACE Mentor Program Idaho.

Thanks for the invite David Martin!

Leadership Boise Session #9: HEALTHCARE

I have recently had several firsthand encounters with the US healthcare industry. For this reason, I was particularly interested in this topic. Judging by the high degree of audience engagement during this session, I suspect that I am not alone.

My takeaways:

- Idaho ranks last in the US in the number of physicians per capita

- In government-subsidized healthcare programs, healthcare costs for healthy individuals are expensive to account for individuals with more healthcare expenses

- One potential solution to high healthcare costs: incentivize prevention, not treatment

- Similarly, on the subject of homelessness: reactive services cost more than dollars invested in preventative measures

- One of the best ways for government to combat housing unaffordability: empower private developers to build more housing (reduce red tape, loosen zoning code, etc.)

- A description of American healthcare: “Exceptional doctors and care, mired in bureaucracy and costs”

Thank you to all the companies and organizations who contributed to this session, including Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, The Idaho Foodbank, Saint Alphonsus, Boise Police Department, City of Boise, Terry Reilly Health Services, Hawley Troxell, St. Luke's Medical Center, and more.

Leadership Boise Session #8: GOVERNMENT & LEGAL

For obvious reasons, this was one of my favorite sessions. We heard from a range of elected officials, from school board members to constitutional officers to Idaho Supreme Court justices.

My takeaways:

- “There is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he doesn’t mind who gets the credit.” – Ronald Reagan

- "We have two ears and one mouth, which means we should listen twice as much as we speak." - Idaho State Controller Brandon Woolf

- "In politics, ego and bureaucratic inertia prevent change and progress." Boise City Councilman Colin Nash

- “The ideal government is the type of government that you don’t notice.” – Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane

- Your vote counts. A recent ACHD commission race was decided by two votes. 40k people in that district voted. 10k of those voters didn’t vote on that race.

- People in their 80’s win elections because people in their 80’s show up to vote.

- “Voting with your feet” is a recent trend where people are moving to politically likeminded places. Idaho has been on the receiving end of this trend.

Thank you to all who presented, including Lori Frasure, Colin Nash, Brandon Woolf for State Controller, Idaho Secretary of State, Eagle Police, the Idaho Supreme Court Justices, and more.

My client and friend Ben Stauss was recently featured in a writeup by Idaho For Good.

They highlighted Ben's business, Waste Equals. Waste Equals reclaims surplus and leftover construction materials, reducing landfill waste and saving buyers money.

Keep up the good work Ben!

What if "waste" was just a resource in the wrong place? That's the question driving Ben Stauss, the Boise entrepreneur who turned a college internship observation into a business that's diverted hundreds of millions of pounds of material from landfills. With construction accounting for 30
