Let's get to it! [3:44] Interview! Shawn Punancy, welcome to RIMScast! [3:53] Shawn Punancy is the ERM Senior Manager at Delta Air Lines, Inc. Shawn will be at the RIMS ERM Conference 2025, November 17th and 18th. Shawn has a fascinating career. [5:00] Shawn was an intelligence analyst at the U.S. DOD from 2011 to 2012, then moved to the CIA as a Senior Intelligence Analyst for seven years. [5:18] Shawn says it was great working at the CIA. She thinks there are very few places where you can work and have such broad awareness. Her year at the DOD was to prepare her to work at the CIA. [6:10] As an Analyst, Shawn worked in counter-terrorism, counter-narcotics, traditional political analysis, and leadership analysis. She did some targeting work, which is helpful for ERM. [6:27] After Shawn left the government, she worked briefly for a consulting firm in Atlanta, Georgia, doing business operating risk. She got word of a job in the Delta Corporate Safety and Security Division on the Intelligence and Risk Mitigation Team. [6:51] Shawn joined Delta, doing that for two years. She got to meet her Director, Eric Mai, whom she absolutely adores, and she's not just saying that because he may listen to this! Eric Mai introduced Shawn to the world of ERM. [7:07] Shawn started to see all the nexuses that existed between multiple different risks. Shawn says that working in corporate security on risk mitigation is like working at the DOD, but working in ERM is like working at the CIA. [7:42] Shawn was in high school on 9/11, and her mother was on a plane during the 9/11 attacks. Thankfully, she was not on a plane that was targeted on that terrible day. It left a lasting impression. [7:55] Shawn went on to study those types of events in International Affairs and Politics. That's how she got to her path in the government. Shawn is mission-driven and purposeful in her work. [8:42] Shawn applied to Delta when someone sent her a job posting. Shawn saw the posting and thought it looked like it was written for her. Shawn is thankful it worked out. [8:58] Shawn started as Program Manager for Intelligence and Risk Mitigation. She held that position for almost two years. In December of 2023, Shawn became Manager of ERM. The position did not exist before Shawn. ERM had been one person since 2019, when it was begun. [9:37] Eric Mai set up the ERM program. He realized that for it to continuously improve and grow, he needed another person. He went to bat for that role. Around the time it was posted, Eric came to Shawn and said that she might want to consider it, and he would love to have her apply. [9:57] Shawn is super grateful that Eric asked her. [10:13] Shawn says it is striking that ERM has played a small role in many companies. What if you don't know who that person is, or you're not engaging with that person? [10:53] Shawn has noticed that in several industries, the aviation industry included, everything is highly siloed. How does one ERM person get to everybody across the business? How do they make ERM relevant for the leadership and the board? [11:15] Something different could happen any day in the airline industry. Shawn says every day they get a notification from their Duty Director about what the day will look like. Some days, the system looks good: they're moving tens of thousands of people on several thousand flights. [11:33] Other days, there's a hurricane or something, or there is a strike somewhere that completely upends the day. It's a lively environment. [11:56] The American Airlines regional jet and helicopter crash in Washington, D.C. this year put a spotlight on Safety and Risk Managers to ensure they had the proper protocols in place and understood all the communication channels. They double-checked the protocols. [12:40] One thing Shawn loves about the airline industry is that safety is for everyone. There's no competition in safety. No one places blame. They come together to ensure that they are in the best position to continue to put safety first, not only for customers but also for all employees. [13:17] If Shawn had a mantra, it would be, You get further together than you do as an individual. She learned that from her time in Corporate Safety and Security and as an ERM professional. She could not do her job without relationships and connections across the company. [14:05] Shawn says Delta has a strong governance structure. The risk committee reports to the executive leadership team. ERM meets with the risk committee monthly to talk about what is coming up. ERM tracks that, so as risks build, they remember what was said months ago. [14:29] They prepare themselves for the known events of the next couple of months, such as an upcoming audit, an issue with plane manufacturers, or a suspected coming fleet delay. [14:53] ERM uses its governance structure to think through how to manage the risk, who is responsible, who is touched, what should be reported up to the leadership, and what can be managed at the business level. [15:07] Looking longer-term, ERM recently started talking directly to board members, asking for their perceptions about risk over the next three to five years. ERM also asks that question of the business leadership annually, to make sure management shares the same vision as the board. [15:38] ERM adds value by showing where those visions aligned, or if and when they diverged. Using that information helps inform the broader risk landscape. ERM uses that to engage the Strategy team with their annual goals and pillars; their Annual “Flight Plan.” [16:08] ERM shows the collected data on where risk lies to the Strategy Team and asks how it might affect the Flight Plan and the Five-Year Strategy. It's the role of ERM to highlight the risks they've identified through the forums they've engaged. [16:36] Shawn has two on her ERM team, including herself. Her team has strong relationships across Delta. That helps ERM to be a force multiplier. They lean on their colleagues to help stay aware, figure out the best direction to guide ERM efforts, and make an impact where possible. [17:24] Quick Break!

[19:12] In the heat of a crisis, Delta Airlines has a number of immediate or intermediate response teams that stand up. ERM is a part of those teams. They help inform the strategy for how Delta will respond. In the immediate aftermath, ERM is in listening mode. [19:25] ERM takes what they heard and goes on to support the strategic planning, moving forward. Business Continuity or Corporate Communications will handle the immediate feedback and response. [19:38] If it's likely to have a long-lasting impact on Delta, ERM will facilitate conversations among stakeholders across the enterprise to ensure that Delta has completely and cleanly exited the crisis and that they're on a good footing to avoid future crises of the same ilk. [20:05] One Final Break! As many of you know, the RIMS ERM Conference 2025 will be held on November 17th and 18th in Seattle, Washington. We recently had ERM Conference Keynote Speaker Dan Chuparkoff on the show. [20:23] He is back, just to deliver a quick message about what you can expect from his keynote on “AI and the Future of Risk.” Dan, welcome back to RIMScast! [20:34] Dan says, Greetings, RIMS members and the global risk community! I'm Dan Chuparkoff, AI expert and the CEO of Reinvention Labs. I'm delighted to be your opening keynote on November 17th, at the RIMS ERM Conference 2025 in Seattle, Washington. [20:49] Artificial Intelligence is fueling the next era of work, productivity, and innovation. There are challenges in navigating anything new. This is especially true for risk management, as enterprises adapt to shifting global policies, economic swings, and a new generation of talent. [21:07] We'll have a realistic discussion about the challenges of preparing for the future of AI. To learn more about my keynote, “AI and the Future of Risk Management,” and how AI will impact Enterprise Risk Management for you, listen to my episode of RIMScast at RIMS.org/Dan. [21:26] Be sure to register for the RIMS ERM Conference 2025, in Seattle, Washington, on November 17th and 18th, by visiting the Events page on RIMS.org. I look forward to seeing you all there. [21:37] Justin thanks Dan and looks forward to seeing him again on November 17th and hearing all about the future of AI and risk management! [21:45] Let's Conclude Our Interview with One of the Presenters at the RIMS ERM Conference 2025, Shawn Punancy of Delta Airlines! [22:17] There are two opportunities to experience Shawn Punancy in person at the RIMS ERM Conference 2025, November 17th and 18th. She will be presenting with Lianne Appelt, the Head of Enterprise Risk Management at Salesforce: [22:47] Shawn says Lianne is the sweetest person she has ever met! Lianne is one of Justin's favorite people to work with on the Strategic Enterprise Risk Management Council. [23:24] On November 17th, at 11:45 a.m., Shawn and Lianne will present, “Connections Count: Strategic Networking to Strengthen Risk Oversight.” If you're a new risk professional or a rising star, and you want to get to the basics, this is the sort of session you attend. [24:05] Shawn gives the elevator pitch for the presentation. She says, if you understand anything about ERM, you understand that it's not something you can do alone. Having relationships across an enterprise is paramount to the success of any ERM program. [24:22] Figure out what opportunities exist to pursue those relationships. Annual or quarterly risk assessments are natural avenues for building relationships, but there are lots of others. Outside of formal structures, how can you engage people? [24:39] How can you use the data you've collected to drive conversations that may not otherwise exist? Those conversations inform you better and equip you better as an ERM professional as you get ready to present to your leadership team, audit committee, or board. [25:42] Shawn has found that offering external information that may not otherwise be available to her stakeholders is a good way for her to go in and have a conversation. [26:00] The information she offers is either something she's gotten from a vendor, or a risk source she has been tracking, or something ERM has done internally but hasn't publicized. She says, We have this piece of information we think is valuable to you. [26:20] Shawn finds that it's an incredible way to open doors, strengthen or start relationships, and use that to find a way to continue the conversation iteratively. It's been incredible for expanding who ERM talks to since Shawn has joined the team. [26:37] ERM already had a broad network, but looking for new opportunities has expanded it. [26:43] Shawn says Never let a good crisis or risk go to waste. ERM gets a daily bulletin of every news clip that mentions Delta. [27:00] ERM uses that as an opportunity to say, We've not engaged with you, but we saw this and it's something worth tracking at a more macro level on this other part of the spectrum. We'd love to talk to you about how the two pieces connect. [27:17] Some of that depends on company culture. Delta is one of those amazing places where you can email just about everybody and they will respond. That has been very helpful for Shawn. She knows that's not easily replicated everywhere. Shawn has also never met a stranger. [27:41] Understanding that ERM has value to add, whether it's relaying information or showing interconnections, there's a lot there, and people are usually responsive. [28:17] Talking to the board goes back to the relationships you have and the conversations you've had. If you're talking to the right people throughout the year, who have access to significant board member concerns, use that to help craft your story. [28:37] Shawn says pairing the insight you've gotten from those relationships with the data you have in your program helps drive a compelling narrative. [28:56] On November 18th, at 9:00 a.m., Shawn and Lianne will present an advanced-level session, “How Deep Should You Go?: Rightsizing Risk Assessments for Maximum Impact,” tailoring risk assessments to organizational maturity. [29:21] Shawn says it's a mistake for an ERM group not to understand what they have at their disposal in terms of data or stakeholders. Everything doesn't work for everybody. [29:28] You don't need a major, formalized 16-step assessment process when you're a new and burgeoning program. An older, more established program doesn't need something overly complex that doesn't match your company culture. [29:45] Shawn says she has been doing ERM for just shy of two years, so she's not the foremost expert in the room. She likes to rely on her historical experience of taking a bunch of data and talking to a lot of people, collecting intel, and figuring out what the story is. [30:02] Shawn is super passionate about this. With the 8,000 ways you can do a risk assessment, it's so important to consider some specific factors that will help you to have a stronger impact when you do the assessment. Shawn will save those for the presentation. [30:55] Shawn says she firmly believes the biggest opportunity for ERM professionals is to find and communicate that interconnected risk. We hear it everywhere. Justin points out that a paper on “Understanding Interconnected Risks” is in this episode's show notes. [31:13] Shawn thinks that's the biggest opportunity for ERM. Many teams have their risk evaluation silos. Having someone come in and show how A is connected to D, is connected to X, is the next step and the game-changer for a lot of teams. [31:38] Justin says, I'm looking forward to meeting you in person, and I'm so glad that you're going to be delivering the two sessions, Monday, November 17th, and Tuesday, November 18th! It was a pleasure to meet you! [32:08] Shawn is very thankful for this opportunity and super excited about talking about this content, partnering with Lianne, and meeting the broader RIMS community.

In this conversation, OP Almaraz and Paul Brady discuss the complexities of wildfire risk and insurance. Paul shares his unique background in wildfire mitigation and how it informs his work at Green Shield Risk Solutions. They explore the challenges of modeling wildfire risk compared to other perils, the importance of understanding wildfire behavior, and the innovative solutions being developed to assess and mitigate these risks. The discussion emphasizes the need for better communication and understanding between insurance providers and homeowners regarding wildfire risks and safety measures. In this conversation, Paul Brady and OP Almaraz discuss the complexities of insurance coverage in wildfire-prone areas, emphasizing the importance of community efforts, vegetation management, and the role of designations like Firewise. They explore the challenges faced by homeowners with high-value properties, the dynamics of the real estate market, and the future of insurance models in the context of increasing wildfire risks. Innovations in insurance products aimed at high-value homes are also highlighted, along with the need for standardized mitigation practices to restore confidence in the insurance market. Highlights: Paul Brady has a unique background in wildfire mitigation and insurance. There is a significant gap in the insurance industry's understanding of wildfire risk. Wildfire risk modeling is more complex than modeling for other perils like floods. Wildfire behavior is influenced by topography, weather, and fuels. The radiant heat from a wildfire can cause significant damage to nearby structures. Green Shield Risk Solutions aims to make homes more insurable against wildfires. Their technology utilizes updated aerial imagery for risk assessment. Homeowners can order wildfire risk reports directly from Green Shield. Defensible space around properties is crucial for wildfire safety. Community efforts are essential in mitigating wildfire risks. HOAs can benefit from hiring firms to visualize community impact. Firewise designation can positively influence insurance coverage. Reducing vegetation can lower risk assessment models over time. High-value properties face unique insurance challenges post-wildfire. The real estate market is affected by insurance availability and risk perception. Wildfire risk is becoming a nationwide concern, not just localized. Insurance companies are hesitant to insure properties in high-risk areas. Standardizing mitigation practices is crucial for restoring insurance confidence. Innovative insurance products are being developed for high-value homes. Community efforts in wildfire mitigation can lead to better insurance outcomes. Closing Thoughts This episode of All Things Wildfire serves as both a wake-up call and a guidepost for navigating wildfire disasters. Remember, preparation and community effort are key to reducing future risks. For more tips and updates, follow us on social media and visit our website.

Michael Wara is a lawyer and an expert in wildfire policy who says that solutions are out there, but face financial, political, and cultural resistance. What's needed, he says, are “whole-of-society” approaches that raise wildfire risk to the community level. In this regard, the devastation in Los Angeles in 2025 could provide the spark needed for smarter communication, better policies, and renewed urgency on wildfires, Wara tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

What happens when a former medical device professional takes his precision, risk management skills, and analytical mindset into the world of real estate investing? You get Chris Larsen, the founder of Next-Level Income and this week's podcast/YouTube show guest, who has placed $120M+ in equity across $2B in acquisitions as a capital allocator. Mastering the Capital Allocator Model Chris started as an active investor, acquiring multifamily, self-storage, and mobile home parks directly. As his network and experience grew, so did his role, evolving into a capital allocator who partners with sponsors to raise capital for them. By negotiating preferential terms and structuring his investments through funds, he helps investors access deals with higher returns than they would be able to investing directly with the sponsor. Navigating Risk, Reward, and Market Challenges With interest rate volatility and shifting market conditions, Chris has seen both wins and losses. Some deals have outperformed, while others have faced capital calls and suspended distributions - a reality many sponsors are dealing with today. His approach? Absolute transparency and strong relationships, the same principles that guided his career in the world of medical devices. The Power of Investor Relationships Chris has built a 300+ investor network largely through referrals, podcasts, and his book funnel. His ability to bridge his expertise from one high-risk industry to another makes his insights invaluable for anyone looking to navigate real estate investing like a seasoned pro. *** Explore the world of real estate capital allocators—a fresh approach to financing that's reshaping the industry. In this series, I talk with allocators, investors, sponsors, and service providers to give you an inside look at this fast-growing space. PLUS, subscribe to my free newsletter for real estate investors and gain access to: * Introductions to sponsors, allocators, and investment opportunities. * Insights drawn from my 30+ years of experience in real estate investing. * Hacks and tactics for raising capital to help you scale your real estate portfolio.

Brad and Michael begin the discussion laying out the legal issues around the weight loss drugs that have become so popular today and what physicians prescribing such drugs need to be aware of – from patient consent issues, to compounding challenges and state-specific dispensing regulations, to marketing rules and more. The conversation then shifts to mergers and acquisitions concerning medical practices. Michael and Brad relate the shift they have seen in the last year from “wall street” deals to “main street” deals and what this shift means for physicians who may consider exiting their practice. David then asks the attorneys about the proposed rules out of the federal government regarding non-competes, where those rules stand and what physicians need to know about non-competes in the medical context. The podcast concludes with Brad and Michael leading a discussion around how physicians can best work with healthcare attorneys and the value of legal subscription models.
