Today's podcast is one of the most positive and optimistic I think I have ever recorded. Andrew Horton Group CEO of QBE has been in the role long enough to have been able to reap some of the rewards of the changes he has made at the global insurer since he took over the top job. Having dealt with legacy issues and posted some remarkable results that have validated his strategy – the mood from this interview is 100% forward-looking and upbeat. Andrew's QBE has a spring in its step and a growth plan to execute into a global insurance and reinsurance market that seems to be throwing up opportunities almost wherever you look. It certainly helped that this was recorded on a pleasant early spring day in London, with plenty of sun in the sky and blossom on the trees, but the difference between this interview and the last one I did with Andrew two years ago is palpable. Today, Andrew is buzzing with energy and good humour and has audibly grown in confidence. In this discussion we make light work of all the issues of the day, taking in topics as diverse as Reinsurance, D&I, the long-term trends of facilitisation and algorithmic underwriting and their consequences, Lloyd's and the London Market, and insuring the transition. So listen on as we take a world tour of market opportunities and a refreshed and revitalised player looking to seize the moment. If you are feeling jaded and in need a tonic – this is just what the doctor ordered!

Aquarium Drunkard - SIDECAR (TRANSMISSIONS) - Podcast

This week, we have an exceedingly rare interview with Jason Martin, of California dream pop band Starflyer 59. Fermented in the nascent Riverside dream pop underground alongside his brother Ronnie Martin of Joy Electric in the early '90s, Martin's band SF59 released its debut album, Silver, 30 years ago in 1994 on the fledgling Tooth & Nail label. His latest, Lust for Gold, finds him winking knowingly at the title of his 1995 album Gold, a record routinely cited as one of the best shoegaze albums of all-time. Incorporating elements of the band's feedback-drenched early sound, the new album finds the years catching up with a guy who has been singing about being old since he was in his early 20s. From the band's monochromatic album covers to Martin's notoriously sparse interviews—check out the one we did at Aquarium Drunkard for an example—he's always preferred to let the music do the talking.  But this talk finds him settling in for a longform chat about his history, his songwriting practice, how familial connections bind his musical projects, and much, much more. Joined by guest co-host/interlocuteur Andrew Horton, this conversation is the most revealing interview to date with Jason Martin of Starflyer 59. Aquarium Drunkard is supported by our subscribers.

How do you get big, globally diversified insurance companies to innovate? It's something that we all know is way easier said than done. That's what today's podcast is really all about. Today I'm joined by two senior executives who are working together to implement change, improve efficiency and do new things at global insurer QBE. Global Head of Cyber Serene Davis has been tasked with creating a global offering for cyber at QBE, where up to now development has been patchy, with different strategies playing out in various markets across the world. And CEO of QBE Ventures James Orchard runs a small team whose job it is to assist senior executives like Serene in realising their vision through the partnerships and strategic investments that will build up the tech providers that will help them achieve their goals. It's a fascinating conversation and one that embodies QBE's relatively new CEO Andrew Horton's plan to imbue a culture of innovation across the group globally. Indeed Mr Horton may not be on the show himself in this Episode, but his presence never seems to be far from the surface. It's clear from this lively chat that if you want to instil change and a culture of innovation you have to lead from the top and you have to resource it and be strong enough to accept that there will be many twists and turns on the road to eventual success. Listen for yourself – for anyone who is grappling with the challenge of keeping a large insurance business up to speed and relevant, without throwing out the parts of its culture that have already got it to where it is, this will be a valuable listen.

Are you keen for your business to remain aligned with the latest innovations across the industry? Would you like to learn more about how new digital processes and platforms can energise and streamline your productive output? In this episode of the Insurance Broker Podcast, we are very pleased to be speaking with Merlin Beyts, Head of Content at ITC DIA Europe! In conversation with Boston Tullis' Sarah Myerscough, he explains what attendees can expect at the business' exciting upcoming event at the Fira Gran Via in Barcelona, from 27th to 29th June! Uniting leading experts from across the industry, and giving a voice to professionals from adjacent industries, the event intends to further propel the future of insurance, facilitating discussion between insurers, brokers and Insurtech innovators.   Quote of the Episode “What I've noticed working in events… is you sometimes can fall into the trap of having the same conversations about the same things, and you really do need those innovators to sometimes say something that's perhaps controversial, say something that perhaps people don't necessarily want to hear. It's always great to have those innovative opinions so that we can really drive things forward.” The ITC DIA Europe event intends to provide a springboard for innovation, by hosting speakers who will push boundaries and encourage introspection for attending businesses, to evaluate how they can embrace new technology and form partnerships with which to stride confidently into the future. With so much change constantly rattling the industry, precipitated by the necessitated transformations during the COVID pandemic, it is through embracing change and constant innovation that insurers and brokers alike can continue to thrive throughout the unforeseeable.   Key Takeaways The ITC DIA Event intends to promote widespread innovation across the industry, by uniting Insurtech creators alongside traditional brokers and insurers under one roof. There are many businesses out there who can help the traditional insurance industry to drive innovation, and the event aims to facilitate discussions and promote collaboration between the old and the new. This is reflected in the structural hybridity of the conference, combining a traditional approach whereby everyone can move around and meet different exhibitors, alongside a ‘festival feel' whereby people can sit down, relax, and have meaningful conversations and create powerful connections. Through this approach, the event aims to enable both Insurtech innovators and insurers and brokers to achieve their business goals, attaining the confidence to incorporate new digital practices. Merlin notes that some brokers have expressed a reluctance towards adopting new digital tools, perhaps for fear that it may eventually lead to certain areas of traditional broking becoming obsolete in the face of startlingly adaptable artificial intelligence. Yet, he argues that truly successful businesses will be those that embrace change. The ultimate focus of the event is the future of our industry. Where will insurance be in a few years' time, and what changes does your business need to make to remain in the running? To book your ticket, visit the registration page on ICT DIA's website, linked below!   Best Moments/Key Quotes “One of the big things that we are incredibly keen to make sure is on the agenda is just how many enablers there are out there who can help the insurance industry really drive innovation.  That's the whole goal of everything that we do, whether it's an event, whether it's a webinar, is to is to push the industry forward.”   “If you're an insurance provider looking to looking to accelerate your innovation, looking to automate your underwriting processes, improve your claims experience, we've got all of those people that can help you do that. Similarly, if you are looking to engage with those people from a tech provider side, or even from an MGA standpoint looking to partner up with carriers who have a large customer base, we're going to have a lot of those people in the room as well.”   “There's a quote that I read from Andrew Horton, when he was CEO of Beazley and is now the Group CEO of QBE Insurance. [He] said, essentially, change is inevitable, and the truly successful people are going to be the ones that embrace change. I think, hopefully, we're going to see more adoption of digitization at the broker side of things.”   “The key word is innovation. But what we want to make sure we're doing is taking innovation, which is a very broad term, and actually put that into action. How do you get better? How do you actually improve your customer experience?”   Resources Register to attend ICT DIA Europe in June: https://www.digitalinsuranceagenda.com/events/itcdia-europe/registration-itc-dia-europe/   About the Guest Merlin Beyts is the Head of Content at ITC DIA Europe.

Today's guest is Andrew Horton Group CEO of QBE insurance. His job is to run a global insurer and reinsurer that writes over $20bn in gross premium that originates from almost every market in the world. The business has just posted a very solid set of results and at the same time issued guidance for this good run to continue in 2023. Andrew has been in post for around 18 months and in this podcast it becomes clear that he has had enough time in charge to start to execute some of his own vision. It's not wholesale change, but it is quietly radical. QBE has been built and integrated by his predecessors over the last 20 years, so the job today is not about filling in gaps with acquisitions. The group is already global and hugely diversified. Today's job is about optimising the business's global processes, product and people to create a consistently profitable, and innovative firm that can continue to grow organically. This is clearly easier said than done, particularly in a business run as three divisions and present in almost every time zone on the planet. And that is the core of the interview today. Andrew is a very thoughtful and very accessible leader. His ideas on how to make a large global business more cohesive, coherent and consistent while at the same time being fast-paced, nimble and efficient are extremely valuable. He is trying to bring a small enterprise mindset to a huge global insurance group and that is a radical goal to try and pursue. From today's talk I wouldn't bet against him. I can highly recommend a close listen. LINKS We thank our naming sponsor AdvantageGo: https://www.advantagego.com/

In a time where we are inundated with superhero shows that dare to be different, here's another one. Developed for Netflix by Steven S. DeKnight, Jupiter's Legacy is the superhero drama series based of the Image comic book series by Mark Millar and Frank Quitely. Sang Kyu Kim served as showrunner. Luke and Jae check out this new series, which stars Josh Duhamel, Ben Daniels, Leslie Bibb, Elena Kampouris, Andrew Horton, Mike Wade, and Matt Lanter. Shortly after his father's suicide in 1929, former businessman Sheldon Sampson creates a superhero team called the Union of Justice, and his guiding ideals – never kill anyone, never interfere in political matters – remain unchanged over the near-century of his adventures as The Utopian. However, the next generation of superheroes, including his children, struggles to live up to his rigid ideals and high expectations. When Sheldon's son, Brandon, seemingly kills one of their greatest foes, it ignites a public debate over whether those ideals are still relevant.

Jupiter's Legacy is an American superhero streaming television series developed by Steven S. DeKnight, based on the Image comic book series by Mark Millar and Frank Quitely, that premiered on Netflix on May 7, 2021. The series stars Josh Duhamel, Ben Daniels, Leslie Bibb, Elena Kampouris, Andrew Horton, Mike Wade, and Matt Lanter. The central figure is the Utopian, but to his family, he is merely Sheldon Sampson (Duhamel), a man struggling between being the family patriarch who’s attempting to instill some morals in his now-grown children, and being the flawless, visionary superhero the world needs. Filling out the gaps of the immediate family are his wife Grace (Leslie Bibb in a fitting come full circle moment since the first Iron Man) aka Lady Liberty; his brother Walter (Ben Daniels) aka Brainwave; his son, Brandon (Andrew Horton) aka The Paragon, who is trying desperately to live up to his father’s image; and estranged daughter Chloe (Elena Kampouris) who has left the superhero life behind to pursue the celebrity route.

In Episode 26, Amy and Diego, with guest host Mark, take an in-depth look at Jupiter's Legacy, starring Josh Duhamel, Ben Daniels, Leslie Bibb, Andrew Horton, Elena Kampouris, Matt Lanter, and Mike Wade. Jupiter's Legacy is based on the comic book series of the same title. This Netflix original series takes the comic series, changes some storyline items and focuses on the central idea of worthiness and the question of "should superheroes kill?" The series tells the story of a union of superheroes who are nearing the time when they should pass the mantle to the next generation, but are unsure of their worthiness, while balancing the alternate story of how these same superheroes proved their own worth to gain their powers. Amy, Diego and Mark give their thoughts about the series, as well as discuss what else is coming up for them on Netflix.

Andrew Horton, Motivational Sales Speaker and Sales Enablement specialist, joined Regional Host for Africa, Dave Nel, to explore learning ecosystems and the state of Enablement in Africa.While there is a lot of great insights in here, here are two areas that I want to call out specifically in terms of building a great training approach.1️⃣ Understand what are the organization's core challenges. Dig in and understand what challenges the business is having, what is working well, and how they work. As part of this, dig into what the top sellers are doing , understand their activities and replicate them.Package these activities up for others to replicated.2️⃣Dig into individual sales strengths and weaknesses to create a specific coaching plan for each individual.The goal, of course, is to custom-tailor learning and coaching so that each individual is raised up, along with the team, as you move towards better achieving your corporate goals.Give a listen and remain curious.

This week on Transmissions, we welcome back a return guest: desert scribe and radio personality Ken Layne. He’s the editor of Desert Oracle, a pocket-sized field guide to the American Southwest and the host of Desert Oracle Radio, a weekly late-night broadcast out of Joshua Tree. With synthesist RedBlueBlackSilver in tow, Layne offers up tales of the paranormal, the odd, and the arcane. Layne illuminates these damned and or transcendent topics with good humor and dusty charm.  This week, he releases a new book which collects and expands stories from the program and the magazine, Desert Oracle Volume 1: Strange and True Tales From the American Southwest. He joins us for a far-reaching conversation about the new book, the allure of the weird, the late ’80s underground music scenes of Southern California, the early days of digital publishing, conspiracy theory and literature, the disenchantment of modern life, and of course, venturing into the spiritual wilderness represented by the desert.  Transmissions is hosted and produced by Jason P.

It’s a blend of subterranean bass, spooky backwards masked poetry, and shifting, nocturnal soundscapes designed to entrance, inviting you to examine your “preconceived relationship with darkness, guiding you to step into it—to play in it.”    Mambouka took some time out of a weekend last month to speak with us about her global backstory, discuss how DJing influenced her alchemical approach, and play around with the concept of darkness.     We hope you enjoy this one.

This episode's guest is the CEO of one of Lloyd's standout performers of the past two decades. Beazley is a blue-chip Lloyd's business that has consistently maintained top quartile performance while growing fast and continuing to innovate. Because of this any time in the presence of Andrew Horton is time well spent. In this episode we talk about the hardening market, the world that awaits the Class of 2020, Lloyd's reforms, including syndicate in a box, lead-follow and the use of automation to remove costs from the syndicated market. We also discuss, the prospect of the big three brokers becoming the big two, Andrew's total aversion to bold transformational M&A – except when it doesn't involve Beazley and of course, Covid-19 and how long a tail it is likely to be. It's a great way of getting a feel for what is front of mind at one of the specialty insurance and reinsurance world's top outfits.
