Rob joins Mark in this episode to have an open and frank Q&A all about business. They discuss why stress is important to be successful, how you can market effectively as well as the people they look up to in business and much more! KEY TAKEAWAYS  Your business only grows as well as you do, how you deal with challenges, stress and pressure make a big difference. Business is a series of dealing with problems and fixing them. Looking after yourself physically and mentally allows you to perform better in your business. Remove any stress that you can and become single-minded when working. There is negative and positive stress and you can change a stress simply by your perception and mindset. Anyone who can deal with stress positively will become successful. Rob and Mark both believe that they balance each other out and neither would be as successful without the other. They are as close as you can get to the perfect business partnership. Always make sure you know where you are spending your marketing money and where you are getting successful leads. Then ensure you take these leads through a buying cycle and track this too. It's important to know where to focus your energy in business, especially when opportunities arise. Mark and Rob have found it better to focus on industries they have passion and knowledge for. With the economic difficulties, the UK is facing right now there will be opportunities. If we learn from '08 then people will be accepting less risk and the biggest opportunities will be in around 18 months or so. BEST MOMENTS   “80% of what people try and get you to do in your day is nonsense” “The day before holiday everybody gets 2 weeks of work done…that's positive stress” “I think it's good to focus on a couple of businesses and focus on them” “Doing something that you're passionate about and that you enjoy it, makes you good at it” “I love all this because you can get in, get a lot more assets with a lot less money and less risk” “You only get these opportunities a few times in your life” VALUABLE RESOURCES  https://www.youtube.com/user/progressiveproperty https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/the-progressive-co-founders/ ABOUT THE HOST Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003.

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) PromptDescribed by Jay Schwedelson:Start by asking ChatGPT:“I'm looking for the best software for [your industry/problem].”If your company doesn't show up in the answer, follow up with:“What prompt should I use to audit and optimize my website so that it becomes a top recommendation when someone asks that question?”Then feed it your URL and ask for specific improvements.3.

How much money do you need to be happy, what is true wealth and when to save are just some of the questions Rob answers in this money secrets episode. Rob also reveals how to be in the top 1%, the difference between wealth and being rich and how he became a millionaire at 30 and more! KEY TAKEAWAYS You can have a high net worth without having much cash to actually spend. Money and happiness aren’t often related. What money can do is give you freedom to live the life you choose which can often make you happy. Money isn’t simply currency but represents value, that has been created and that can be exchanged. There are people who can make money but don’t know how to manage and master it so never become rich. This is one of the things Rob teaches. You should only save in order to invest. You can’t get rich from saving. Multiple streams of income will protect you financially in a number of different ways, particularly when there are unforeseen circumstances that disrupt your income streams. BEST MOMENTS “As I've aged I'd probably value wealth more than riches now” “You can be a millionaire and not be that financially free” “Most people unfortunately are broke” “What the fuck does the BBC know about being rich?” “I don’t see money as currency anymore, I see it as value” “Saving makes you broke, you cannot save yourself to wealth” “Multiple streams of income isn’t just a luxury, it’s a necessity” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to James Birch, Director of Strategic Technology Solutions at Ki Insurance—the first fully algorithmic syndicate in the history of Lloyd’s of London. In today’s conversation, we’ll explore: James’s journey from VC to algorithmic-underwriting pioneer, what a “director of strategic technology solutions” actually does day-to-day inside a digital syndicate, the partnerships, cloud architecture and data streams that let Ki quote in seconds, the biggest trends shaping Algorithmic Underwriting 2.0—and what they mean for brokers, capacity partners and the wider market, and practical take-aways for anyone who wants to thrive as the next wave of automation rolls through speciality insurance KEY TAKEAWAYS Ki is a growth stage business, not an incumbent, we’re trying to fight our way to win business and ultimately to grow. We have to do something different from everyone else to try to position ourselves differently and find competitive advantage where we can. That’s something I’ve carried over from the VC space. We started out looking at what the digital model of the traditional model, where was the toil in the value chain and the broker’s work plan process and how can we simplifying it and make it more efficient using digital capabilities that we saw in the VC space, in FinTech and other financial service industries. Lloyds of London is a heavily regulated market so we need to abide by any of the regulations that any carrier or underwriter do in that market. Our approach from day 1 was to engage with the regulator early, explain what we’re trying to do, be transparent, open and honest about where the gaps are if we’d not got to a certain level of maturity, don’t overstate the algorithm. We take regulation very seriously, which has helped because Lloyds has been highly supportive of us and our growth and have allowed us to grow as the market has grown. The main cost-save of the algorithmic underwriting for brokers is they don’t have to have loads of brokers running around the Lloyds of London building to find 2% on a slip or something, the broker negotiates with the lead underwriter, come onto the Ki platform for the follow, and then spend their time on new business and client opportunities. BEST MOMENTS ‘Any business should evolve as the market evolves and the marketing dynamics changes, you’ve got to react to those and be thinking 2-5 years ahead.’ ‘We still trip up on ourselves, even now, because we sometimes try to over-complicate things.’ ‘Speak to the customer, hear their problems, understand what’s not working for them, try to make it a simple transaction for them, and then they’ll use your products.’ ‘I’m a big advocate of the partner model because if you get 2, 3, or 4 like-minded companies as partners you can build something great together because you’re all strategically aligned.’ ABOUT THE GUEST James Birch is the Director of Strategic Technology Solutions at Ki Insurance, the market-leading algorithmic syndicate that’s redefining how Lloyd’s of London does business. Blending a venture-capital mindset with hands-on operating rigor, James has spent the past decade helping innovative companies move from bright idea to breakout scale. Passionate about demystifying insurance for the next generation, James is a sought-after speaker on topics such as data-driven risk selection, the future of algorithmic capacity and what it really takes to scale a regulated tech business. Whether mentoring founders or road-testing the latest ML models with his engineers, he’s driven by one simple goal: use technology to make risk transfer faster, fairer and radically more efficient.
