What if the biggest opportunity for insurance AI isn't better automation, but better data?In this episode of Making Risk Flow, host Jake Harding sits down with Patrick Meehan, Senior Solution Director at Dun & Bradstreet UK – Insurance Services, to explore why trusted business data, entity resolution, and continuous monitoring are becoming critical to the future of commercial insurance. They discuss why insurers need to move beyond fragmented, policy-by-policy snapshots toward a shared view of the customer across underwriting, claims, compliance, and renewal. Patrick also explores the hidden concentration risks within seemingly diversified portfolios, the challenges of building and maintaining data infrastructure at scale, and why insurers should start with measurable business problems rather than massive enterprise data projects. Tune in to discover how connected data can reduce duplication, improve risk visibility, and help insurers build workflows designed for AI.Fan Mail: Got a challenge digitizing your intake?

What do happy accidents, deconstructing songs, and tools like stem splitters have to do with leveling up your production skills?My guest today is Marc Matthews, a UK-based producer, mixing and mastering engineer, EDM artist, and host of Inside The Mix podcast. He works with independent artists to craft impactful, clear tracks and shares practical insights from his experience as both an artist and engineer.In this episode, we dive into Marc's journey from learning guitar and metal bands to mastering EDM production. We discuss his approach to building a workflow, selecting sounds, and the benefits of deconstructing commercial tracks using stem splitters for education rather than copying. Marc emphasizes starting with the right foundational sounds, like choosing the perfect kick and bass, and then refining through arrangement and mixing techniques like side-chaining and EQ.We got into the importance of practical tools - such as Serum, Arturia Pigments, and even Behringer synths - and how experimenting with synthesis can inspire creativity but needs to be coupled with structured composition. Marc also shares insights on working with vocal topliners through platforms like Vocalizer, building collaborations, and managing royalty splits with agreements from platforms like Songtrust or PPL. Podcasting as a way to learn, grow, and build a catalog was a big theme, along with strategies for navigating DAWs efficiently, controlling your workflow with shortcuts, and using apps like SteerMouse for cross-application controls.Finally, we talk about balancing creative freedom with technical discipline - knowing when to trust your instincts versus when to scientificize your process - and the value of just starting now, with whatever tools and time you have.Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.comTHANKS TO OUR SPONSORS!http://UltimateMixingMasterclass.comhttps://usa.sae.edu/ https://www.native-instruments.com Use code ROCK10 to get 10% off!https://www.spectra1964.comhttps://gracedesign.com/https://RecordingStudioRockstars.com/Academyhttps://www.thetoyboxstudio.com/Listen to the podcast theme song “Skadoosh!” https://solo.to/lijshawmusicListen to this guest's discography on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2YOHUdnp0mmVHoPiGtseiA?si=PcwvTlCoTA2bcNO3NGeopAIf you love the podcast, then please leave a review: https://RSRockstars.com/ReviewCLICK HERE FOR COMPLETE SHOW NOTES AT: https://RSRockstars.com/577

Vergiß niemals deine Wurzeln, oder am Boden geblieben sind Redewendungen, die ein gewisses Maß an Bescheidenheit und Selbstreflexion ausdrücken. Naja, am Boden geblieben können und wollen wir, vermutlich nachvollziehbar, nicht von uns sagen. Aber auf unsere Wurzeln besinnen wir und gerne. Nicht nur was diesen Podcast angeht, sondern auch auf unsere fliegerischen Wurzeln. Wie war das nochmal mit dem Pilot werden, was muss man mitbringen...auf dem Papier und an Einstellung? PPL oder CPL....modular oder integriert...wie lange braucht man wohl dafür....warum klaopt das mit dem Schweben nicht??? Viele Fragen und wenig Antworten. Nicht bei uns! Wir versuchen Licht ins Dunkel zu bringen und geben ein paar Tipps, welcher Weg zu wem passen könnte. Wenn Fragen bleiben, stellt sie uns gerne. Viel Spaß bei Abgehoben - der Hubschrauber Podcast
What if you could eliminate the tedious data rekeying that eats up agents' days and instead focus on what truly matters: understanding risk and serving clients?In this episode of Making Risk Flow, host Juan de Castro sits down with Luke Bills, President of Independent Agent Distribution at Liberty Mutual, to explore how AI and automation can remove friction from insurance workflows. They discuss how technologies such as email-to-quote, API-driven processes, and SubmissionLess can eliminate repetitive data rekeying and streamline risk submissions. Luke explains why insurers should decouple intake channels from underwriting processes and use risk complexity, not premium size alone, to determine how submissions are handled. The conversation also explores how AI can amplify the value of independent agents by freeing them to focus on risk management, client relationships, and growth. Finally, Juan and Luke examine the importance of responsible AI governance, including model validation, privacy, human oversight, and cross-functional collaboration, when deploying AI across the insurance industry.

Ted has a private pilot checkride on the calendar, so naturally the crew dedicated the evening to helping him prepare. And by helping, we mean: "You may not be nervous at all for the checkride. But you will be by the end of this conversation. It's our job to make you nervous." The chat piled on until it got so deep into aerodynamics that Erica announced, "if a DPE asks about dynamic stability on a private pilot checkride, I'm quitting." The actual best advice of the night came via Nathan B., quoting Barry: slow down and think, doesn't matter if it's an egg, a 182, or a jet. Wind your watch. Midlifters will get that reference.CFI Sam lobbied hard for Ted to combine private and instrument into one checkride, a suggestion Ted received with grace: "How dare you try to minimize my suffering. I want to suffer as much as everybody else." One over-prepared checkride at a time. And when he passes, the assignment stands: bait r/flying with "I passed my private pilot checkride at 1,200 hours." (It was 1,005 hours last episode. The creeper bot confirms he's been flying.)The mailbag delivered the ultimate "I will never" correction: a listener who got his PPL in 1998 as a band teacher retired in 2022 and was promptly offered a charter job in a King Air 200. Then came type ratings in a BE-40 Beechjet and King Air 250 and 90, sims at RVR 800 and 200-foot ceilings at night, "pretty much like drinking from a fire hose." His own verdict: "So much for, I will never."Ted's medical saga got a postscript: Xyla Foxlin's video on her FAA medical fight. "It made me cry. Seriously, like tears." (The dusty plane in the hangar will get you.) Standing disclaimer, in his words: don't take from what you hear from me that anybody can get a medical. Know the risk before you apply.Also aboard: the beast (Ben's 182) is in the avionics shop losing the Cuisinart, an old Narco audio panel riding on 1968 wiring, in favor of two GI-275s. Congrats to Gary, our newest private pilot. Welcome, Hammack from HSV. And the cheeseburger that made Erica tear up has a name: Bare Bones Butcher, burgers 11 to 3 only, new potatoes deep-fried in beef fat, dipped in mayonnaise. She didn't want anything too heavy. "I don't care. We're going to go get this burger." Tonight's wisdom: airplanes convert fuel into noise and money into memories.Mentioned on the show:King Air 200/250: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beechcraft_Super_King_AirBE40 Beechjet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawker_400King Air 90: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beechcraft_King_AirXyla Foxlin's medical story, "The FAA Has a Mental Health Problem": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj0H8oVS7qgBare Bones Butcher, Erica's best burger ever: https://www.barebonesbutcher.com/

In this Greatest Hits episode of Making Risk Flow, host Jake Harding speaks with Bryan Falchuk, author of the Future of Insurance series, about why insurance's next competitive edge lies in intelligence, not efficiency. Bryan argues that carriers focus too heavily on operational optimisation when profitability depends on understanding and managing loss ratios. He introduces the “how might we” mindset as a way to break through cultural resistance and reframe constraints as opportunities. The conversation explores AI as a bridge between legacy systems and modern analytics, enabling transformation without massive system overhauls. Bryan also examines how misaligned incentives, complacency, and leadership hubris quietly undermine long-term strategy. Ultimately, he makes the case that curiosity, humility, and proactive risk intelligence will define the insurers that thrive in an era of rapid technological change.Fan Mail: Got a challenge digitizing your intake?

A listener comment set the agenda this week: as the hosts stack ratings and turbine job offers, do the 20-to-200-hour faithful still see themselves in the show?Ben answered by wearing his Nobody Cares hat, the one from the Nashville meetup of the same name, and explaining why: he had maybe 250 hours when Brian and Chris started recording, and hearing them talk about their first solos "hit home with me like a ton of bricks." He is still as excited for every first solo and first cross-country posted in the community as he was for his own. The whole thing turned into the closest the show has come to a Lloyd Dobler rant in years: "I don't want to manufacture anything, I don't want to sell anything."Because here is the thing about ratings: this is not a competition, and in the words spoken on air, "we're still terrified little babies on check rides." The instrument ride at 800-something hours was not easier for the experience. It was worse. And in the most on-brand development this show could possibly produce, Ted, freshly armed with his hard-won medical, is now preparing for a private pilot checkride, with a standing dare to post "I just passed my PPL at 1,005 hours" on the flying subreddit and watch the comments roll in.Ben, meanwhile, is still waiting for the beast to get out of the shop ("There is a very good chance that the beast will be done by the end of this week." "So one more month." "Exactly. That's what everybody says."). His new employer filled the gap with computer-based training homework that ate his entire weekend before Phenom 300 indoc, and they sent him the AFM, which he is respectfully not opening yet. He has, however, already downloaded a Phenom for Microsoft Flight Simulator, so training is basically complete.In the mailbag, a student pilot who lost his medical shortly after his second solo wrote that Ted's story "is exactly what I needed to hear to give me hope," and asked whether BasicMed can put the whole fight to rest. Fittingly, the community chat channel has become the Ted and Mike Alpha Golf medical regulation hangout, currently nerding out on FAA changes around antidepressant special issuance, sleep apnea, and diabetes.Also aboard: a 1985 Toyota MR2 blew a head gasket, grew a pinhole in a freshly fabricated muffler weld, and confirmed that its owner "will never win the lottery." Toby K passed his instrument checkride, Bill S got checked out in his flying club's A36 Bonanza (15 hours of dual for the checkout), and there is apparently an equity flying club out of PDK called Bonanza Five with access to five Bonanzas.

In this Greatest Hits episode of Making Risk Flow, we revisit host Juan de Castro's conversation with David McMillan, former CEO of esureGroup, to unpack how a mid-sized insurer reinvented itself under private equity ownership. Facing COVID-19, reserve pressures, a soft market, and geopolitical disruption, the company leaned into culture, clarity, and modern technology to outpace larger rivals. David shares why building a high-performing team starts with shared values, how blending insurance expertise with external digital talent accelerates innovation, and why cloud-native, API-driven architecture is essential for real-time decision-making. He also explains how to shift boards from traditional ROI forecasts to agile, outcome-based governance. It's a candid conversation about resilience, leadership under pressure, and why staying smaller, more agile, and hence, faster can be a lasting competitive advantage.Fan Mail: Got a challenge digitizing your intake?

Allison explains how better data governance, transparent AI, and aligned incentives help underwriters make faster, more confident decisions. She explores why speed-to-quote has become a critical competitive advantage, how broker integration and third-party data remove costly friction, and why decision-ready workflows, not full automation, will define the winning carriers of 2030. The conversation offers practical insights for insurers modernizing underwriting in an AI-driven world. Allison Hamilton is Head of US Customer Success for Cytora, a division of Applied Systems, where she leads customer delivery, adoption, and long-term value across North America. She partners with insurers to modernize underwriting through workflow automation, digital risk processing, and operating model innovation. Allison oversees strategic customer programs, drives measurable business outcomes, and works closely with product and go-to-market teams to shape Cytora's US strategy.

In this episode of Making Risk Flow, Juan de Castro sits down with Greg Brown, Partner at Oxbow Partners, to explore the strategic choices reshaping the London insurance market.

What if your climate risk assessments could predict the future with greater accuracy than historical data alone?In part two of this conversation on Making Risk Flow, Jake Harding continues his discussion with Joan Saladich, Founder of Geoskop, exploring how insurers can move beyond static climate risk models and embrace a more sophisticated, forward-looking approach to decision-making. Joan explains why annual climate model updates can create misleading conclusions, how vegetation and soil dynamics reshape wildfire risk, and why relying on single-source data leaves carriers exposed to blind spots. The conversation also examines the role of AI and large language models in processing complex climate datasets, emphasising that technology should enhance, not replace, human judgment. Joan outlines a practical framework for combining historical data, future climate projections, alternative statistical models, and socioeconomic context to generate more accurate, explainable, and actionable climate risk intelligence.

You want results. Real, lasting, life-changing results. And the guys are breaking down the ONE investment that actually delivers... hiring a great personal trainer. But here's the thing... most people quit. Sal, Adam, and Justin go through the top six reasons why people stop working with their trainers, and they pull zero punches doing it. From the cost objection to boring workouts to scheduling excuses, they expose what's really going on AND whether AI can step in and fill the gap. Spoiler alert... AI is NOT the answer. Not because information isn't valuable, but because information was NEVER the point. Google has existed for decades. Fitness magazines have been free at the library forever. The real value of a great coach is the human relationship, the behavioral steering, the ability to READ you when your data says one thing but your face says another. That's something no chatbot can replicate... at least not yet. This episode also covers live caller coaching, a 55 minute intro packed with fitness, fat loss, muscle gain, diet talk, and current events, AND a wild tangent about P90X making a comeback with a brand new program. You do NOT want to miss the guys reacting to those training pillars. Plus there is a brand new program, MAPS Push Pull Legs, dropping this month at 40% off. This one is for YOU if you are serious about building a real physique with a smart, effective split.

Sponsors: Rho Nutrition: rhonutrition.com/discount/mindpump MAPS PPL: mapsppl.com Full body or Push Pull Legs... which one actually wins? You are going to walk away knowing exactly which style of training fits YOUR goals, YOUR lifestyle, and YOUR experience level. If you have ever wondered why you are not getting the pump you want from full body training... or why your split routine keeps falling apart because you keep skipping leg day... this episode is going to hit different. Adam breaks down how he personally evolved from full body training all the way to a double PPL split during his peak physique competition years, and WHY that progression made total sense. Sal lays out the intensity, recovery, and exercise selection differences that most people completely overlook when comparing these two approaches. Key Topics • Full body training protects you when you miss a workout because you never skip an entire muscle group the way you do on a split routine • With a PPL split, missing one day means missing an entire category of movement, and the day people skip most is almost always leg day • Total weekly volume can be identical between full body and split routines, but the exercise selection looks completely different: full body leans compound, splits open the door to isolation and sculpting work • Split routines allow higher training intensity per session because you are not hitting that muscle group again for a full week, meaning you can push harder without it hurting your next workout • Full body routines are shorter per session when volume is matched because you warm up for each compound lift separately, while a PPL session only requires one warm up before you fly through the rest • You CAN spot build specific muscle groups through resistance training even though you cannot spot reduce fat, and split routines lend themselves naturally to prioritizing lagging areas • Adam ran a double PPL (six days per week, PPL twice) during his peak competition years, strategically reducing volume on less important muscle groups and adding volume to whatever he was trying to bring up for the next show • The pump you get from training one body part in a single session is dramatically greater than the pump from a full body session, and that experience matters for long term consistency and muscle connection • Full body training is better for beginners because it teaches appropriate intensity and movement practice, while the inability to fully recover before hitting the same muscle again punishes those who tend to overtrain • Split routines are an easier mental sell on low energy days because a chest, shoulders, and triceps session feels far less daunting than squatting, pressing, rowing, and overhead pressing all in one session Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 0:20 MAPS PPL 0:49 Sponsor: Rho Nutrition 2:07 Full body vs. split overview 2:28 What full body and split routines actually are 3:13 Adam's progression from full body to split 4:42 Why missing one day destroys a split 5:34 Why beginners should train full body 6:51 How exercise selection changes between full body and split routines 8:17 Spot building 9:38 The pump 10:24 Why split routines tend to be faster even at equal volume 11:43 Intensity differences 13:41 Using splits to bring up lagging muscle groups 17:44 Adam's double PPL strategy 19:46 How to adjust volume 20:00 Splits are an easier pill to swallow on low energy days 20:40 Sal's personal experience switching to a PPL style split 21:35 What the data actually says 23:42 MAPS PPL details, discount code, and at home version

Most people think burning calories is the key to fat loss… but that's not the full story. In this episode, the guys break down why building muscle is actually one of the most effective ways to improve body composition—and why the common "calories burned" argument completely misses the bigger picture. They dive into the science of metabolism, why muscle doesn't just burn more calories (at least not in the way you think), and what's really happening inside your body when you strength train.
