Flooding is becoming an increasingly obvious mega issue in the world today. It costs anywhere between $200 billion and $500 billion in the US alone each year. They're 31% of natural catastrophes and 1.8 billion people, about a quarter of the planet, live under flood risk. This is a nightmare for insurers who are raising their premiums in response, 17% last year in the US alone. But what if you could change the cost structure of this issue - where possible, allow homes and businesses enough lead time to take high value items out of harm's way, take the cars off the parking lot of the dealership and the goods off the warehouse floor? This can transform the insurance economics around flooding and is exactly what Previsico is doing.  Jonathan Jackson is an exceptional entrepreneur now on his fourth company, and it was a pleasure to have him on The Fundamental Molecule to hear what he's building at Previsico and how he's building it.

This enables businesses to mitigate up to 70% of flood damage and transform the economics of insurance. He discusses Previsico's origins as a UK university spin-out, its customer-driven US market entry, the significance of a clear ROI, and core company values such as fairness and purpose. Jonathan finishes by advising entrepreneurs to focus on their specific area of expertise. 00:00 - Why Flooding Is a Massive Insurance Crisis 01:59 - How Insurers Struggle to Price Flood Risk 07:04 - Key Differences in UK vs US Flood Insurance 08:47 - Why Businesses Are Forced to Self-Insure Flood Loss 09:58 - Provisico's Approach to Preventing 70% of Flood Damage 11:14 - How Forecasts and Sensors Enable Real-Time Response 14:52 - The ROI of Ground-Truthing Flood Data 16:24 - How a Government Grant Sparked Provisico's Founding 21:10 - Breaking Into Insurance Through Public-Private Partnerships 24:18 - Cracking the Insurance Market with Lloyd's Lab and Zurich 25:40 - How to Sell to Risk-Averse, Slow-Moving Enterprises 29:12 - Expanding to the U.S. Through Customer Pull, Not Push 31:11 - Building Culture Around Fairness, Purpose, and Creativity 37:18 - Why Water Entrepreneurs Must Stay Laser-Focused Links: Burnt Island Ventures: https://www.burntislandventures.com/ https://previsico.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-jackson-a393102/ SM Material Key Takeaways: "Flood risk maps estimate property location risk. Insurers use them to determine underwriting." "A 1% flood risk every year means you could be flooded year after year. It's about communication." "Provisico's service, with a good flood plan, can achieve 70% commercial loss prevention." "We enable insurers to mitigate losses, improving their profitability through accurate flood warnings." "Our flood forecast prepares organizations for flood, while sensors provide high-confidence alerts." "Our vision is global. We aim to reduce flood loss by 50% or more, helping people worldwide."

In this special episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, recorded at the 2025 Corporate Counsel Summit, SBS senior legal counsel Nicole Choolun reflects on why it is so important for the law department to showcase its risk appetite. Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Choolun about the importance of being seen as less risk-averse, legal's perceptions from other business functions, and balancing one's risk-averse training against having a greater risk appetite. Choolun also delves into the questions that legal should ask of itself to have a greater risk appetite, the flow-on benefits that come from not being as risk-averse, what she has learnt from times when she and her team have been less risk-averse, and how best other in-house can take steps to be better seen as trusted business advisers.

Selling your home and buying another simultaneously ranks among life's most stressful transitions. This emotional tightrope has most property owners asking the same question: "Do I sell first or buy first?" Drawing from decades of real estate experience and personal moving journeys, we unpack this common dilemma with practical, actionable advice.The secret isn't in choosing one path over another, but in what we call the "two horses nose-to-nose" approach. Rather than viewing buying and selling as separate mountains to climb, successful movers make incremental progress on both fronts simultaneously. We break down how to time these transactions so they ultimately meet in perfect synchronicity, allowing you to exchange contracts on both properties on the same day.With 8% of Australians planning a move this year (up from just 3% last year), this conversation couldn't be more relevant. We explore the psychology of getting into "sell mode" early, the practical steps for preparing your home months before listing, and why making genuine offers on potential purchases starts bringing both transactions together naturally. Did you know one in four property purchases last year were cash buys? For the rest of us requiring financing, we share tips on engaging brokers early and understanding your true financial position.Whether you're upsizing, downsizing, or simply changing locations, our stepping-stone approach removes the paralysis that keeps many homeowners stuck. The most important takeaway? Small steps in the right direction beat perfect planning every time. Start your property journey with confidence by implementing these proven strategies from those who've successfully navigated this dance countless times.

This week, we're re-upping our episode with writer Cord Jefferson, who just won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for American Fiction, which he also directed. American Fiction was adapted from the 2001 novel Erasure, by writer Percival Everett. And since Sunday night, the film, and Cord's comments about it, have been provoking a lot of interesting conversation about Black representation in Hollywood and the publishing industry—which also happens to be the subject of the film itself, and which we encourage you to dig into.  Cord, as you may know, is a former journalist and Gawker editor with very strong opinions about the economics of cultural production. Which is why we weren't surprised when he used his acceptance speech to offer a pretty candid take about risk aversion in Hollywood—and the need for executives to take more chances on independent filmmakers. “I understand that this is a risk-averse industry. I get it. But $200 million dollar movies are also a risk,” he said. “Instead of making one $200 million dollar movie, try making twenty $10 million dollar movies, or fifty $4 million dollar movies.”   It wasn't the first time we'd heard Cord talking about this stuff. In fact, this was one of the topics we went long on with him when we had him on the show in 2021 to mark the start of Succession's third season. Cord was a writer for season two, in addition to working on series like The Good Place, Station Eleven, and Watchmen, for which he won an Emmy. What started as a conversation about Succession's Roy family—and Cord's experiences transitioning from a career in media to a career in TV and film—evolved into a deeper meditation on the struggles writers in both fields are facing in a creative economy where culture is evaluated based on numbers, where pre-visibility and remakes trump original ideas, and where what executives believe is “good for business” feels increasingly incompatible with artistic risk-taking.  We recorded this conversation long before last year's Writer's Guild and SAG-AFTRA strikes, not to mention American Fiction itself, but the issues we discuss have become only more relevant with time. You can think of it as an extended riff on the argument he made on national TV this week—and it's also a great look into where Cord comes from, the moral dilemmas that result when we allow algorithms to evaluate art, and perhaps some of the seeds of thoughts that inspired American Fiction. Support our independent journalism by becoming a paid subscriber at theculturejournalist.substack.com.

Pittsburgh-based investor and house flipper John Walker of Turnkey Investment Properties and his business partner, Jim Auten, usually have around 10 flips on the go at any time. When rates were low, and business was booming, that number doubled. However, high rates and low inventory have seen many of their fellow flippers exit the market.  “It's a case of the last man standing right now,” Walker says. According to recent Bank of America research, it's a scenario played out across the country, with sellers staying put for fear of sacrificing a low mortgage interest rate. About 80% of outstanding U.S. mortgages are at interest rates below 5%. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A German delegation traveled to North Korea this week to inspect the condition of the country's embassy in Pyongyang, in what appears to be the first visit by European staff in some four years.  NK News Seoul Correspondent Ifang Bremer (@IfangBremer) discusses what this could mean for a broader DPRK border reopening and the return of international aid agencies, as well as the five-year anniversary of the failed Hanoi Summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Then, Professor Ruediger Frank joins the podcast to talk about how the DPRK has reassessed risk amid the emergence of a “new Cold War” and how this has driven its recent closure of embassies in several countries. He also discusses Pyongyang's relationship with Beijing and Moscow and why he believes Kim Jong Un has not actually given up on reunification despite the DPRK's recent revision of its inter-Korean policy. Dr. Ruediger Frank (@Ruediger Frank) is a professor of East Asian economy and society at the University of Vienna, where he heads the Department of East Asian Studies. He spent one semester as a language student at Kim Il Sung University in Pyongyang in 1991/1992. He holds a master's degree in Korean studies and international relations and a Ph.D. in economics. About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Jacco Zwetsloot (@JaccoZed) exclusively for NK News, covering all things DPRK — from news to extended interviews with leading experts and analysts in the field, along with insight from our very own journalists.

Are doctors really “risk averse?”  In this episode, Dr. Peter Kim will provide you with a 5 step process to move from being “risk averse” to a “risk manager” to get the outcome you want.  Physicians utilize the risk-benefit ratio daily to help you process the level of benefit received for the decision made. To be risk averse is about the caution you take, which may cause the inability to make decisions that require risk.
