What the Death of United Health care CEO Brian Thompson Means for Business Leaders

The tragic death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has sent shockwaves through both Corporate America and the general public. While his killing is an undeniably horrific act, the mixed public response reveals a deeper societal fracture rooted in corporate accountability—or the lack thereof.

As details emerged about Thompson’s tenure, many could not overlook a stark reality: his multimillion-dollar bonuses were allegedly tied to practices that included denying healthcare coverage to vulnerable Americans, including children. This fact has intensified public anger and reshaped the conversation around corporate responsibility.

The Moral Reckoning for Business Leaders

This article is not intended to condone violence in any form. But business leaders cannot afford to dismiss the implications of such visceral public outrage. In a world where consumers can vote with their wallets—or take extreme measures—leaders must reassess how they define success.

This moment is a stark reminder that businesses must operate within a “Human Plus” Model—one that balances profits with positive societal impact. Customers expect—and now demand—that companies pursue sustainable and ethical business practices.

What the Jewelry Industry Must Learn

In the luxury jewelry space, we are not exempt from this scrutiny. The industry has long been entangled in controversies surrounding unethical mining practices, environmental destruction, and human rights abuses. Public patience for brands that ignore such issues is wearing thin.

The Takeaway: Businesses built on exploitative models are no longer sustainable—not just from a market perspective, but from a societal one. The fall of high-powered leaders in 2024, with more likely to follow in 2025, signals a changing tide in public accountability.

I wanted to take the time to have a discussion about the killing of the United Health CEO Brian Thompson and understand the big picture here this isn't a video to necessarily pile on at this time to the flawed system of insurance and health care in the United States obviously a lot to unpack there and that's not the topic of this video in this video I want to take a step back and understand that there are certain times in history where things really change and it's almost like the things that are physically happening are like a metaphor of what's really going on beneath the surface down at the energetic Quantum level of the world and it is interesting to consider that in times of History we've seen Kings rise and Kings fall and what better symbolic meaning could we take from the times changing than seeing the CEO of number eight on the Fortune 500 list by the way seeing that CEO killed by a member of the public a member of the market and sending a message on the bullet casings I think it was deny defend depose were the words used words used by his company for how they can deny Health Care to Children how they can deny Health Care to sick people to your family and the fact that this man would have been having his bonuses as a CEO directly Cor at to denying children healthare there is an element there that I can't deny isn't a bit poetic that's why people are in the comments making a joke out of them I'm not saying I agree with that but I would assume that in other times in history maybe it would have been when Nero failed in ancient Rome there would have been a large constituency of the public that would have piled on that situation as well if they had had social media but at least it would have been the words on the street in Rome so these things happen in history where things change and kind of the energy that is holding up matter in reality in its most fundamental level shift and change and I would see the fall of this Caesar in the health care system as one of those symbolic times where things are changing because we can go Way Way Beyond this now if we understand the nature of why that system is corrupt it's because people are spending a lot of money to develop intellectual property to create Wonder drugs that they can be sold at a big big margin and in order for these companies to make money there needs to be an ecosystem that includes things like a corrupt insurance industry for healthcare so as we move forward into a world of artificial intelligence we can look at the market and understand that a company like open AI just released an AI model in 01 that can reason at the level of a PhD scientist and for a certain fee people can get almost unlimited access to this so what happens when people can create the wonder drug in a small startup and then some people can even decide to throw a wrench in the whole system and open source their findings what if somebody cures cancer and open sources it that changes the entire thing that changes how everything works that that reshapes and reweaves the fabric of reality as we know it in the modern West so that is where I'm thinking with this that we are in the midst of a seismic shift of how we are going to experience the developed world of course compassion is required whether you agree with the business practices of the system that United Health operates within currently I bet you you're all about to change a lot of how you make decisions at that company but with respect to the dead I have nothing to say about that but I will say that this is emblematic of a major major change that we are going to see across a top 10 Fortune 500 company and all of the companies that they're competing with are also going to be paying attention there's going to be an entire Market Dynamic of people that can go innovate and create products that eliminate the structure of that industry as a whole and as that continues to happen the larger insurance companies are going to have to change how they operate the pharmaceutical companies are going to have to change how they compete in an open market and all in all we are moving in a positive direction so I guess my final word on the matter is if you're a leader in this new world take note because boy oh boy what a responsibility we have because the world will come for you in the new world if you don't take responsibility and do the human plus right thing with your business with great power comes great responsibility my name is Jesse Korby hope I made you think about this different today and I will see you in the next one.
