In dieser Podcast-Episode spreche ich mit Mathias Storde, Director Online und International Sales bei HanseMerkur, über die Revolutionierung der Reisebranche durch parametrische Versicherungen. Mathias erklärt die Zusammenarbeit zwischen HanseMerkur und der BerlinDirekt, einer hundertprozentigen Tochtergesellschaft, die agiler und flexibler auf Marktbedürfnisse reagieren kann als der „Tanker“ HanseMerkur. Hier sind fünf Highlights aus unserem Gespräch: Parametrische Versicherungen im Detail: Mathias erklärt verständlich, was parametrische Versicherungen sind: Versicherungen, die nicht auf der Höhe des Schadens basieren, sondern auf definierten Parametern. Im Beispiel der Flugverspätungsversicherung wird ab einer bestimmten Verspätungszeit (z.B. zwei Stunden) eine Auszahlung oder Leistung (z.B. Lounge-Zugang) gewährt. Die Auszahlung erfolgt direkt und schnell, z.B. über PayPal. Innovation im Reiseversicherungsmarkt: Wir diskutieren, wie HanseMerkur und BerlinDirekt mit parametrischen Produkten Innovation im oft langweiligen Reiseversicherungsmarkt schaffen. Die parametrische Flugverspätungsversicherung ist ein Beispiel dafür, wie man Kunden einen echten Mehrwert bietet und sich von der Konkurrenz abhebt. Preisgestaltung und Vertrieb: Ein wichtiger Aspekt ist die Preisgestaltung. Mathias erklärt, dass ein parametrisches Produkt als „Mitnahmeprodukt“ unter 10€ ideal positioniert ist. Der Vertrieb erfolgt über Online-Reisebüros (OTAs) und andere Partner, die das Produkt direkt in den Buchungsprozess integrieren. Customization und zukünftige Entwicklungen: Mathias betont die Möglichkeiten der Individualisierung parametrischer Produkte. Man kann die Auszahlungssummen, Auslöseparameter (z.B. ab 90 Minuten Verspätung) und Leistungen (z.B. Lounge-Zugang, Champagner am Flughafen) anpassen. Wir brainstormen über weitere kreative Anwendungsmöglichkeiten, z.B. Wettergarantien (obwohl Mathias diese als schwierig einschätzt) oder Kompensation bei ausgefallenen Ausflügen. Sofortauszahlung und Digitalisierung: Die sofortige Auszahlung über PayPal ist ein wichtiges Alleinstellungsmerkmal und ein Beispiel für die Digitalisierung der Schadenabwicklung. Mathias sieht hier großes Potenzial, um den Kunden ein besseres Erlebnis zu bieten und bürokratische Hürden zu beseitigen.

In this insightful episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta sits down with board-certified dermatologist, author, and longevity advocate Dr. Doris Day to unpack what it really means to age beautifully — inside and out. With decades of experience bridging medical reporting and clinical practice, Dr. Day shares why skin is so much more than what we see in the mirror: it's a reflection of our total health and vitality.Dr. Day explains why lasting beauty begins with good habits — quality sleep, smart nutrition, stress balance, and mindful movement — before any injectable or skincare product ever touches our face. She dives into why injectables like Botox work best when paired with a careful, customized approach that considers bone structure, muscle dynamics, and skin condition. Her biggest rule? Results should always look natural and authentic, never frozen.The conversation also explores today's hottest trends — from the reality of “Ozempic face” and rapid weight loss to K-beauty's multi-treatment craze — and how to protect skin from unintended consequences. Dr. Day breaks down how smart planning, collagen support, and thoughtful biostimulatory treatments can help preserve facial structure during big changes.She also gives us a glimpse of her upcoming longevity skincare project focused on fibroblast health and stem cell protection — the next frontier for keeping skin resilient as we age.

In this episode of the HVAC School podcast, host Bryan Orr and guest Ty Branaman have an in-depth, hands-on conversation about the philosophy, structure, and impact of GRIT Camps—workshops designed to introduce kids to the trades through immersive, practical experiences. The episode opens with reflections on a recent successful GRIT Camp in New Jersey, where both mentors and children gained new skills and confidence. Ty shares the excitement of seeing young participants, many of whom had never shown interest in school before, become deeply engaged in building, problem-solving, and learning from trades professionals. Parents noticed a newfound enthusiasm in their children, while mentors were invigorated by the opportunity to share their expertise and even learn new techniques alongside the kids. A central theme is the use of the Socratic method—teaching through curiosity, guided questions, and hands-on experimentation. Rather than providing step-by-step instructions, mentors encourage kids to make mistakes, ask questions, and discover solutions on their own. This approach fosters deeper understanding, builds confidence, and develops critical thinking skills. Bryan and Ty discuss the importance of meeting each learner where they are, allowing for individualized progress and ensuring that every participant, regardless of prior experience, leaves with a sense of accomplishment. The hosts also highlight how this method benefits mentors, many of whom find themselves learning and growing alongside the kids. GRIT Camps are designed like an “escape room” or adventure challenge. Each module—carpentry, electrical work, brazing, and more—presents real-world problems for kids to solve, emphasizing both safety and creativity. The hands-on activities are intentionally open-ended, allowing for flexibility and adaptation by different mentors and hosts. Safety is a recurring focus, with detailed discussions about best practices for working with tools, protective equipment, and managing risk, especially when introducing children to potentially hazardous tasks. The conversation also explores the broader societal impact of GRIT Camps, emphasizing the importance of restoring respect for hands-on skills and empowering both kids and mentors to build, fix, and create with confidence. Topics Covered in This Episode: The origins and goals of GRIT Camps The Socratic method: fostering curiosity, problem-solving, and hands-on learning Structuring camps as adventure challenges to boost engagement and creativity Safety protocols and best practices for working with tools and materials Teaching modules: carpentry, electrical work, brazing, and more Customization and creativity: allowing kids to personalize their projects The importance of respecting and restoring hands-on skills in society Encouraging contractors and communities to replicate and expand the GRIT Camp model The impact on kids, parents, and mentors—building confidence, skills, and community Reflections on neurodiversity, learning styles, and the value of practical education Learn more about the GRIT Foundation at https://www.thegritfoundation.com/.
