If you had to convince a bank manager to lend you the money for a depreciating sports car, what would your ultimate pitch be? Today, we're putting our money where our mouth is.In this episode of 9WERKS Radio, your hosts are joined by special guest panelist Saquib from the DNHC (Driven Not Hidden Collective) for a high-stakes, highly speculative game. We are scanning the virtual showroom of the 9WERKS Marketplace to answer the ultimate question: Which Porsches are actually going up in value right now?The rules of the game are simple. One of us chooses a car currently listed on the marketplace and pitches it to the other two, who are acting as strict, risk-averse bank managers. To win the funding, the pitch has to be flawless. Is the car a guaranteed future classic, or is it a financial money pit? Would a bank actually release the funds in real life?From overlooked water-cooled gems to air-cooled icons hitting a market sweet spot, we debate the numbers, the data, and the emotional triggers that drive Porsche values.In this episode, we discuss:The Bank Manager Challenge: Pitching real cars from the 9WERKS Marketplace.Porsche Market Trends: What is driving values up (or down) right now?Future Classic Predictions: The specific models we think are set to climb.Investment vs. Enjoyment: Can you buy a Porsche to drive and make a profit?Drop your investment picks in the comments—which car would you pitch to the bank?Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.LINKS & RESOURCESExplore the Marketplace:9WERKS Marketplace: Think you can spot a better investment?

Introduction Captive premiums have crossed roughly $79 billion globally, so why are so many captive programs still managed in Excel and email? In this episode, Joshua Hollander talks with Illia Pinchuk, CEO and founder of DICEUS, about where manual workflows leak value in a captive program and what it takes to move a captive manager off spreadsheets. Listeners will hear how feature-based pricing changes the cost math for captives, why data onboarding is the real adoption barrier, and where AI actually helps today. Guest Bio Illia Pinchuk founded DICEUS in 2011 and has led the company for fourteen years, evolving from professional services for insurers, brokers, MGAs, and TPAs into ready-made products. DICEUS now offers 22 products across business lines, with captive insurance among its strongest segments, anchored by a captive management platform and a captive owner portal. Pinchuk trained as an engineer in mechatronics and robotics and has completed executive coursework through Harvard Business School Online. Key Topics -A young market with about 7,000 captives - Roughly half of the world's registered captives sit in the US, with Bermuda, Cayman, and a developing UK regime behind it, and business processes remain largely unstandardized. -Why captive managers can't scale on spreadsheets - The consultant headcount a captive manager needs grows roughly in proportion to the captives it onboards, which turns a service business into a people business. -Where value leaks in a manual captive - A/B fund premium allocation, loss runs arriving from 10 to 20 different TPAs in incompatible spreadsheets, investment reconciliation, and end-of-period compliance workbooks. -Feature-based pricing, not module-based - Clients pay only for the specific features they use, which matters in a segment where the entire case for a captive is cost. -The measurable payoff - Clients report the platform saves the work of one to one and a half business analysts or captive consultants, and policy issuance that once consumed a dedicated person compresses to about a week and a half. -Key-person risk in Excel - When the one employee who knows the spreadsheets leaves, the knowledge leaves with them; built-in onboarding and AI guidance get a replacement productive in one to two weeks. -AI needs clean data first - DICEUS runs the full extract, transform, load process itself, cleaning years of unstructured spreadsheet data before the platform's AI features can pay off. Notable Quotes "They cannot grow without adding new people. So it becomes more people business than just a service business." "At the end of the month you're getting twenty completely different spreadsheets, and you somehow should make a magic work in order to calculate the loss ratio." "Our system can save, for a traditional captive manager organization, at least one or one and a half consultants. But in reality, I think it's even more." "They should pass through the digital onboarding step, just filling in all the details, and it should be automatically enrolled. Like, for example, if you want to open a bank account. That will be a big game changer." Resources Guest: DICEUS: https://diceus.com/ Illia Pinchuk on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/illiapinchuk/ Host & Organization: Joshua R.

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.
