In this episode of The Edge of Risk Podcast by IRMI, Joel Appelbaum speaks with Cherie Baker, vice president of enterprise risk management at Ilitch Companies, about how captive insurance can serve as a strategic tool for managing risk, deploying capital, and supporting business growth. Ms. Baker shares her career journey through brokerage, healthcare, automotive, and enterprise risk management, and explains how Tenda, the organization's captive insurer, has evolved from its original employee benefits focus into a broader risk financing vehicle supporting multiple lines of coverage. The conversation explores how Tenda utilizes both the Michigan and Cayman domiciles, works alongside commercial insurers and reinsurers, and evaluates opportunities across health, property, casualty, management liability, executive life, and other emerging risks. Ms. Baker discusses the importance of aligning captive strategy with organizational objectives, building relationships across diverse business units, and continuously reassessing captive utilization as market conditions change. She also shares insights into the role of entrepreneurship in captive innovation, the value of industry involvement through Captive Insurance Companies Association and Amplify Women, and why organizations should regularly revisit how their captives can support evolving and interconnected risks.

In this special co-hosted episode of The Jess Larsen Show on Innovation & Leadership, Jess Larsen is joined by top Compass broker Holly Parker for a fascinating conversation with Cayman Islands attorney Daniel Altneu of Bedell Cristin. Together, they unpack why the Cayman Islands has become one of the world's most sought-after destinations for ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family offices, entrepreneurs, and global investors. Daniel breaks down the realities behind Cayman residency, offshore structuring, wealth migration, tax strategy, and succession planning — while separating fact from Hollywood fiction about the islands. The discussion explores why affluent families from the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Dubai, and beyond are increasingly relocating assets, businesses, and even future generations to Cayman for lifestyle, privacy, safety, and long-term financial planning. Jess and Holly also dive into the cultural transformation happening in Cayman: world-class dining, luxury real estate, understated wealth, elite healthcare, international schools, and a growing reputation as a discreet alternative to places like Monaco, Dubai, and St. Barts. Along the way, they discuss family office trends, crypto migration, global mobility, co-ownership luxury properties, and what the future of wealth movement may look like in a rapidly changing world. Whether you're curious about international residency, wealth preservation, offshore law, or simply why so many influential people are quietly choosing Cayman, this episode offers an insider look at one of the world's fastest-growing hubs for global wealth and lifestyle.

Adapt or die. What does that actually look like for a working filmmaker?Chicago documentary filmmaker Armin Korsos has a working filmmaker's answer to the question every documentarian is wrestling with right now. If you're not using AI, you will be losing work to people who do. In this conversation, Armin walks through how he turned 20 hours of pre-production paperwork into 30 minutes, how he uses AI image generation to send 40 pitches in the time it used to take to send 8, and why he believes the only currency that still matters in this industry is original ideas.In Episode 278, Christian sits down with Armin Korsos, founder of the Chicago production company Caymanite and co-founder of Filmmaker Friday Chicago, a film community event series that grew from 50 people at its first event to over 1,700 unique attendees in its first year.Born in the Cayman Islands to Hungarian parents, raised in the Chicago suburbs, and trained at Columbia College Chicago, Armin uses commercial production work to fund the documentary and narrative projects he cares about. He has a working filmmaker's take on AI (use it now or lose work to the people who do), a hard-earned theory about original ideas as the only currency that still matters, and a community he built for filmmakers who know the work can be a lonely process.In this episode, you'll learn:Why Armin says "if you're not using AI, you will be losing work to people who do"How a Hungarian-born, Cayman-Islands-raised, Chicago-trained filmmaker built a production company that funds his passion projectsWhat the Nvidia CEO said that changed how Armin thinks about original ideas when everyone has access to AIWhy Armin believes "you must be the creator if you want the IP" when working with AI toolsHow Armin found a local approaching age 90 on Cayman Brac with no phone number, no email, and no addressHow a former Premier of the Cayman Islands recorded the narration for Brac in an airport parking lotWhy an old-fashioned, boots-on-the-ground approach still beats the algorithm when looking for authentic voicesHow Filmmaker Friday Chicago grew from 50 people to 1,700 unique attendees in its first yearWhether film school is still worth it in 2026, and what to ask yourself before goingWhy Armin says luck is preparation meeting opportunity, and what that has to do with documentary filmmakingChapters0:00 If you're not using AI, you will lose work1:45 Why filmmaking can be a lonely process3:00 From the Cayman Islands to Hungary to Chicago6:00 Where are the Cayman Islands? Grand Cayman vs Cayman Brac7:18 Why the ceiling for artists in Hungary is lower than the US12:19 Is film school worth it in 2026?18:45 Building a production company that funds your passion projects23:00 How working filmmakers are using AI in 202628:33 What the Nvidia CEO said about original ideas and AI32:27 Why you must be the creator if you want the IP34:03 Brac: a 15-minute conservation documentary on a Caribbean island40:00 How to find a documentary subject with no phone, no email, no address44:00 Recording the narration with the former Premier in an airport parking lot46:30 Filmmaker Friday Chicago: from 50 to 1,700 attendees in one yearFrequently Asked QuestionsHow are working filmmakers actually using AI in 2026?Chicago filmmaker Armin Korsos uses AI to automate pre-production paperwork (location releases, talent releases, non-disclosure agreements, call sheets, invoicing) so the time saved can go to creative work that requires human attention. He also uses AI image generation for pitch decks, allowing him to send 40 pitches in the time it used to take to send 8. He spends 15 to 20 minutes every night learning new AI tools and updates.What did the CEO of Nvidia say about original ideas and AI?Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, has argued that AI has equalized the playing field by removing the gatekeeping of technical knowledge. In Armin Korsos's words, paraphrasing Huang: the differentiator between who is successful and who is not in the future is who has the best original ideas. The technical skill barriers are falling. What remains scarce is the original creative input.Can AI own the intellectual property of work it generates?Armin Korsos cautions filmmakers that the creator of a work is the one who owns the intellectual property. As he puts it, you must be the creative input or Claude has the creative IP. AI cannot do the creative work for you if you want to own what you make. This is a working filmmaker's practical answer to a question that is still being litigated in courts.What is Brac about?Brac is a 15-minute conservation documentary directed by Armin Korsos and edited by Ethan Edmonds, shot over three trips to Cayman Brac, a small island of about 2,000 people in the Cayman chain. The film explores the intersection of land rights, land management, the decline of the native brown booby bird, and the future of the island. It features a local named Tennyson Scott, approaching age 90 and narration by James Ryan, former Premier of the Cayman Islands.What is Filmmaker Friday Chicago?Filmmaker Friday Chicago is a film community event series co-founded by Armin Korsos and Parker Foster. It hosts mixers and panel discussions at venues across Chicago, including the Chicago Cultural Center in partnership with the Chicago Film Commission. The first event drew 50 people. By the fourth event the room held over 200. In its first year the series hosted over 1,700 unique attendees, all free of charge, which Armin describes as unofficially the largest consistent film community event in Chicago.DocuView Deja Vu PicksArmin's pick: Gamehawker, directed by Josh Isenberg. A 25-minute conservation documentary sponsored by Patagonia and publicly available on YouTube. About birds.Armin also mentioned: Plant Life, also directed by Josh Isenberg. Currently on its festival run, not yet publicly released.Christian's pick: The Billionaire, the Butler and the Boyfriend, directed by Baptiste Etchegaray and Maxime Bonnet. A three-part documentary series on Netflix from 2023 about the scandal surrounding Liliane Bettencourt, the L'Oreal heiress and once the richest woman in the world. The film solves a creative problem worth studying: how to dramatize a story where the only existing record is audio. The directors use blurred top-down security-camera-style reenactments to bring the recorded conversations to life.Sponsored by Virgil Films EntertainmentDocumentary First is sponsored by Virgil Films Entertainment.
