(18:03) Jeff explains that after seeing Applied Epic's demo, he became interested in the new feature that can run an AMS through the browser. (20:22) Ryan believes that understanding where the company goes without rating multiple carriers is the way to place business faster with the appropriate carrier. (24:33) Jeff explains that you need some AI and machine learning to be able to direct you to the proper company because companies are changing their prices and moving so quickly. (26:54) Jeff explains what it means to have a properly trained bot. (34:50) Jeff explains the difference between Robotic Process Automation and a Digital Virtual Assistant. (38:24) Jeff explains how robots function when assigned significant responsibilities. (40:34) Jeff mentions that their bot is safe with two-factor authentication and that it cannot be hacked in the same manner that their staff can.

(50:42) Key Quotes: “You need some AI and machine learning to be able to direct you with the right company. Because companies are changing their rates and changing things.” - Jeff Roy “Why would you want to use a bot? Really, you want to replace anything that humans are doing that they don't need to do with technology. And a bot, once it's trained, can do it reliable every time.” - Jeff Roy “The bot is secure double factor authentication, you know, there's no way of getting it hacked in any different than our staff. So that's why it was important that we had the double factor authentication to get in, because I don't want to log into anything without that.” - Jeff Roy Resources Mentioned: Jeff Roy LinkedIn Excalibur Insurance Reach out to Ryan Hanley

he Digital Insurance Pint Podcast is pleased to announce that they have completed a hostile takeover of The Insurance Podcast. “The combination of these two entities will form an unrivaled podcasting empire in the Canadian insurance space” said co-host Adam Mitchell. “There can be only one”, agreed co-host Tom Reid. The deal was led by co-hosts Steve Earle and Jeff Roy. They have identified some significant synergies and economies of scale in the deal. As a result, Pete Tessier has been released from his role with immediate effect. “$#^$! you guys” said Pete. With this acquisition, DIPP will now control 90% of the Canadian insurance podcasting market either directly, or indirectly, through its network of affiliates. The company has agreed to abide by anti-monopoly laws and will not raise its prices for at least a few days. This deal is subject to regulatory approval, but is expected to pass easily because no one really cares about it. More detail can be found in the attached video, where we also cover: How smaller brokers are better equipped to pivot to consumers than the mega brokers on Enterprise platforms Do we even need a BMS? BMS's are the biggest friction point in our business BMS's care more about their competition than our competition Brokers Assn's are prioritizing brand over connectivity In what world does it make sense for a $10M broker to be on the same platform as a $200M broker?   Resources: Tom Reid Jeff Roy Steve Earle Adam Mitchell Digital Insurance Pint Podcast

FM #255 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 255 in the series. This session of the radio show shares my conversation with our State Representative Jeff Roy. We had our conversation via conference bridge to adhere to the ‘social distancing’ requirements of this pandemic period. We started by talking about the weekend and trying to take a break from COVID-19; the family of foxes that briefly lived in his backyard; the work of the Legislature and how that is progressing during this pandemic. The State budget is starting to be worked on by the House, later than normal, and it is likely that the entire State budget timeline will be later than normal. We talk about legislation on enabling voting by mail for the State primary in Sept and then the regular election in November. We also talk about Jeff's work on the higher education committee and how that is helping to prepare for the broader discussion on what the State can do for higher education in MA; the economic impact of higher education, and then shifted into the arts and culture arena which also provides considerable economic value to the Commonwealth.

La abundancia de publicaciones relacionadas con el arte sonoro en los últimos tiempos -quizá una forma de compensar la ausencia de ellas durante demasiados años del pasado- nos anima a presentar de nuevo un monográfico de Ars Sonora dedicado a libros de reciente aparición. Comenzamos comentando dos exposiciones del MACBA (Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Barcelona) relacionadas con la creación sonora experimental, cuyos respectivos catálogos representan importantes hitos bibliográficos. En primer lugar, la muestra titulada "Christian Marclay. Composiciones" -que se celebró entre abril y septiembre de 2019, y que comisarió Tanya Barson- examinó la obra del autor suizo-estadounidense "a través de su dedicación a la composición, entendida como un ordenamiento de sonidos en el tiempo y el espacio, pero también como composición visual". Por otra parte, la exposición "Takis", dedicada al escultor griego Panagiotis Vassilakis (1925-2019), comisariada por Guy Brett, Michael Wellen y Teresa Grandas, puede visitarse desde el 22 de noviembre de 2019 hasta el 19 de abril de 2020, y también ha propiciado un recomendable catálogo en el que se describen trabajos relacionados con el magnetismo, la luz y la electricidad en el dominio visual, pero también -y muy destacadamente- en el sonoro. A continuación nos centramos en varias publicaciones recientes de la editorial de la Universidad de Duke, cada vez más activa en el ámbito de los estudios sonoros. "Hush. Media and Sonic Self-Control", de Mack Hagood, destaca entre esas novedades procedentes de Duke University Press por su original aproximación a las tecnologías destinadas a crear espacios "protegidos" a través del sonido. No tan interesante resulta "Remapping Sound Studies", editado por Gavin Steingo y Jim Sykes, con aportaciones de Jessica A. Schwartz, Louise Meintjes, Tripta Chandola, Michele Friedner, Jairo Moreno, Ana María Ochoa Gautier, Michael Birenbaum Quintero, Jeff Roy, Shayna Silverstein, Ben Tausig y Hervé Tchumkam; si bien resulta indiscutible el valor de sus exploraciones de músicas procedentes de África, el sudeste asiático, latinoamérica o la Micronesia -entre otras áreas del mundo-, en realidad el mero hecho de que sean investigadores instalados en algunos de los más poderosos centros universitarios del planeta -a menudo radicados en los Estados Unidos- no solamente limita el alcance y el interés de esos estudios, sino que incurre en contradicciones relativas al propósito y la forma de empoderar o dar voz a colectividades tradicionalmente silenciadas o subalternadas. Por su parte, "Sound Objects", editado por James A. Steintrager y Rey Chow -que reúne contribuciones de Jairo Moreno, Georgina Born, Michael Bull, Michel Chion, John Dack, Veit Erlmann, Brian Kane, John Mowitt, Pooja Rangan, Gavin Steingo, Jonathan Sterne y David Toop- aporta nuevas y sugerentes perspectivas acerca de la noción de "objeto sonoro" inicialmente planteada por Pierre Schaeffer. Concluimos nuestro repaso de las últimas ediciones llevadas a cabo por Duke University Press con "Digital Sound Studies", editado por Mary Caton Lingold, Darren Mueller y Whitney Trettien, una aproximación al cruce entre dos campos académicamente emergentes: las humanidades digitales y los estudios sonoros. Nos detenemos, también, en "Metaphonics. The Field Works Listener's Guide", publicado por la editorial independiente Jap Sam Books, que propone un curioso recorrido a través de trabajos recientes vinculados a la fonografía y al paisajismo sonoro. Y no podía faltar, como en casi todos nuestros programas dedicados a lo libresco, la alusión a la deslumbrante labor editorial de Bloomsbury, en este caso a través de un pequeño volumen titulado "Podcasting. The Audio Media Revolution", firmado por Martin Spinelli y Lance Dann. Concluimos el programa con una breve recensión de "El giro notacional", de José Iges y Manuel Olveira, un texto dedicado a la exposición homónima que ambos comisariaron en 2019 para el MUSAC de León (y a la que nosotros dedicamos una edición monográfica de Ars Sonora hace ahora justamente un año). Tanto en aquella muestra como en este libro se contemplan las estrategias relacionadas con sistemas notacionales aplicados desde los años sesenta del pasado siglo por artistas de diversas disciplinas. El libro, que supera en su análisis los contornos de la citada exposición, ha sido editado por Fernando Castro Flórez, director de la Colección Infraleves del CENDEAC (Murcia). Las audiciones que complementan nuestros comentarios incluyen obras de Christian Marclay -la grabación de "Zoom Zoom", una de las performances que desarrolló en el MACBA, en este caso junto a la vocalista Shelley Hirsch-, Michel Chion -"Train De Pianos, Op. 1"-, y diversas muestras de los trabajos presentados en el libro "Metaphonics. The Field Works Listener's Guide". Escuchar audio

The only thing that's going to protect your agency's relevance is figuring out a way to handle all the business others can't. The industry isn't going to check with you before something big happens, and depending on who you talk to it could be a lot sooner than you think.  There isn't one skill or service that's going to save the day, instead it's an array of high level talents operating at the same time. The sad truth is you might be one of the agent's that think you're going to make, but might not.  That is unless you start to treat the impending change with a little more respect and start taking actions to move with it. That's what I talk about with Jeff Roy as he does his best to create and calm your panic attack all at the same time. P.S. Agency Nation University is a great place to how to protect you relevance.
