Highlights from the Show American Modern, part of Munich Re, is a Personal Lines Specialty carrier, focused on risks standard carriers don't tend to write like manufactured, vacant and vacation homes; boats, RVs, collector vehicles, etc. American Modern is on their second major transformation, with the first being almost a rebuilding of the entire company to enable the second transformation they're working on today They had 60 products, with different versions of each one in each state Multiple core systems Different agent agreements and commission structures Multiple writing companies to manage all of this across This all made change to difficult, even for simpler ones The decision was to change everything, meaning revamping the entire org from the ground up, in what they refer to as an inside-out transformation 1 technology platform (Guidewire) 1 underwriting company Clean up the products and processes, and move to just 11 products 1 commission structure for all agents The biggest change was the people part because everything every employee did would be impacted This took 8+ years, starting in 2013/2014, which meant it was started by one CEO and persisted in by a new CEO The new transformation they've recently begun is to move their operation to the cloud and digitizing everything external to the company In hindsight, some changes or things they'd do differently Go to the Cloud from the start (which wasn't an option when they did the first transformation) Planning for the go-to-market much earlier, recognizing the complexities in launching in each state despite what seemed to be the same across states, which they pivoted early to doing but would have done from the start looking back While they did change management internally, they learned how important it is, and upped their game in that respect in the second transformation Lastly, don't outsource your transformation, absolving yourself of responsibility to do it or knowledge of what's been done, so be sure to balance in-house and consultant resources This episode is brought to you by The Future of Insurance Volume III.

If you have ever wanted to shoot the breeze with a gallerist, you will want to pay close attention to this episode of The Art Biz. I'm joined today by Jeremy Tessmer, the gallery director at Sullivan Goss Gallery in Santa Barbara, California. In our conversation, Jeremy shares his views of artist's professionalism, what he thinks of online platforms, and how he taught himself art history (and why that was important to him). Jeremy describes Sullivan Goss as an on-ramp for collectors and artists—one that connects their roster of local, regional, national, and international artists. You'll hear him discuss 3 qualities that he looks for in artists, two of which are non-negotiable, and how he views the artists in his gallery as a family. He says that “dealers should have some sense of responsibility for the well-being of their artists,” and, as you listen to our conversation, you'll understand why that has become so important to him. Highlights The niche that the Sullivan Goss Gallery fills and Jeremy's role within it. (2:37) Sullivan Goss is an on-ramp gallery with the aim of expanding the art world. (7:49) The different art world need to become more aware of each other. (10:05) Jeremy's journey from writer and tech specialist to art gallerist. (14:04) Is it important for artists to be steeped in art history? (23:34) Overcoming the anxiety of influence to connect with other artists. (26:21) The 3 qualities Jeremy looks for in the artists he represents. (33:30) The responsibility a gallery has for nurturing its artists' careers. (36:10) The value of understanding the long game and defining your real interest in an artist's career. (41:11) Things an artist should never say or do to gain the attention of a gallerist. (46:18)   Mentioned Sullivan Goss Gallery Alfred Stieglitz's Gallery- An American Place Milton Avery exhibition at The Wadsworth Atheneum David Zwirner's Platform Harold Bloom's Anxiety of Influence Susan McDonnell Art Sullivan Goss on Instagram @sullivangoss Jeremy Tessmer Arts on Instagram @jeremyarts   The Art Biz Connection Optimize Your Online Marketing   Resources Show notes, images, and listener comments How to Price Your Art free report Art Biz Connection artist membership   Guest Bio Jeremy Tessmer is the Gallery Director and Curator of vintage American art at Sullivan Goss. He has been with the firm almost 20 years, working in every area of the business, including: curation, sales, marketing, and design of everything from exhibition spaces to internal databases and processes. He has special knowledge of the American Modern movement, especially as it occurred on the West Coast. He has also been heavily involved with the gallery's publication program, helping to produce nineteen books and numerous catalogs, including those on local artists Ray Strong and Hank Pitcher.  

It really matters what today's guest thinks. This is because he has one of the biggest and most influential underwriting and insurance and reinsurance management jobs in the world. Stefan Golling serves on Munich Re's Board of Management and until recently was its Chief Underwriter. He also looks after Global Clients, the North America Division and oversees HSB and American Modern as well as the Lloyd's and Bermuda markets. What I enjoy about talking to Stefan is his disarming frankness. He speaks very clearly for someone in such an elevated position in our industry. In our chat we cover everything anyone would want to know ahead of the first of January 2022 renewals. Up until now many have described reinsurers as a relatively benign influence, content to ride on the coat-tails of their cedants as they remediated their books and brought pricing back into line. Now I'll leave you to decide if this is just a little bravado on Stefan's part ahead of upcoming renewal negotiations, but from this encounter I would expect to see reinsurers digging in a little more than they have been up until now.

Liz and Maris sketch out a very quick overview of American Modern Dance!  Full disclosure, we decided to rerecord this episode because our first try was too long and we only got to the 1960s (that's only halfway through...). We do a much better job this time around if we do say so ourselves. We hit on dancing in the woods, Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham, José Limón, Katherine Dunham, Merce Cunningham, Jerome Robbins, Alvin Ailey, and so many more. Liz and Maris also talk about separating art from the artists and cancel culture. And the painter that Maris can't remember the name of is Paul Gauguin.  Dancers Did That? is a dance history podcast by dancers, not historians. We welcome comments and corrections! --- This episode is sponsored by Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

If you fast-forward to 18:55, Patti shares her thoughts on the new opportunities and challenges that are on the horizon as the insurance industry begins to reckon with the legalization of cannabis across the United States.

We will cover not only his individual exploits in surgery, but also his vast influence on the turning of surgery in America from an unorganized almost self-taught job to a true profession, changing the way surgery is done and taught almost single-handedly. And of course, we'll take a few side roads, looking at the history of Johns Hopkins and cocaine, and more!

How does an author craft a work that speaks across the boundaries of dance studies, Jewish studies and gender studies? What does it mean for dance to function as a site for probing complex questions of racial, ethnic and cultural identity? How do choreographers respond to the prompt, “make a Jewish dance?” What does all of this have to tell us about the ways in which Jewish identities show up onstage both historically and contemporarily? I was grateful to engage these questions with dancer, choreographer and historian, Rebecca Rossen (pronounced “Ross – in”,) author of Dancing Jewish: Jewish Identity in American Modern and Postmodern Dance (Oxford University Press, 2014). Rebecca's groundbreaking work probes the ways in which American Jewish choreographers use dance as a site to interrogate personal and collective identities while articulating social and political agendas and challenging stereotypes. Rossen critically engages with the work of Anna Sokolow, Pauline Koner, David Dorfman, Liz Lerman and others in examining how they use dance as a space for the creative construction, imagining and re-imagining of Jewish identities. Including over 50 photographs and a companion website with video clips, Dancing Jewish is a resource for dance educators and historians as well. Rebecca Rossen is Assistant Professor of Theatre and Dance at The University of Texas at Austin. A dance historian, performance scholar, and choreographer , her research interests include modern and postmodern dance, stagings of identity in physical performance, and the relationship between research and practice. Her own choreography has been presented in venues throughout her hometown of Chicago, as well as in Cleveland, Philadelphia, and Israel.
