Join Rodney and guests as they unpack how to design, manage, and continuously improve employee benefit programs so they protect your people and support your organization.
Rodney Mattos Sr. Founder of Triforta and Apeironix has watched the insurance industry normalize chaos for decades: healthcare costs rising on autopilot, risk decisions made without visibility, and agencies drowning in manual work that kills margin and burns out good people.
We’re done pretending that’s acceptable.
This show is built for operators who want control. Each episode delivers stories from the field, frameworks that hold up under pressure, and clear guidance on what to do next. We go deep on alternative funding, captives, and pharmacy strategy that lowers net cost. We break down commercial risk decisions that protect the balance sheet. And we get very real about automation, how AI can remove drag, modernize workflows, and help you grow without adding headcount chaos.
If you’re leading finance, HR, operations, or an agency and you want the truth, the tools, and the playbook, welcome.

After scaling an independent insurance agency into a tech-forward team of teams, Rodney Mattos Sr. launched The Rodney Mattos Show with his son and co-host, Rodney Mattos Jr., to share what they’ve learned from the front lines of modern insurance.
Yes, you’ll hear plenty about employee benefits, because self-funding, captives, pharmacy strategy, and compliance have become make-or-break decisions for employers. But this show isn’t boxed into one lane. Some episodes go deep on commercial risk and how leaders protect the balance sheet. Others pull back the curtain on Triforta’s tech stack and Apeironix, how AI and automation are turning insurance operations into a performance engine that lifts margin, speed, and service.
The goal is simple: give founders, CFOs, HR leaders, and agency owners a clearer path forward, less noise, more truth, and strategies that actually work in the real world.
