As CEO of Benefyx and BRM Specialty Systems, Roman McDonald leads the nation's only minority-owned medical stop-loss firm, underwriting self-insured healthcare plans nationwide. Based in Philadelphia, he's transformed from being a distribution outlet to becoming the distributor himself.
Though he now commands a multimillion-dollar underwriting empire, McDonald's journey began differently. While he dreamed in his youth of a career in football, his early passion for debate and communication initially pointed him toward law, but after majoring in International Finance, he entered the world of stockbroking. Seeking more impact beyond processing trades, he pivoted to wealth strategy planning, using life insurance as a wealth-building vehicle. His evolution into employee benefits opened doors to both work efficiency and scalability.
Discover how McDonald turned benefits education into big business—all because he got a license.

Meet Chris. Christopher Cobb is the CO-CEO of Chosen Agency in Houston, TX, a Fintech-focused Independent Life Insurance brokerage offering Financial Education for consumers and paths to Entrepreneurship for aspiring entrepreneurs in the Insurance Industry. Growing up in a small town in rural Georgia, he began his professional career after college in a Management trainee program with a major car rental company before entering the insurance industry as an underwriter, working on bank and credit union accounts for a large insurance carrier. Since he worked for an insurance company, many of his relatives assumed he knew all things insurance and began to ask him about Life insurance, even though he worked in Property & Casualty. With that motivation, he decided to get a Life insurance license to help family and friends part-time while maintaining his underwriting career. Less than a year later, he knew he had found his true calling, and along with his life, started their own business in the industry that would firmly establish a limitless legacy for their family… all because He Got License.
