This week I was joined by Grace Hanson, CEO of Elysian, who's on a mission to fix one of the most overlooked parts of insurance: claims handling.“People underestimate how much profit lives in the claims department — and how much value is wasted when it's not run well,”Grace calls Elysian an AI-native outsourced claims service — but what that really means is her team uses their own technology to handle commercial claims better than traditional models allow. Faster answers. Better data. Fewer inconsistencies. All designed by people who've actually sat in the adjuster's chair.Some highlights from our chat...

Scaling claims operations while harnessing AI, automation, and real adjuster insights is not easy but Branch is doing just that. Returning for a second time to FNO: InsureTech, Chief Claims Officer Charlie Wendland provides an in-depth update on how Branch's claims team has intentionally built and evolved a fully in-house claims process focused on solving genuine adjuster pain points rather than chasing flashy tech trends. This episode explores how Branch leverages voice powered AI for FNOL, sophisticated fraud detection techniques, and large language model driven letter generation to streamline workflows. By involving adjusters closely in pilot programs, Branch ensures technology adoption is practical, meaningful, and impactful, pushing the boundaries of what a modern claims team can achieve.  Key Highlights: Branch is a fully licensed insurance carrier operating as a reciprocal exchange. It bundles auto, home, and renters' policies with an emphasis on speed and simplicity. The claims operation was built in-house and scaled through intentional, metrics driven process design prioritizing results without dramatically increasing headcount. First Notice of Loss (FNOL) is largely handled via Liberate's voice powered AI. Fewer than 30% of FNOL submissions route to a human, and that number continues to decline as users opt into self-service. Fraud detection measures include checks for duplicate images and photos pulled from the internet. These filters help fast-track genuine claims and reduce investigation lag. Branch uses large language models via its “Letter Gen” tool (developed with Kyber) to automatically draft state specific coverage letters, which are then reviewed by adjusters saving time without sacrificing accuracy. Adjusters are included in pilot testing for every new tech rollout. Their feedback directly shapes how tools are adopted and refined creating a smoother, more meaningful change management process.  Quotes: “We built our claims operation from the ground up, focusing on efficiency metrics at every step so we could scale without just adding bodies.” — Charlie Wendland “Fraud detection isn't just about flags it's about giving our adjusters confidence that clear claims can move faster through the system.” — Charlie Wendland “We're not using technology to replace humans we're using it to relieve them of rote tasks so they can focus on what matters complex problem-solving and real customer care.” — Charlie Wendland 

"All reparative processes are the work of INNATE, whose impulses are directed thru the nervous system, not the vascular system."

Tony chats with Joel Gendelman, CEO and Founder at n2itive, they are 100% focused on improving recorded statements. Adjusters chat with the claimants to get the story from the horse's mouth shortly after the loss happens and they record it. This is basically a CRM for recorded statements, already in use at 35 carriers and with 3 of the top 10 carriers. It allows adjusters to reliably and easily record the statement, they gets stored, transcribed, and most importantly transformed by AI and unlocking the content of the conversations and making that data available to make the best decisions and make adjusters more efficient. The adjuster doesn't have to even type notes, the system guides them through it. This data is the most untapped data in the claims side of insurance.

Dive into a double feature of conspiracies and chaos on this week's Mid Mic Crisis! In the first half, Bunchu and Chamber explore the shocking case of Luigi Mangione, an Ivy League graduate turned vigilante, accused of assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. With his manifesto critiquing corporate greed, the mysterious contents of his abandoned backpack—including Monopoly money—and the public's surprising meme-ification of him as “The Adjuster,” the hosts debate the ethics and implications of this unprecedented event. Was Mangione a lone revolutionary, or is there a deeper conspiracy at play?In the second half, the focus shifts to the skies over New Jersey, where a wave of UFO sightings has left residents and officials scratching their heads. From triangular crafts the size of cars to strange drone activity over critical infrastructure, the hosts analyze eyewitness accounts, including reports from Bunchu's own family. Are these sightings evidence of black-budget military projects, foreign espionage, or extraterrestrial visitors? With eerie silence from federal agencies and growing public desensitization to alien news, the mystery only deepens.Packed with theories, humor, and even a live debut of Chamber's folk song “His Name is Luigi,” this episode is a wild ride through conspiracies, mysteries, and AI-fueled chaos.

Loyalty oaths. Sex quizzes. It's how the MAGATS fill the government. It appears the Adjuster has been caught. And . . . oopsie! His uncle is a MAGAT legislator in Maryland. Nitwit Nero keeps telling America who he is.

After an update on new details about the United Healthcare vigilante, now known as The Adjuster, a recap of the last two episodes of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills begins. I catch up on E2 where viewers learned more cringeworthy information about PK, Kyle's issues with Dorit, Erika's ongoing fixation with money, and a framed picture Kyle can't seem to step to. Then, Kathy treats us to a beachside outing, filled with thoughtful touches, games, and fun elements - for Kyle to poop on. The culmination of the episode is Dorit once again standing up to Kyle and again refusing to accept blame for how she's been treated.

This week, we're featuring two segments. First up, Phil Wilayto of the Virginia Defenders talks about conditions at Red Onion State Prison in western Virginia where a number of prisoners have been self-immolating in order to escape longterm isolation and racist guard violence. You can find Phil's article on the SF Bay View which includes a clip of Noelle Hanrahan on Al-Jazeera talking about this subject, and past interviews with and about Kevin "Rashid" Johnson at this link here. [00:01:02 - 00:41:15] Then, you'll hear Jo, an anarchist from Germany, speaking about the recent building of conspiracy cases against antifascists known as Antifa-Ost, or Antifa East. You can find our prior interview about NSU Watch and Day X here.

Featured Musician: Tree City THE VIDEO: [After THE JUMP: Things said.] --------------------- 1. Ohio State Preview: Offense starts at the top Is Howard any better than Kyle McCord? Because McCord was actually really good in The Game last year. How Chip Kelly is the running game? How Ryan Day are they on 3rd & 3? Injuries to the offensive line have drawn in a couple of guards who weren't expected to play yet, put Carson Hinzman back at C and kicked Donovan Jackson out to left tackle, but these are first-world problems. Jeremiah Smith's freshman eligibility is a global problem. Emeke Egbuka is a dangerous slot weapon that wasn't fully utilized until he got to play there. 2. Ohio State Preview: Defense starts at 18:02 They brought back almost everybody and added the #1 transfer in the portal, meaning 5-star Sonny Styles is now at WLB for new Bandit uber 5-star Caleb Downs. Not as relevant that you can block JT Tuimolaoau and Jack Sawyer and survive because Evan Link isn't blocking those guys. Lathan Ransom has been a superstar at Adjuster safety for them. Weakness is the cornerbacks get left in man and are not elite—a weakness that Michigan is in a particularly bad position to exploit. 3. Basketball vs Xavier and Virginia Tech starts at 35:17 They faced a switching team and switched Everything! On-ball defense was brilliant in both games. Coming from guys we expected and from guys we didn't expect. Offensively they can find a guy (Gayle vs VT, Wolf vs Xavier) to keep them going until they get good at their offense, but that's coming too and you can see it in Vlad's usage. Seth wants an NIL program to pay Vlad $1000 per dunk and subtract $100 for every shot missed at the rim that's not a dunk. 4. Recruiting starts at 54:36 Underwood's arm strength is THERE but he varies his angles and speed, and that's why there's a hitch. His movement is also THERE: breakaway speed to extend plays. Seth runs us through guys to pay attention to down the stretch. See you next time for our live Signing Day show. About the Featured Artist: Tree City I call them 7, 3, and 4. [photo: Benjamin Weatherston] Those of you who've been paying attention know we always have a little surprise for The Game, but this one surprised even me. Nadim got in touch with local legend/Michigan grad Evan Haywood just in time to get us a preview of Tree City's highly anticipated next album "Pure Levels." For those who are tapped into the Ann Arbor music scene, you're going "Holy shit they got a copy of Tree City's new album!???" (it won't be released until December 13). For the rest (vast majority) of you: Tree City is a hip-hop collective from Ann Arbor that formed in 2005 and quickly became an integral part of the local scene. Three original members remain: Haywood ("Clavius Crates"), Kyle Hunter ("Silas Green"), and Jacoby Simmons ("DJ Cataclysmic") along with Charles Cheek ("Cheeks"), who joined in 2008. It's a big deal because we haven't had a Tree City release since their critically acclaimed "Thus Far" back in 2010, meaning the entirety of the Hoke and Harbaugh eras went by with people wondering when these guys are going to make another. Haywood calls "Pure Levels" the… magnum opus of homegrown hip-hop, over a decade in the making. It promises to be the definitive statement from several of the finest lyricists ever to emerge from Michigan. Their sound is intellectual, futuristic, and—IMO—a little bit jazzy in the way they quote and reference. It's fun and danceable stuff, but the lyrics are the thing. If you like grounded philosophy in your hip-hop this is the hip-hop for you. Songs: Love Hotels (produced by Dykehouse) Story 2 Story (Dykehouse) Raspberry Balm (produced by Vulfpeck) Also because Across 110th Street will get our Youtubes taken down, the opener and outro: “The Employee is Not Afraid”—Bear vs. Shark “Ruska Vodka”—Motorboat

Additionally, they highlight the risks of failing to report injuries before termination, which can result in claims being denied entirely.  Practical advice includes keeping thorough documentation, being honest about one's condition, and ensuring all forms are completed accurately. By addressing these common pitfalls, Carmen and Bilal provide injured workers with essential insights to navigate their claims effectively and safeguard their benefits.  The hosts aim to provide injured workers with the knowledge to manage their claims effectively and avoid pitfalls that could jeopardize their benefits.

Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com In this episode, I'm joined by Lurch, and we give you proper motorcycle clutch break-in procedures to ensure a good working and long-lasting clutch.  Most riders buy their new bike and just ride and don't truly break it in.  I recommend breaking your clutch in correctly to widen your clutch friction zone and ensure durability.   For those unfamiliar with the term, the friction zone is the critical area where the clutch plates are neither fully engaged nor disengaged. Some riders might call it “dragging the clutch.” Mastering control within this zone is crucial for maneuvering your motorcycle, particularly at lower speeds. Experienced riders, like police officers, frequently operate within this zone to navigate challenging courses, which directly translates to safer street riding. Check out my motorcycle clutch break-in video HERE. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Given the shift to cable clutches by Harley, we can still optimize the setup. Harley incorporates a plastic adjuster along the cable line, essentially an automatic adjuster. However, this system lacks the flexibility for riders to fine-tune play or engagement preferences. Fortunately, I've discovered a solution in the form of the Fat Baggers EZ Clutch Adjustor Upgrade. This aftermarket product replaces the stock plastic adjuster with a more durable metal counterpart, enabling precise external adjustments for clutch lever positioning. We carry these clutch adjusters right in the Law Abiding Biker Store. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! I outfitted my Harleys, including my Police Electra Glide, with a hydraulic system featuring the esteemed PSR Adjustable Clutch Lever. Complemented by the matching adjustable PSR brake lever, these components empower me to fine-tune my clutch lever, achieving precise engagement exactly where I desire it off the grip. For riders seeking similar control and comfort enhancements, a range of PSR adjustable clutch and brake levers are readily available at the Law Abiding Biker Store.
