Dive into Episode #145 of the Psych Health and Safety USA Podcast, featuring host Dr. I. David Daniels, PhD, CSD, VPS, and special guest Louise Esola, a workers' compensation-focused journalist with Business Insurance, a role she has held for nearly 20 years. Psychological injuries are often more challenging to quantify than physical injuries, and the compensation awarded can depend on factors such as the severity of the condition, its impact on the employee's ability to perform their job, and the evidence provided to support the claim. Workers' compensation is handled differently in every state in the United States and even within the same state when it comes to psychological injuries.

The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) held a briefing about Congress's role in bolstering the long-term resilience, investability, and insurability of U.S. communities. Insurance premiums have increased by an average of 21% since 2015, and almost 67% of U.S. homes are underinsured. This raises significant questions about the ability of American households to affordably manage the risks they face from increasingly severe and frequent disasters like wildfires and storm-induced flooding. This briefing explored the basics of property insurance and how it functions in the United States, including the challenges faced by individuals, businesses, insurers, and reinsurers. It also featured existing and emerging tools—from parametric insurance to climate endorsements—that are reshaping how insurance products can better serve communities. Panelists described the role of federal policy in advancing these new ways of thinking about insurance. At this briefing, Woodwell Climate Research Center also be launched a new report, Rebuilding Insurance for a Climate Future: A Policy Guide to Understand Tools, Address Inequities, and Find Solutions.

In this episode of the Sunlight Podcast, I'm unpacking some of the biggest myths I hear about forming an LLC. If you're self-employed or thinking about business formation, it's so important to understand what an LLC really is—and what it isn't. I talk through common misconceptions about taxes, liability protection, whether an LLC makes you a “real” legal entity, and how much ongoing accounting or paperwork is actually needed. I also share why business insurance is still essential (yes, even if you have an LLC), and how good financial advice can help you make smart choices for your business. Plus, I give a sneak peek at my upcoming book, Taxes for Humans, where I go even deeper into LLCs, business structures, and all the stuff no one teaches you when you become self-employed.   00:00 Introduction to LLC Myths 04:43 Myth 1: LLCs Change Your Taxes 08:28 Myth 2: LLCs Make Your Business Official 10:25 Myth 3: LLCs Are the Only Protection 13:12 Myth 4: LLCs Are Set It and Forget It   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, review and share it!

In this episode of the ROCC Pod, we interview Jordan Burns, owner of Honest Insurance Brokers, who takes us through his journey in the insurance industry, starting with how he launched and sold his first business during the pandemic. Jordan shares how he moved from life insurance and financial advising into property and casualty insurance, eventually deciding to strike out on his own, driven by a desire to offer more personalized services to a wider range of clients.Jordan explains the difference between insurance agents and brokers, emphasizing how brokers can work with multiple carriers, giving clients better options for home, auto, and other types of coverage. This flexibility sets him apart, allowing him to tailor policies based on individual needs and avoid the "auto-renewal trap" many consumers fall into. He describes his approach to educating clients by presenting them with a few different coverage options and walking them through each one. This transparency is a core part of his business philosophy, which is reflected in the company name, Honest Insurance Brokers.We also dive into important topics like when to make a claim and the implications it can have on future premiums. Jordan emphasizes the importance of consulting with an agent before filing a claim, as many people regret filing small claims when the payout doesn't justify the potential increase in premiums. He also talks about the CLUE report, a tool used in real estate to check prior insurance claims on a home—a crucial step for homebuyers to avoid surprises.Toward the end of the episode, Jordan touches on Michigan's complicated car insurance laws and the significance of Qualified Healthcare Coverage (QHC), which can allow drivers to opt out of some auto insurance coverage and save money. He shares insights into how to navigate the crowded insurance market, pointing out that while big companies advertise to build brand awareness, lesser-known carriers might offer better rates because they don't spend as much on advertising.In addition to his business insights, Jordan is deeply involved in his community. He's been instrumental in the Young Professionals Group within the Royal Oak Chamber of Commerce, fostering networking opportunities for young professionals in the area.Honest Insurance Brokers - honestinsurancebrokers.com Learn more about the Royal Oak Chamber of Commerce: https://www.royaloakchamber.com/Connect with our hosts:Jon Gay from JAG in Detroit Podcasts - http://www.jagindetroit.com/Lisa Bibbee from Keller Williams - http://soldbylisab.com/
