  • Government Systems Are Broken — Here's How to Fix Them | Peter Justen
    Mar 5 2026

    Why does it take 4 months to get an 85-year-old grandmother on Medicaid when she has zero assets? In this episode of CommonX, Peter Justen, founder of Ameritrust Solutions, breaks down why government benefit systems are stuck in the past — and what his team is doing to fix it.


    Peter shares how a personal experience with his mother's Medicaid application led him to build a platform that reduces a 209-question process down to about 20 questions and completes applications in 12 minutes. He explains how his company feeds better data into existing state systems without costly rip-and-replace upgrades, flags fraud before it enters the system, and helps rural hospitals recover billions in uncompensated care.


    Topics covered: Medicaid application reform, government fraud detection, rural hospital funding, VA disability benefits, the uncompensated patient problem, ACA subsidy expiration, and why trust in institutions gets rebuilt one brick at a time.

  • The iPhone Moment for Safes: Oscar Hedaya on Building SpaceSafe
    Mar 3 2026

    Traditional safes haven’t really evolved in decades — and Oscar Hedaya decided that was insane.

    In Episode 74 of the CommonX Podcast, we sit down with Oscar Hedaya (founder of SpaceSafe) to talk about why physical security still feels stuck in the 90s, what it takes to build hardware + software the hard way, and why “visibility + accountability” is the real upgrade: tamper notifications, movement alerts, and a safer that can work connected or offline.

    We also get into the realities of manufacturing (margins, development costs, PCB mistakes you only make once), what it would take to expand into bigger safe formats (yes… gun safe conversations), and Oscar’s long-term goal of selling the company and using his time to help other founders.

  • The System Is Glitching (According to us Geezers)
    Feb 26 2026

    In Episode 73, we’re joined by the crazy minds behind Geezer Magazine Laura LeBleu and Paul Von Zielbauer — a publication built by and for Gen X — and let’s just say… we’ve got thoughts.


    The economy feels weird.

    Politics feels weird.

    Culture feels weird.

    And apparently Gen X is now officially old enough to have a magazine.


    So we ask the question:

    Is everything falling apart…

    Or are we just seasoned enough to see the cracks?


    We talk about:

    • Why institutions feel unstable

    • The “middle child” generation perspective

    • Scarcity mindset vs abundance thinking

    • Whether Gen X is uniquely positioned to lead

    • Why chaos might actually be transition


    Plus — what happens when the generation raised on latchkeys, MTV, and “figure it out yourself” becomes the adults in the room.

    No doom spirals. No yelling. Just perspective — with a little humor.


    If you’ve ever thought, “Is it just me…?”

    It’s not just you.
