Just Some BS
Welcome to Just Some BS—the podcast for high-potential humans trying to figure it out without pretending they’ve got it all together.
Hosted by Brandon, this is where personal growth meets real talk, career chaos meets clarity, and leadership lessons are served with a side of sarcasm.
Each episode is part journal, part pep talk, part “did they just say that?”
Expect stories from the trenches of work and life, honest reflections, and the kind of insights you’d only get from someone who’s been through the BS and decided to podcast about it.
If you're into ambition, awkwardness, and a little bit of absurdity—you’re home.
New episodes every Tuesday.
Stay weird.

Heart-Surgery Survivor to Benefits Fixer: Nate Bunty on Direct Primary Care, Fitness & Cost-Smart Insurance
From having last rites read over him before third-grade open-heart surgery to advising CEOs on future-proof health plans, Nate Bunty has lived both sides of America’s medical maze. In this candid sit-down with host Brandon Stanchock, the Univest Benefits Advisor explains how childhood “zipper-scar” resilience, protein-packed fitness habits and a passion for simple, transparent coverage fuel his mission to make insurance actually work.
Inside the episode:
- Life with a “zipper chest.” Nate recalls the moment he realized his childhood wasn’t “normal”—an anointing-of-the-sick ritual before yet another heart procedure.
- Mindset > mortality. Hearing “you could die” at age 9 rewired his approach to risk, leadership and fatherhood.
- Direct Primary Care decoded. Why a $75/month, no-copay subscription can slash employer costs and give employees 45-minute doctor visits.
- The Surest/UHC “Amazon of plans.” A data-driven app that shows knee-replacement costs before you book—and why Nate calls it “elegant insurance UX”.
- Macros, weights & energy. How swapping carbs for protein in his 40s beat burnout better than fad diets.
- What owners miss about benefits. Hidden barriers like a $50 specialist copay—and the culture shift needed to teach teams where to go first.
Whether you’re an HR pro drowning in deductibles or a leader who hasn’t seen a doctor in years, Nate’s mix of heart-level stories and sharp benefit hacks will change how you think about preventive care, fitness and employee wellbeing.
