Paul Wilson: How did you get started in the benefits industry?
I studied pre-medicine in undergrad and got a Master's degree in Exercise Science with a focus on injury prevention and corporate wellness. I really wanted to get a job as a personal trainer, but it turns out that career is really cool for dating but not for paying the bills. So I ended up working in an area that we deal with every day: the pharmaceutical industry. I won Rookie of the Year for my company, but I didn't feel good about what I was doing. Looking for something more entrepreneurial, I joined Morgan Stanley, although I didn't end up feeling great about what I was doing there, either.
