Tony chats with Josh Schlesinger, President, CEO & CoFounder at Continue On, it started as a SAAS platform licensed to auto insurance companies to disrupt the rental reimbursement space using Uber and Lyft instead.

Traditional roadside assistance picks up your car, but doesn't get you home. They started offering it as an additional benefit for the customers of their MGA and they now offer it through other MGAs and carriers. Currently operating in 8 states with 300k+ policies in force.Josh Schlesinger: https://www.linkedin.com/in/josh-schlesinger-32450b84/Video Version: https://youtu.be/mdp1ZLOPaTo

Mga Salita para sa Hangin26Gusto ninyong ituwid ang mga sinasabi ko, dahil para sa inyo, ang aking sinasabi bilang desperadong tao ay walang kabuluhan.  (JOB 6:26) Sa kalungkutan at sakit at kawalan ng pag-asa, madalas nasasabi ng mga tao ang mga bagay na hindi nila sasabihin sa ibang pagkakataon. Binibigyan nila ng mas madidilim na kulay ang katotohanan kumpara sa mga kulay na gagamitin nila kapag sumikat na ang araw kinabukasan.  Umaawit sila sa mga tonong malungkot, at nagsasalita na parang iyon lang ang tanging musika. Mga ulap lang ang kanilang nakikita, at nagsasalita sila na parang wala nang langit.Sinasabi nila, "Nasaan ang Diyos?" O kaya: "Wala nang saysay ang smagpatuloy pa." O: "Wala nang kabuluhan ang lahat." O: "Wala nang pag-asa para sa akin." O: "Kung mabuti ang Diyos, hindi sana nangyari ito."Ano ang dapat nating gawin sa mga salitang ito?Ayon kay Job, hindi natin kailangang ituwid sila. Ang mga salitang ito ay para lamang sa hangin, o sa literal na "para sa hangin." Mabilis lang silang maglalaho. Darating ang pagbabago sa mga pangyayari, at ang taong nawawalan ng pag-asa ay magigising mula sa madilim na gabi, at pagsisisihan ang mga padalus-dalos na salita.Kaya naman, ang punto ay huwag nating ubusin ang ating oras at lakas sa pagtutuwid ng mga ganitong salita. Kusa silang mawawala sa pag-ihip ng hangin. Hindi na kailangan pang putulin ang mga dahon sa taglagas. Sayang lang ang pagsisikap. Kusa rin silang mahuhulog sa kalaunan.Oh, gaano kabilis tayong tumutugon sa pagtatanggol sa Diyos, o kung minsan sa katotohanan, mula sa mga salitang para lamang sa hangin. Kung mayroon tayong tamang pag-unawa, makikilala natin ang pagkakaiba sa pagitan ng mga salitang may lalim at mga salitang tinatangay lang ng hangin.May mga salitang may ugat sa malalim na kamalian at kasamaan. Ngunit hindi lahat ng malamlam na salita ay nagmumula sa itim na puso. Ang iba ay pangunahing nababalot ng sakit, ng kawalan ng pag-asa. Ang iyong naririnig ay hindi ang pinakamalalim na bagay sa loob nila. Mayroong totoong at madilim na bagay sa loob kung saan sila nagmula. Ngunit ito ay pansamantala lamang — tulad ng isang dumaraang impeksyon — totoo, masakit, ngunit hindi ang tunay na pagkatao.Kaya, matuto tayong kilalanin kung ang mga salitang binibigkas laban sa atin, o laban sa Diyos, o laban sa katotohanan, ay para lamang sa hangin — sinasabi hindi mula sa kaluluwa, kundi mula sa sakit. Kung ito ay para sa hangin, maghintay tayo nang tahimik at huwag magtuwid. Ang pagpapanumbalik ng kaluluwa, hindi ang pagtutuwid sa sakit, ang layunin ng ating pagmamahal.

What does it take to fundamentally rethink how specialty insurance is traded, structured and scaled? In this episode, Robin Merttens is joined by Jeff Radke, co-founder and CEO of Accelerant, for a deep dive into the mechanics of a rapidly growing risk exchange that's quietly reshaping the MGA and MGU landscape. It has been three years since Jeff joined us on the InsTech podcast, and even Accelerant has radically evolved as a business. This isn't, however, just another technology story. Jeff shares frank insights on building trust in a data-driven ecosystem, how Accelerant has used AI to make tangible portfolio improvements and why he believes platform-based risk trading will become the dominant model for specialty lines. Unlike many other discussions about AI in insurance, this episode focuses on what's already working – from subrogation improvements to portfolio optimisation. There's also a broader message here: about stepping back to see how much the market has changed and why the next evolution may already be underway… Key Talking Points Building a global risk exchange – how Accelerant connects specialty MGAs and MGUs with capacity through a single, scalable platform The value of long-term partnerships – why Accelerant provides five-year capacity commitments and expects transparency in return From niche to global – supporting 200+ underwriting teams across 20 countries and over 225 specialty products Applying AI where it matters – reducing loss ratios and boosting subrogation with machine learning and large language models Cost leadership in a softening market – why expense ratio advantage trumps rate cycles in SME and specialty risks Looking ahead – how AI is reshaping roles, workflows and the entire insurance value chain The rise of risk exchanges – why specialty insurance is following the same path as bonds, mortgages and equities Staying ahead – why Accelerant is focused on evolution, not just competition If you like what you're hearing, please leave us a review on whichever platform you use or contact Robin Merttens on LinkedIn.

This week's guest has probably the best 360-degree understanding of the insurance value chain of anyone I have had on the show. This is because Mike Keating has a career that spans collecting insurance premiums in person and runs all the way through underwriting, backing MGAs, working for and founding MGAs, to working for Private Equity and helping find investment to start new insurance businesses. Now Mike is putting all he has learned into running the Managing General Agents Association (the MGAA) the trade body that represents the MGA community in the UK and Ireland. The MGAA's members write around £15bn – or just under $20b - in GWP, so this is an organisation that carries quite a lot of weight in the market. In this podcast we examine the reasons behind the continued success of the MGA as a vehicle for delivering underwriting talent and the prospects for their growth to continue sustainably into the future. We also learn what is on the MGAA's agenda, in terms of the lobbying work it does as well as what are the latest initiatives from the important educational and networking sides of the organisation. But leaning on Mike's broad experience, our topic ranges are far wider than that. For example, a large part of our discussion extends to include the application of AI in the MGA space. With the average tenure of the underwriting paper backing MGAs hitting new highs, MGAs providing the preferred career path for many underwriters, and with someone as passionate and knowledgeable as Mike looking out for its interests, the future for the UK and Ireland MGA sector looks very healthy. But most importantly Mike is great company and an insurance player through and through and the best possible reason to listen to this podcast is to get the benefit of some of the insights that his long experience has given him. NOTES: We mention Reg Brown. Reg is a Lloyd's luminary who ran his own Syndicate and is the driving force behind founding the MGAA, as well as many other market-wide initiatives and collaborations, most notably the Insurance Museum, of which he is Chairman. https://www.linkedin.com/in/reg-brown-62827313/ LINKS: We thank our naming sponsor AdvantageGo: https://www.advantagego.com We also thank audio advertiser, The Insurance Network (TIN), organiser of the highly-successful TINtech events series and Data Jam. www.tin.events

In this episode of the Insurtech Leadership Podcast, host Josh Hollander welcomes Nakita Devlin, CEO and Co-founder of Ric, who shares how her company is democratizing parametric insurance products for everyday Americans. Unlike traditional catastrophe coverage, Ric's approach focuses on immediate, predefined payouts triggered by meteorological events rather than complex damage assessments.   Devlin, drawing from her background as an insurance broker specializing in catastrophe coverage, explains how Ric is transforming parametric insurance from an enterprise-focused product into an accessible consumer offering. Their flagship flood product, launching in 2025, offers a $10,000 payout for $14 monthly, using only meteorological data for triggering events – a significant departure from traditional flood insurance's complex underwriting requirements.   Key Insights:  Reimagining Distribution: Rather than traditional insurance channels, Ric is partnering with employers to offer parametric coverage during benefits enrollment, positioning it alongside standard offerings like dental insurance Simplified Underwriting: Breaking from traditional catastrophe policies, Ric uses only meteorological data instead of extensive property information, making coverage more accessible and equitable Rapid Response Focus: Products designed for immediate payouts to cover both property damage and financial disruption, addressing gaps in traditional coverage that can take months to pay claims Workforce Resilience: Targeting employers whose workforces face climate risks, positioning parametric coverage as a business continuity tool Market Evolution: Using micro-parametric products to help insurers re-enter challenging markets with controlled exposure through capped payouts   Notable Quotes: "Insurance has a really big role to play in creating adaptability and resilience against climate change - not just for Fortune 500 companies, but for your average American." - [20:08] Nakita Devlin   "We think that for most Americans, even if you're making $100k a year, you're still living paycheck to paycheck... [they] shouldn't be penalized because they didn't know their home isn't properly protected for flood that's happening in 2025." - [38:57] Nakita Devlin   Key Topics Covered: [09:16] Journey from catastrophe broker to insurtech founder [15:10] Innovative distribution through employee benefits [24:27] Structuring capacity as an MGA [31:08] Product pivot based on market feedback [38:22] Strategic focus on meteorological data [41:03] Future of public-private climate partnerships   About Our Guest: Nakita Devlin is the CEO and Co-founder of Ric, bringing deep expertise from her background as a catastrophe insurance broker.
