Introduction What does an insurer actually own after a few years of buying AI one use case at a time? Feathery co-founder Zack Khan argues that the answer decides whether AI ever produces more than incremental gains, because a workflow you cannot change without filing a vendor ticket is a workflow you are renting. Fresh off a $30 million round led by Portage, with Allstate and Erie both in as strategic investors, Khan walks host Joshua R. Hollander through what it takes to put workflow control in the hands of the operating teams themselves. Guest Bio Zack Khan is Co-Founder of Feathery, the AI operating and decisioning system for financial services. He started as a software engineer building complex forms at Robinhood and Nextdoor alongside co-founder Peter Dun, then became the fifth employee at Hightouch, where he led marketing as the company grew toward a $3 billion valuation. Khan and Dun founded Feathery in 2021 as a developer-focused form builder and grew it into a platform that now serves more than 300 firms, including Tokio Marine, Hiscox, Baldwin Group, and Hylant, orchestrating submission intake, virtual inspections, quoting, and benefits workflows across carriers, MGAs, and brokers. Feathery ran profitably before raising its $30 million round in July 2026. Key Topics -Vendor-led vs. team-owned workflows - Why the last generation of insurance software put every change behind a vendor ticket, and what changes when underwriting and operations teams define workflows in natural language instead. -Copilot licenses vs. step changes - Giving everyone a copilot produces small gains; redefining one workflow end to end took a carrier from an eight-hour time to quote down to fifteen minutes. -Orchestrate rather than replace - Feathery's agent, Robin, works across existing rating engines, AMSs, and even legacy desktop applications, automating the data entry instead of ripping out the system. -Rules where you want them, judgment where you need it - Deterministic guardrails handle rating inputs, while objective-driven agents handle tasks like checking a virtual inspection for a pool or a tree touching the roof. -The Baldwin Group benefits example - Custom employee benefit guides that took 20 to 30 or more hours to build now generate in minutes, across 10 to 15 assets and multiple languages, and the team's hours moved to consultative work. -What a platform actually is - Khan's test is control: if you cannot apply your own business logic to your own workflow without a vendor ticket, you bought a point solution. -Start in specialty lines - Fast-growing lines with less tech debt and less red tape are where AI transformation finds its first champions inside a large carrier. Notable Quotes "An actual platform gives you control. If you don't have fundamental control over the actual experience, and you're applying your own firm-specific business logic to your workflow, that is a point solution." "If your rating engine is working great, it's just the annoying part is typing data into it. You don't rip out the whole rating engine; you just automate the data entry part of it." "Some of our customers have gone from an eight-hour time to quote to less than fifteen minutes responding to producers. That's the stuff that actually will impact your bind ratio." "For AI to truly have the impact you want, you need to redefine the workflow, think about the end-to-end ideal process that you want your best underwriter, your best claims adjuster, your best producer to be following."

Gavin Bottrell joins me on this episode to reflect on a twenty year odyssey to perfect the lost craft of Feathery Ball making. Gavin is an engineer by profession and became fascinated with how one might reverse engineer the process of developing a modern day feathery ball. Over the course of a 90 minute chat Gavin shares his learnings from the bottom of a very deep rabbit hole, from where he has perfected a skill that was lost to time and progress as the development of the gutta percha golf ball superceeded the feathery in the 1850's. Gavin recently tested his mark 43 ball against a genuine 185 year old feathery ball and replicated its performance.... he swears that this is the end of his quest..somehow I get the feeling that a doubling down may be on the cards. I'm led to believe that a book is on the cards at some point in the future, which will lay out the techniques, methodology and processes that Gavin has employed in mastering this ancient craft. We hope you enjoy the episode! Check out the following links that detail some of Gavin's fascinating research How far did Feathery Balls Actually Go? The Shape of Feathery Balls How heavy were Feathery Balls Why did Feathery Golf Balls come in different sizes?

Doves are the highest-harvested game bird in the United States, with over 10 million bagged annually. The high harvest rate isn't surprising, considering dove hunting season is the first hunting season to open for most wing shooters. However, the dove's widespread range no doubt contributes to the large harvest. They can be found in nearly every state and much of Canada. They breed from the west coast to the east coast, as far north as southeast Alaska and south into Mexico. Such a massive range and the ability to live in urban and rural landscapes have kept the dove population robust.

Hi Smooches! On this episode, we had the pleasure of talking with author Emma Barry about her book “Chick Magnet,” which comes out January 24th. It's about a social media influencer who raises backyard chickens, and the grumpy small-town vet who has been hate-watching her content long before she moved into town. Meg and I both loved this book, and we put Emma through a game of Would You Rather based on her story. We are taking a break until February, when we'll be back with new episodes twice a month.

Roger McStravick is a man from Northern Ireland who has been based in St Andrews for over twenty years, he has, so far, won the USGA Herbert Warren Wind Book Award on two occasions, for books focussed on Old Tom Morris and the St.Andrews Road War in 1879 (a war that involved a title dispute regarding potential encroachment onto the fabled turf of the old course). I cannot think of many other people that know as much about St Andrews, Allan Robertson, Hugh Lyon Playfair, The Open Championship, the Morris', the Park's, Jamie Anderson et al (I've left quite a few protagonists out here I know). Roger is the ideal guest to explore the genesis of modern golf and how an ancient scottish pastime has been adopted around the world. We look at the history of the game and introduce some of the aforementioned characters that influenced the direction and the destination of where we find the game of golf today.
