Unexpected outcome for everyone involved is, we're actually enjoying the process and having fun!

In this episode we get into the reasons why we started this podcast in the first place. It quickly deteriorates into a chess match between David and I, but not without addressing these key points first: Current carriers view of the claims process and why it must be innovated. What "fine and dandy" actually means in the insurance world, and what it actually should be. Why most insurance TV commercial are focusing on the same thing to differentiate themselves from each. Main challenges the insurance industry is facing today from a consumer's viewpoint. Main barriers to acquiring insurance nirvana. Why the insurance corp and the policy holder are not necessarily in conflict. Why Harley Davidson is in real trouble. How can insurance companies tap into the younger generation and why culture hacking is the way to do it. Is not a compliance issue. It's a cultural one.

You must think different as a carrier. Definitely lots of room for improvement, but we're looking forward to having a lot of fun as we get better! Talk to you next week! Cheers :-)
