U.S. Army veteran and DarkHorse Insurance Solutions founder Christa Angeles shares how resilience, attention to detail, and a commitment to education shaped her journey from boot camp and deployment to becoming a trusted Medicare broker. She explains why choosing the right health insurance plan is never one-size-fits-all, how reading the fine print can save thousands, and why honest guidance matters more than ever. Along the way, she reveals the mindset that helped her overcome failure, build a veteran-owned business, and continue serving others through Medicare education and personalized insurance solutions. Key Takeaways Military discipline and resilience became the foundation of building DarkHorse Insurance Solutions.
