Agency Nation Radio - Insurance Marketing, Sales and Technology
On this episode of Agency Nation Radio, we meet Ivie Isler, assistant vice president and marketing analyst supervisor at McGriff Insurance Services in Birmingham, Alabama. From serving as president of the Birmingham Independent Insurance Agents (BIIA) to chair of the Alabama Independent Insurance Agents (AIIA) young agents committee (YAC)—and numerous other roles in between—Isler isn't one to shy away from an opportunity to help the independent agency channel. Isler's leadership was instrumental in helping AIIA win its first InsurPac Eagle Award. She emphasizes the importance of being involved in legislation. “If you are not involved with it, then people outside of your industry are making changes to your industry that will impact you,” she says. “You have to have a voice.” In 2023, Isler received the InsurPac Young Agent of the Year award for her role in AIIA's Eagle status. In 2024, Isler also received the national Young Agent of the Year Award for leadership in her local and state associations and involvement in national YAC events. Agency Nation Radio is where insurance professionals turn on the mic and share unscripted stories about leadership, technology, marketing, success, and failure—stories that helped make them the professionals they are today. From Main Street USA to the pages of Independent Agent magazine—we've got the stories you want to hear. ----------------- For more, catch Agency Nation Radio on your favorite streaming platform or visit iamagazine.com/podcasts.

On this episode of the Minor League with Savannah Robinson, she and Coach Blu discuss moving forward and glancing back and how they are complementary actions that shape our journey through life. Moving forward represents our constant drive to grow, evolve, and embrace new experiences. It is the propulsion that propels us towards our goals and aspirations, pushing us beyond our comfort zones. Moving forward allows us to learn from our past, make necessary adjustments, and seize opportunities for personal and professional growth. On the other hand, glancing back is an essential reflection upon our past experiences. It enables us to acknowledge our accomplishments, learn from our mistakes, and gain wisdom from the lessons life has taught us. Glancing back provides us with a broader perspective, helping us appreciate our journey and make informed decisions for the future. Balancing both moving forward and glancing back allows us to navigate our path with intention, resilience, and continuous self-improvement. For More Infromation Visit; AddictToAthlete.org

In questo audio il prezioso incontro con Miltos Manetas artista Elena Calretti ordinario di finanza Bocconi. L'intervista è nel podcast Contemporaneamente di Mariantonietta Firmani, il podcast pensato per Artribune. In Contemporaneamente podcast trovate incontri tematici con autorevoli interpreti del contemporaneo tra arte e scienza, letteratura, storia, filosofia, architettura, cinema e molto altro. Per approfondire questioni auliche ma anche cogenti e futuribili. Dialoghi straniati per accedere a nuove letture e possibili consapevolezze dei meccanismi correnti: tra locale e globale, tra individuo e società, tra pensiero maschile e pensiero femminile, per costruire una visione ampia, profonda ed oggettiva della realtà. Con Miltos Manetas ed Elena Carletti un incontro che è quasi un happening, parliamo di umano tra arte e finanza, economia e terra. Nel 2000 inizia l'intensa convivenza tra uomo e macchine intelligenti, nasce il movimento NEEN che ripensa il lavoro e anticipa gli NFT. La ricerca universitaria offre libertà di tempo e creatività del pensiero. L'artista, sensibile per professione, rischia la vita Neoumile per sopravvivere, come Bill Gates e Julian Assange, entra nel gioco dell'informazione, iper-industria del contemporaneo. La finanza, divisa in tre grandi aree: intermediazione, finanza delle imprese e mercati finanziari, dovrebbe focalizzarsi maggiormente sulle modalità per redistribuire ricchezze. Bisognerebbe promuovere l'educazione finanziaria al fine di rendere la società più consapevole. L'opera come apologia del post capitalismo, attraverso l'ironia socratica per rappresentare il privilegio come dimensione esistenziale. Le macchine svolgono un ruolo sempre maggiore anche nel mondo finanziario, la democrazia deve ripensare la propria forma e molto altro. ASCOLTA L'INTERVISTA!! BREVI NOTE BIOGRAFICHE DEGLI AUTORI Miltos Manetas vive e lavora: tra Roma, New York e Bogotá nell'89 diploma all'Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera.

Nel 2014, all'Istituto Svizzero di Roma, introduce il concetto di “Ñewpressionism” che continua a sviluppare sui Social Media utilizzando le sue tecniche: “Overeality” e “Metascreen”. Ancora, nel 2017 con il progetto “Tony in Documenta14”, utilizza la rassegna internazionale Documenta, per rafforzare il suo concetto di “Mediosud”. In Roma, nel 2019, al MACRO, presenta “Neoumile Modus Operandi”, nel 2018 il MAXXI realizza “Internet Paintings di Manetas”, mostra performativa di tre mesi. Rappresentato da autorevoli gallerie internazionali, secondo Lev Manovich, l'arte di Manetas rappresenta le persone moderne nei loro particolari ambienti moderni.

Les artistes seront-ils remplacés par l'intelligence artificielle? Capables de produire des illustrations «à la manière de» à partir d'une simple description textuelle, ces «prototypes» s'appellent Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, DALL-E 2 ou Harmonai. Les artistes se croyaient à l'abri, protégés par la créativité humaine, or il n'en est rien. L'intelligence artificielle avance à pas de géant. Décryptage en compagnie de Frederick Peeters, Zep, Samuel Metzner et François Fleuret. Dans cette émission également, un dialogue avec Chimère, une IA installée à St-Gervais, Genève. Elle participe, avec quelques artistes de chair et de sang en résidence, à la conception du festival AiiA qui commence ce soir. Un sujet de Didier Charlet.
La 2ème édition du festival AiiA se déroule du 13 au 23 octobre et investi les 9 étages du Théâtre Saint-Gervais à Genève en proposant un festival expérimental en art et en intelligence artificielle. Au centre du projet un grand laboratoire de recherche et de questionnements philosophiques autour de l'IA avec : des conférences, une exposition, une résidence d'artistes et des ateliers pour enfants (et adultes ludiques). Au cœur du festival il y a Chimère, une intelligence artificielle multimodale développée pour la première édition du festival. Elle est capable d'interagir en utilisant du texte, des images et du son. Créé·e comme l'entité du festival AiiA, Chimère apprend en continu et s'enrichit de ses interactions avec les artistes et le public. Nous serons en compagnie de Jonathan O'Hear, co-directeur de l'AiiA festival.
The disruption of Finance has come in waves. Incumbents have moved from confidently ignoring the attempts of fintechs to transform the industry, to fearing death by a thousand cuts, to embracing the innovation and speed to market that many challengers and innovators bring to play. It is now clear, in a way that was not a few short years ago, that the synergies between incumbents and fintech startups are producing amazing win-win-win situations at unprecedented speeds. A company that has fully embraced the transformative power of fintech entrepreneurs is Mastercard, who not only has demonstrated its commitment to innovation through their recent acquisition of Danish Open Banking Front runner Aiia, but that today continues to empower fintech startups by making open banking rails available to them. We had a wonderful opportunity to sit down with Tanya Slavova, Head of Fintech Sales, Open banking at Aiia, a Mastercard company where we got to discuss how the marriage of open banking and payments is resulting in services and never-before seen convenience to fintechs and their customers. Learn how Mastercard is equipping fintechs with technology, scale and reach and how it supports entrepreneurship through programs that nourish and elevate many of the extraordinary fintech heroes leaving their mark in the Nordics today.

For the 100th episode of Australia in the World, Allan and Darren welcome Australia's Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator Penny Wong. Allan begins by asking the Minister “why this job?” given her heavy additional responsibilities, and how she is able to carve out “thinking time” given the non-stop nature of her role. The hosts are thrilled to hear that Senator Wong listens to the podcast, and even listened to recent episode where her own speeches were discussed! Darren raises her Kuala Lumpur speech with a question about the links between Australia's interests and its evolving modern identity. He then harks back to the Senator's first speech to the Australian Parliament, delivered in August 2002, to ask whether compassion – a central theme in that first speech – might play a role in managing some of Australia's most difficult relationships. He then asks what role foreign policy might play in boosting public trust in democratic institutions at home. The conversation turns to DFAT, and how Australia's diplomatic capability can best be augmented given most Commonwealth Government departments have international footprints. Darren cannot resist asking about Senate Estimates hearings, including the balance professional bureaucrats must strike between secrecy and accountability. Allan turns the conversation to agency – a long-running theme of the podcast – to ask whether and how foreign policy outcomes can be different under the new government. Allan also asks about how Australia can balance its regional versus global interests. We thank Annabel Howard for audio editing and Rory Stenning for composing our theme music. We also thank all the previous AIIA interns who have provided essential support to the podcast over the past four years. Allan and Darren also wish to express their heartfelt gratitude to listeners to this podcast. The only reason we reached our 100th episode is because of the encouragement, interest and feedback we have received from an audience that has continued to grow. We found an engaged and informed community of people who share our conviction that Australian foreign policy matters for everything we want to do as a country. We could not be more grateful for your support. Thank you.

On this week's podcast, we hear from our own athletic Director, Marisa Robinson who was recently a guest on the Staying Fit ODAAT podcast with Miggs. Listen as she describes her own upbringing, how recreation played a significant role in her life, and how she was instrumental in assisting our very own Coach Blu to step out of the darkness and into the light. The very foundation of the recreational aspects of this team come directly from her and you definitely gain more understanding as to why recreation plays such a significant role in recovery from drugs and alcohol, overcoming addictions of any kind as well as strengthening relationships from within.

This second half of the discussion begins with Australia-Indonesia relations. How does Indonesia see Australia? How much do the views expressed by President Widodo in a speech to the Australian Parliament reflect broader opinions among Indonesia's elite? Darren chimes in with a ‘cheeky' question about the Australian public's attitudes towards Indonesia—would it be preferable for the bilateral relationship to be as high profile in the media and public consciousness as that with China or the United States? And how can Australia increase its engagement with Indonesia? Is a “step up”—our approach in the South Pacific—the correct frame? The conversation turns outward. Allan asks Gary what he has concluded about ASEAN's capability “to carry the weight the rest of the world is putting on it”. And specifically, has the regional organisation's performance during the recent and ongoing Myanmar crisis surprised him? Allan then highlights a recent monograph published by the AIIA and authored by Michael Bliss, and for which Gary wrote the Afterword, about Australia's most recent term of the UN Security Council and our legacy. What is Gary's advice to the Australian government about how we can best contribute to the continuation of an effective multilateral system? Finally, Darren ends by asking Gary to reflect upon his entire career by asking whether there are any distinctively Australian characteristics that cause success or failure in Australian foreign policy. We thank Mitchell McIntosh for his help with research and audio editing and Rory Stenning for composing our theme music.

In an episode recorded on 24 June, Allan and Darren take a step back from the news to discuss an emerging theme in international affairs: the competition of systems, which arrays liberal democracies against various types of authoritarianism, with the China model most prominent. President Biden has made both restoring American democracy, and cooperation with likeminded democracies, core pillars of his foreign policy. Allan and Darren compare and contrast Biden's approach with the neoconservative vision from the early 2000s. What is notable is his inward focus on restoring the health of American democracy, which they agree is a necessary starting point. But what then does a “competition of systems” actually entail? Darren tries to articulate a concrete theory of the case, which leads into a longer discussion of the differences between foreign policy, diplomacy and grand strategy, and the extent to which the world has changed since the Treaties of Westphalia in 1648! While it's clear demonstrating the continuing success of democratic models is essential to western leadership of the international order, can democracy be an organising principle of international cooperation? Should the trajectory of other political systems be a matter of direct national interest? Is there a concrete policy agenda that does not collapse into the flawed neoconservative approach or complete hypocrisy? What does one do about “illiberal democracies” or “elected autocracies”? And where does Australia, and PM Morrison's call for a “world order that favours freedom”, fit in?

This week's episode tracks PM Scott Morrison's recent travels. We begin in Perth prior to his leaving the country with what Allan considers to be a major foreign policy speech. Why? Where Allan sees a definite break from decades of Australian foreign policy, Darren sees a speech responding to shifting political winds, especially with a new occupant in the White House. From Perth the PM flew to Singapore to meet with his counterpart PM Lee Hsien Loong. Lee offered some advice to Australia in its management of relations with China, which Allan wonders might signal a growing gap between Australia and Southeast Asia. Meanwhile, Darren tries to reconcile Lee's advice with comments made that same week by Defence Minister Peter Dutton. The PM then arrived in the UK for the G7 summit. Was it important that he was invited? And what did Allan and Darren make of the communique? What is most interesting perhaps is the apparent return to prominence of the G7, which had for more than a decade taken a backseat to the G20. As Allan says, this is likely because of who is not at the meeting, rather than who is. Scott Morrison then wrapped up his trip with the announcement of a free trade agreement with the UK (did it deliver much?) and getting solid support from President Macron in his bilateral with the French leader.

In the second half of this double episode with China expert Linda Jakobson, the conversation takes a broader focus. Allan begins with Taiwan, which has been in the headlines lately: how should we think about the dangers? What would it take for Beijing to use military force to resolve the situation? The bulk of the episode is about the Australia-China relationship. How does Linda interpret the decline in bilateral relations—how much is it Australia’s ‘fault’ and how much is it China’s? What is the pathway forward? Linda offers her view, and then Darren and Allan provide their own assessments. Has China made up its mind about Australia? Finally, how can the West influence China and shape its choices? Is the deterrence/engagement binary a useful frame for thinking about the options?

Allan and Darren welcome Linda Jakobson to the podcast. Linda is a leading China expert, and a vital voice in Australia’s own China debate. The conversation spans almost 100 minutes and will be released in two parts. At a time when the bilateral relationship is at a fresh low, this double episode offers genuine substance and depth on how one should understand China, diagnose the deterioration in Australia-China relations, and chart a pathway forward. Linda is the founding director (and currently deputy chair) of the not-for-profit China Matters, an independent Australian policy institute (Allan sits on its Board of Directors). Linda lived and worked for over 20 years in China, including as the Beijing-based Director of the China and Global Security Programme at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). She moved to Australia in 2011 to serve as Program Director (East Asia) at the Lowy Institute, and in 2015 she founded China Matters and was its first CEO until 2019. The focus in Part 1 is China itself. However, the conversation begins with Linda’s own personal story. Being Finnish, Allan wonders what Finland’s experience neighbouring a major power can teach Australia, while Darren asks whether Linda sees similarities between Finland’s approach and strategies in the region – are there “Finlands” in Asia? Turning to China itself, how has Linda’s understanding of China changed? And who is “China” when asking this question? Linda answers the question from different perspectives. Is China exceptional in what it wants? The conversation turns to domestic politics. What is the range of views inside the country on the direction China is taking? To what extent is there pushback against Xi Jinping’s approach, and what could be the mechanisms through which change comes? How big is China’s political elite, anyway? And how can observers even answer these questions, given the increasingly closed nature of the Chinese system. Is “Pekingology” going to resemble Kremlinology? Stay tuned for Part 2 of the conversation! As always, we invite our listeners to email us at this address: australia.world.pod [at] gmail.com We welcome feedback, requests and suggestions.

We speak with Ron Gauci, CEO of the Australian Information Industry Association to discuss their call for sufficient funding into Australia's national Artificial Intelligence (AI) strategy. The AIIA is calling on the Federal Government to allocate $250 million in the May budget to ensure Australia becomes a global leader in AI research and commercialisation and doesn’t fall behind its international peers. When the Government does announce its National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Strategy it must come with significant funding over the $29.9 million it currently contributes over four years. The Australian Government commissioned the Artificial Intelligence: Solving problems, growing the economy and improving our quality of life, in November 2019 to assist its AI Roadmap which outlines the many opportunities and benefits available from investing in a National AI Strategy. The AIIA is urging the Federal Government to support AI efforts, and focus on supporting R&D through to commercialisation of innovative products and services. This will help to maximise the return for Australian businesses and boost the AI sector and ensure our traditional industries remain internationally competitive including in agriculture, finance, health and manufacturing. #artificialintelligence #AIIA #AI For the full video interview, recorded 20 April, 2020 - available here https://youtu.be/BtlvpRcBbL8 Full release available here - https://smartcitiestech.io/2021/04/aiia-urges-morrison-government-to-fully-fund-a-national-ai-strategy/
With President Joe Biden announcing the forthcoming withdrawal of ground troops from Afghanistan, the West’s 20 year war in Afghanistan is drawing to a close. Allan and Darren open this week’s podcast with a discussion of whether this is the right decision, and what lessons we should take from this decades-long conflict. The episode then turns to a busy week in bilateral relations with China for both New Zealand and Australia. Kiwi Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta gave her first major speech on China, and followed it with some controversial comments (in Australia, at least) about the expansion of the remit of the Five Eyes intelligence grouping. Meanwhile, the Australian government used purpose-built legislation to cancel two memoranda of understanding between the Victorian state government and the Chinese government on the Belt and Road Initiative – to Beijing’s predictable displeasure. Does this past week reveal a split in the two countries’ approach to China? What is the logic of each approach? Finally, Japan’s Prime Minister Suga met with Joe Biden at the White House, with China front and centre of the discussion—what are the major takeaways? We thank AIIA intern Dominique Yap for research and audio editing, and thanks also to Rory Stenning for composing our theme music.

The primary focus of this week’s episode is the terrible situation in Myanmar as the Tatmadaw, the country’s military, cements its coup with increasing levels of violence. Allan’s first posting was to the country and so he leads off with a personal reflection of great sorrow. Turning to analysis, what was the cause of the conflict and to what extent did the country’s civilian government, led by Aung San Suu Kyi, play a role? Is the military sufficiently powerful that it will inevitably be a major player in Myanmar’s political future, analogous to the Taliban in Afghanistan or the Assad regime in Syria? Does Myanmar need a Nehru-like figure? Turning to the international dimension, what are the policy challenges facing Washington, Beijing and New Delhi? Is this an opportunity for China to display regional security leadership, and what is the place of sovereignty in this discussion? Is this an existential crisis for ASEAN? Darren is intrigued by elite debates on the issue within Singapore, which leads to a wider discussion of ASEAN’s balancing act between maintaining unity and upholding the principle of non-interference, versus newer interests in shaping the emerging regional order. Turning to Australia—what are our interests and can we somehow play a positive force? Allan raises a curious question regarding whether the Australian government’s policy is to recognise only states, or whether it can recognise specific governments, as it did with Venezuela in 2019. The discussion then moves to Papua New Guinea and its devastating Covid-19 outbreak. Darren describes some of the factors that distinguish this particular humanitarian crisis, and asks Allan what the balance is for Australia between moral imperative and strategic interest. Darren wonders whether pandemic disinformation on social media might be a spark to begin a discussion of broader social responsibility for companies like Facebook. Finally, Peter Dutton is the new Defence Minister. Darren asks Allan to reflect on the unique challenges of the portfolio, and why so many of Dutton’s predecessors seem to have had limited success.

Agency Nation Radio - Insurance Marketing, Sales and Technology
It's not the easiest thing to do for the people buying it or the agents selling it. There's a good chance it might all come down to communication and how much may or may not be happening. It's always the person who has something to say that's responsible for the action after they say it. Which certainly includes no action at all. That's where we find ourselves more often then we should across the industry. These are just a few of the things I sat down to talk with Bill Sager, Executive Director and Jeff Grice State National Director for AIIA in Alabama. P.S. We got a lot of people showing up for insurance here.
A true roundtable discussion of six sigma in AIIA. A few key quotes: "Very early stages, we tried to roll out Kaizen ahead of the robotics piece, so there were two separate things that then we pulled together. The biggest challenge is getting peoples' time. So, trying to do the sales pitch to very resource squeezed operational areas, say "Give me your people to come in and talk to me about prices improvement," and drive their own prices improvement rather than answer a phone call when we're under immense pressure. That is the main challenge, so embedding it is the kicker." "I have a Six Sigma background, but at the moment, we're working to embed that within the organization I'm in, and also work at embedding RPA as well, so we've embedded RPA for probably about the last 18 months, so we're doing a bit of backtrack in terms of we've done some RPA stuff, now let's put some Lean and CI side of it in, and how do we make sure that we're not automating rubbish." "It's amazing. We've got so much sponsorship it's incredible. What we don't have is all the peripheral processes that are needed, Lean enough, to actually go." "If you're going to put in a rapid or a streamlined development, it's going to cost you between 30 and 50 thousand pounds. You need two people straight away. When you got 350 processes or 340 processes, it makes it harder, so you're naturally, you think you got 340 processes to go after, but when look at all of the transformational road maps that are going on and already looking at driving out opportunities and value, it makes it really hard to go after certain things." "What you should be looking to do is standardize your processes, digitize them where you can, put your continuous improvement lens on it, and then we'll automate what's left. The people who are going, while they're under significant cross-challenges, they're going straight to the automate the hell out of my process."
