This podcast was a really satisfying one to make because it is unrelentingly positive in its outlook and highlights how insurance can underwrite its own sustainable growth by being in the right place at the right time. The promise of Africa is alluring - 54 countries, a vast land mass with huge untapped resources, a young population, growing trade that is now freeing up and massive potential economic development. But it's not at all easy in practice to enable and harness that growth. Many have tried, got it wrong and ultimately withdrawn. So when I meet someone who has brought the best of Lloyd's and other specialty markets to bring sophisticated insurance products to these and other developing markets I really want to find out how they have gone about it. Mikir Shah is the charismatic CEO of Africa Specialty Risks (ASR), a fast-growing business that is now writing around $500mn GWP and which has just secured support from growth investor Vitruvian Partners. Mikir is a Kenyan who combines actuarial training with long experience in investment banking and so comes to the insurance industry with a unique perspective. In this relaxed interview we run through ASR's strategy to bring corporate specialty insurance to developing markets through the combination of localised underwriting with advanced technology. Mikir is irrepressibly positive, very smart and very friendly and shares his insights and hard-won knowledge extremely freely. By the end of the next half hour, I guarantee you will be feeling as positive about the prospects for African and other emerging markets as he is.

Most episodes of this podcast deal with the here and now, the day-to-day cut and thrust of what is going on in the market. This podcast is completely different because it gives us a view into the future of broking. Clyde Bernstein is the Placement Technology & Trading Analytics Leader at Aon and in the first half of this podcast we examine the global broker's new Digital Placement Exchange (DPX) placing system, designed to automate the placing of following lines. Once that essential building block of the conversation is out of the way, the interview really begins to take off. What Aon is in the middle of doing is removing friction and cost from the placing process, while fully connecting all its brokers with the whole global market and all the insights the vast amount of risk and market data it has at its disposal can afford. Exploring the logical medium- and long-term consequences for the market is the really interesting part of our discussion. The transformation is profound. A market with far greater liquidity, access to deeper pools of capital and an ability to trade risk much faster and more efficiently is what emerges. Productivity, customer service and product innovation should also surge. The role of the broker could also change fundamentally. But the best thing about this conversation is not the clarity of the blue-sky thinking on display, but rather the fact that the person shaping the vision is resolutely a broker and not a technologist. In his long career Clyde has brokered claims, reinsurance and specialty risks. He is one of us – a lifelong broker who has learnt to engage with cutting edge technology and not the other way around. This means that our discussion is always grounded from the perspective of the real life of a broker solving client problems and not the utopian vision of a technologist who has never placed a risk or paid a claim. It's mind-expanding stuff and one of the best discussions on the future of broking I have ever recorded. I highly recommend a listen.

یووال نوح هراری، تاریخ‌دان و نویسنده‌ی اسرائیلی، در دو دهه‌ی اخیر به یکی از شناخته‌شده‌ترین روشنفکران عمومی جهان تبدیل شده است. کتاب‌های او میلیون‌ها نسخه فروخته و به ده‌ها زبان ترجمه شده‌اند؛ آثاری که از گذشته‌ی دور انسان آغاز می‌کنند و تا آینده‌ی هوش مصنوعی، مهندسی زیستی و شبکه‌های اطلاعاتی پیش می‌روند. اهمیت هراری بیش از آن‌که در ارائه‌ی کشفیات علمی تازه باشد، در توانایی او برای کنار هم گذاشتن تاریخ، زیست‌شناسی تکاملی، اقتصاد، فلسفه، سیاست و فناوری و تبدیل آن‌ها به روایت‌هایی بزرگ و قابل‌فهم برای مخاطب عمومی است.در این اپیزود، آثار اصلی هراری را به‌ترتیب بررسی می‌کنیم. در «انسان خردمند» یا Sapiens می‌پرسیم چگونه هومو ساپینس از میان چند گونه‌ی انسانی باقی ماند و به گونه‌ی مسلط زمین تبدیل شد؛ چه نقشی زبان، تخیل جمعی و داستان‌هایی مانند دین، پول، ملت و قانون در همکاری گسترده‌ی انسان‌ها داشتند؛ و آیا انقلاب کشاورزی واقعاً پیشرفت بود یا، آن‌گونه که هراری به‌گونه‌ای چالش‌برانگیز می‌گوید، نوعی «تله» برای انسان. سپس در «انسان خداگونه» یا Homo Deus به آینده می‌رویم؛ جایی که هراری از تلاش بشر برای افزایش طول عمر، دستکاری زیست‌شناسی، ارتقای توانایی‌های شناختی، هوش مصنوعی، داده‌گرایی و احتمال شکل‌گیری نابرابری‌های تازه میان انسان‌ها سخن می‌گوید.در «۲۱ درس برای قرن ۲۱» تمرکز از گذشته و آینده به زمان حال منتقل می‌شود: آینده‌ی کار، آزادی و برابری در عصر الگوریتم‌ها، ملی‌گرایی، دین، مهاجرت، جنگ، تروریسم، پسا‌حقیقت، آموزش، بحران معنا و ضرورت فروتنی فکری. در مجموعه‌ی ما تفکر ناپذیرها یا Unstoppable Us و نسخه‌های گرافیکی «انسان خردمند» نیز می‌بینیم که هراری چگونه همین روایت بزرگ را برای نسل جوان‌تر بازگو می‌کند. و سرانجام به «نکسوس» یا Nexusمی‌رسیم؛ کتابی که تاریخ بشر را از زاویه‌ی شبکه‌های اطلاعاتی، از زبان و نوشتار تا چاپ، اینترنت و هوش مصنوعی، بازخوانی می‌کند و پرسشی بسیار امروزی را پیش می‌کشد: آیا افزایش اطلاعات الزاماً ما را به حقیقت نزدیک‌تر می‌کند، یا می‌تواند ابزار قدرتمندتری برای تولید توهم، پروپاگاندا و کنترل اجتماعی باشد؟اما این اپیزود صرفاً ستایش هراری نیست. آثار او را باید با همان روحیه‌ی انتقادی‌ای خواند که خود او اغلب از آن دفاع می‌کند. هراری استاد روایت‌سازی و ساده‌کردن مسائل پیچیده است، اما همین ویژگی گاهی نقطه‌ضعف او نیز می‌شود. برخی از ادعاهای او—از «انقلاب شناختی» حدود هفتاد هزار سال پیش تا تصویر بسیار منفی از انقلاب کشاورزی یا برخی پیش‌بینی‌هایش درباره‌ی هوش مصنوعی—موضوع اجماع علمی نیستند. او گاهی فرضیه، تفسیر تاریخی و یافته‌ی علمی تثبیت‌شده را در یک روایت واحد کنار هم می‌گذارد و ممکن است برای خواننده‌ی غیرمتخصص مرز میان آن‌ها روشن نباشد. بنابراین، Sapiens را نباید کتاب درسی انسان‌شناسی، Homo Deus را پیش‌بینی قطعی آینده، یا Nexus را آخرین کلام درباره‌ی هوش مصنوعی دانست.ارزش واقعی هراری شاید دقیقاً در جای دیگری باشد: در پرسش‌هایی که ایجاد می‌کند. او ما را وادار می‌کند دوباره درباره‌ی «پیشرفت»، «انسان بودن»، «آزادی»، «حقیقت»، «دین»، «قدرت»، «فناوری» و «آینده» فکر کنیم. خواندن او زمانی بیشترین ارزش را دارد که نه با شیفتگی و پذیرش کامل، و نه با رد ایدئولوژیک، بلکه با کنجکاوی و شک‌گرایی نقادانه همراه باشد؛ ادعاهای علمی او را با منابع تخصصی مقایسه کنیم، میان واقعیت، تفسیر و گمانه‌زنی تمایز بگذاریم و از روایت جذاب، جایگزینی برای شواهد نسازیم.در این اپیزود هشیوار تلاش می‌کنم همین کار را انجام دهم: از «انسان خردمند» تا «نکسوس»، در کنار هم ابتدا ببینیم هراری چه می‌گوید و چرا نوشته‌هایش چنین تأثیر جهانی پیدا کرده‌اند، و سپس خیلی اجمالی بپرسیم کدام بخش‌های این روایت با شواهد علمی و تاریخی سازگارند، کجاها محل اختلاف‌اند و چرا شاید بهترین شیوه‌ی خواندن هراری این باشد که او را نه مرجع نهایی، بلکه نقطه‌ی آغاز یک گفت‌وگوی عمیق درباره‌ی گذشته، حال و آینده‌ی انسان بدانیم.تمام کتابهای آقای هراری رو‌ با صدای گرم آقای فرهاد ارکانی از این کانال بشنوید:https://t.me/list4Homosapiensfa/14— — — — —*

Backyard gardens flush with cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers where bees buzz and chickens scratch. Beyond, a forest filled with blackberries and jewelweed. Inspired by childhood memories of his grandmother's overflowing backyard garden, author Andrew Flachs has embarked on a multi-continent, decades-long look at agriculture and its value. The dominant view of agriculture has focused only on what we produce. It sees value in terms of capital gains or yield efficiency, masking how our global food system produces tremendous amounts of food commodities while failing to feed people, support rural communities, or enhance ecological well-being. Feeding the World as if People Mattered: How Small Farms Produce Value Beyond Yields (University of Arizona Press, 2026) asks us to look more deeply and more humanely at what we perceive to be most valuable in our agricultural systems. This book draws on fifteen years of anthropological research, taking readers to fields in South India, Eastern Europe, and North America, where people are already feeding the future amid global change. From these fields, Flachs shows us how a radical rethinking of the value of small farms and farmers is already happening. Bringing together conversations in agriculture, economics, anthropology, and the environmental humanities, Flachs deftly shows how small farms reproduce social and ecological relationships that are the only sustainable path forward. For anyone who is curious about the food on their plate and the people who helped to get it there, Feeding the World as if People Mattered will offer a new way to find value in the food we grow and the people who grow it. Dr. Andrew Flachs researches food and agriculture systems, exploring genetically modified crops, heirloom seeds, and our own microbiomes. Born and raised in rural Pennsylvania, he graduated from Oberlin College with dual Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Arts degrees in 2010. He earned his PhD from Washington University in St. Louis in April 2016 and was a 2016-2017 Volkswagen Exchange Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Heidelberg University Karl Jaspers Centre for Advanced Transcultural Studies. He is currently an associate professor of anthropology at Purdue University. His work among farmers in North America, the Balkans, and South India investigates ecological knowledge and technological change in agricultural systems spanning Cleveland urban gardens and Indian GM cotton fields. His research has been supported by public and private institutions including the Department of Education, the National Geographic Society, the American Institute of Indian Studies, and the Social Science Research Council, while his writing on agricultural development has been featured in numerous peer-reviewed publications as well as public venues including Sapiens, Salon, and the National Geographic magazine. His work has been recognized by eight international awards, including most recently as a finalist for the Society for Economic Anthropology Kate Browne Creativity in Research Award and the International Convention of Asia Scholars' Book Prize. Sandra Elizabeth is a graduate student enrolled at the Department of Sociology in Shiv Nadar University, Delhi- NCR. She looks at rice farmers' and their way of life in Kuttanad, Kerala—which is dubbed as the state's rice granary. She can be reached out on X.   Learn more about your ad choices.

In this new episode of One Vision Podcast, Paolo Sironi joins Theodora Lau to unveil his new book, Quantum Sapiens, a philosophical literary thriller on artificial intelligence, quantum gravity, and the origins of human consciousness. A burning question: Why now?We talk about the "I love you" problem and what happens when we attribute meaning to words that machines give us. Paolo invites us to think about the journey ahead of us before we walk through Alice's mirror. What do we need to carry with us? What do we leave behind? An exhilarating conversation about the present and future of technology that you won't want to miss. No PhD required.

Paolo invites us to think about the journey ahead of us before we walk through Alice's mirror. What do we need to carry with us? What do we leave behind? An exhilarating conversation about the present and future of technology that you won't want to miss. No PhD required.

Today's Episode is one of those interviews that give you a warm feeling of anticipation when you get it in the diary, then when you're researching and preparing the questions, you're really looking forward to it, and finally the recording itself session happens and it goes even better than you hoped. Now a couple of weeks later I have just listened back and I'm still smiling because this is something quite special and very different from the everyday. Richard Brindle and Clive Washbourn are two of the most celebrated underwriters of their generation and have each been on the podcast more than once in their own right. For the last five years Richard and Clive have been underwriting under the same group organisational roof in The Fidelis Partnership and Navium respectively. Richard even cited Clive's new-found joie de vivre at Navium as the inspiration for the bifurcation of Fidelis into the Fidelis Partnership and Pelagos. This podcast is only briefly about the grand issues of the day. My interviewees very quickly deal with these and then we start examining much more timeless and valuable questions. The core of this meeting is really a long discussion about what makes a good underwriter and then what makes a good underwriter a great one. We examine all of this in the context of the AI revolution and how to apply it to the business of outperforming in insurance underwriting. This is a masterclass that will teach you an awful lot. Along the way you'll also spend quality time with two of the market's strongest and most charismatic personalities. The result is an instant classic that provides a valuable listen for any insurance professional at any stage in their career. NOTES: At time of recording Fidelis Insurance Group had only just rebranded to Pelagos Insurance Capital, so if there is the odd slip of the tongue, be clear that we should have referred to Pelagos, and will definitely be doing so from now onwards. Richard mentions the Sharpe Ratio, which is an investment metric used to measure the relative volatility of the returns of a company. Events in Iran, the Gulf States and the Straits of Hormuz are incredibly volatile and have already changed fundamentally, even in the short time between recording this interview and its release date. Please keep yourself best informed by using up-to-the-minute news and intelligence sources. Finally Richard mentions that there are two charities. The Fidelis Foundation is The Fidelis Partnership's charity, and Richard's personal charity is called The Muriel Jones Foundation.

Nach und nach habe ich angefangen, mich zu fragen, ob es ein Fehler war, dass wir uns selbst als Homo sapiens bezeichnen. Sapiens bedeutet "wissend" oder "könnend", mit anderen Worten "weise" oder "klug". Entnommen aus: Erling Kagge "Gehen. Weitergehen - Eine Anleitung", aus dem Norwegischen von Ulrich Sonnenberg, Insel Verlag, Berlin 2018

Today's guest has a job that is almost unique in the global insurance industry. That's because his organisation has been formed through a unique exercise that split a standard insurance company into an MGA in charge of underwriting and a balance sheet in charge of allocating capital to risk. All this means that Dan Burrows, Group CEO Pelagos Insurance Capital, is probably the only pure capital allocator in existence. There are lots of investors in the global insurance market, allocating capital to insurance companies, but they are many steps removed from the risk and are only likely to review their allocations annually. What's unique about Pelagos is that it is much closer to the underwriting process, reviewing risk and capital decisions in almost real time. To paraphrase economic terms, whereas most investors in insurance are macro, Pelagos is very much micro. It takes some unique qualities to pull this kind of thing off and that's what makes this podcast so fascinating. Dan is a unique character in a unique job with a unique perspective on the market and I'm sure that some of what you're about to hear will surprise you. In this podcast we examine the re-brand to Pelagos, the maturing of the long-term relationship with the Fidelis Partnership and diversification into other underwriting channels, the prospects for profitable trading as the market becomes more competitive, thoughts around carrier M&A, as well as the big questions such as the best applications of AI in insurance and the seemingly relentless advance of portfolio solutions underwriting. Dan is calm, softly-spoken and thoughtful, but is also razor-sharp and able to provide instant feedback or pushback. In short he strikes me as the ideal foil for smart, entrepreneurial underwriting teams. This is an engrossing and revealing encounter which I can I highly recommend to anyone.

Today's Episode is a catch-up with two reinsurance brokers back on the podcast after an absence of over two-and-a-half years. That's long enough for most guests, but for an executive team that has been building out a Reinsurance broking operation in earnest for only a little longer than this podcast has been in existence, it's an age. Since we last spoke Tim Gardner Global CEO, and Bob Bisset, CEO North America at Lockton Re have seen the business hit profitability, witnessed revenue push through $300mn and headcount exceed 600. What's more, in that time reinsurance market dynamics have been transformed and emerging technologies like AI and market phenomena such as facilitisation and portfolio solutions have broken through and re-written business growth strategies. So we clearly had a lot to catch up about. Tim and Bob are brokers' brokers and that makes conversations exceeding easy to start and even easier to maintain and develop. With these two you always end up with a little more than what you thought you were going to get when you started out. This is a high-energy and fun conversation. So if you want to understand in depth the state of and prospects for global insurance and reinsurance markets and where Lockton Re is positioning itself to serve them, listen on. I had a blast and I know you will too. NOTES: Bob mentions a Keith. He is referring to Keith Harrison, CEO of Lockton Re International LINKS: We thank our naming sponsor AdvantageGo, now part of Sapiens: https://www.advantagego.com

I'm really happy about today's podcast and that's because today's guest is a shining example of a new, very well-prepared generation of leaders that is coming through the ranks in the international insurance sector. With senior roles in the company market and inside Lloyd's itself Stephanie Ogden was already well-rounded before she took on her current role as the CEO of the Munich Re Syndicate at Lloyd's. Steph is a breath of fresh air – actually I'd say more like a blast. Listening back to this conversation, I have rarely spoken to someone who carries themselves as naturally as she does. I spoke to the same person before, during and after our recording. What you hear is what you get and what you get is a very clear sense of how one of the Lloyd's market's most consistently successful businesses sees the market today, where it sees it heading and how it intends to engage. This is a very well-rounded conversation. As one might expect, it's technical and financial but it's also technological, commercial, professional, passionate, personal and laced with humour. Steph is highly engaging and is well across the core challenges facing the London and global specialty markets, from the opportunities arising from the internationalisation of the market to the impact of technological transformation and AI. Talking to Steph made me feel a little old – but in a good way. Growing old isn't easy, but when people really don't enjoy getting old it's because they think that things are getting worse than they used to be, not better. Forty-five minutes with Steph and the only conclusion is that many things are definitely getting better and the market's best days are ahead of, and not behind it.

Episode Summary In this episode, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive deep into the difference between being "rich" and "wealthy," explore frameworks for financial decision-making, and break down practical systems to help coaches and business owners accumulate lasting, quiet wealth (not just loud riches). They tackle the psychology behind wealth, the dangers of FOMO-driven habits, good versus bad debt, AI's role in coaching, and unconventional book recommendations for sharper coaching minds. Stick around for Karl's "moment of Zen" on intentionally shaping the feel of your life and business. Key Topics Covered Rich vs. Wealthy: The Real Difference Karl Bryan lays out the classic Shaq example: "I'm rich making $10 million, but the team owner is wealthy." Rich displays as loud (cars, houses, spend), while wealth is quiet and built by what you don't spend or sell—accumulated over time 02:30. Wealth results from assets held and never sold, while rich is about consumption and visible spending. FOMO and "keeping up with the Kardashians" fuel expensive habits that keep people from accumulating real wealth 05:48. Good Debt vs. Bad Debt Good debt creates positive returns (e.g., property investments that cashflow or machinery that generates more than its payment). Bad debt (especially student loans) is debt you can't escape, often with no financial upside 08:35. Why Optionality Trumps Just "Getting Rich" Karl explains why optionality—having choices—is the ultimate wealth: "Live where you want, drive what you want, do what you want." But beware of moving the goalposts due to FOMO 09:28. Tariffs and Manufacturing Jobs The duo discuss why tariffs alone aren't bringing back traditional manufacturing jobs. AI, automation, and energy are where the future is headed—not trying to revive 1950s economies 12:10. Unconventional Book Recommendations for Coaches Deep-dive recommendations include "Confessions of an Economic Hitman," "The Creature from Jekyll Island," "Antifragile," "What I Learned Losing a Million Dollars," "Sapiens," and "Principles." Each offers powerful mental models, psychological insights, and frameworks—far beyond conventional business books 16:16. Real Estate as a Growth Lever Karl shares advanced real estate strategies (especially in niches like mobile homes and boutique hotels), advocating for accumulating assets that pay you forever, not just selling for a one-time gain 30:09. Designing Your Home, Business, and Life for the Right Feel The "moment of Zen" focuses on intentionally defining how you want your business, home, and life to feel—and structuring rules, systems, and rewards to support that vision 34:17. Notable Quotes "Rich is loud, wealthy is quiet. You want to become wealthy. You want to guide your clients to be wealthy." – Karl Bryan 07:00 "Earned money equals never sell… Introduce me to a family with old money, and I'll introduce you to a great-grandfather who didn't sell." – Karl Bryan 04:25 "FOMO is your most expensive habit... We used to keep up with the Joneses, now it's keeping up with the Kardashians." – Karl Bryan 05:47 "Leadership starts with telling the truth. You have to tell yourself the truth." – Karl Bryan 05:20 "Tariffs: you can't tariff your way back to 1950. The jobs coming back are automated factories with robotic jobs. Amazon 101." – Karl Bryan 12:28 "The real opportunity is energy, tech, and land. That's where the big dogs are investing." – Karl Bryan 12:51 "Optionality is the ultimate goal: the happiest, most peaceful people have lots of options." – Karl Bryan 40:14 Actionable Takeaways Understand & Teach the REAL Difference: Make sure both you and your clients aim to quietly accumulate wealth by holding and nurturing assets, instead of focusing on appearances or loud spending. Leverage Good Debt: Only take on debt that creates positive cashflow and avoid high-interest, no-upside consumer and student debt. Set (and Don't Move) the Goalposts: Establish clear financial targets for yourself and clients and beware of letting FOMO push you into perpetual "more chasing." Read for Leverage: Go beyond trendy business books; seek out foundational texts that give you frameworks on systems, psychology, power, and wealth that most coaches overlook. Build Systems Over Motivation: Use principles and mental models (like those from "Principles" and "Antifragile") to make wealth and happiness inevitable in your business and life. Structure for Feel, Not Just Achievement: Define how you want your business, home, and vacations to feel—then create rules and systems that support that intention. Resources Mentioned Book Recommendations: Confessions of an Economic Hitman (John Perkins) The Creature from Jekyll Island (G. Edward Griffin) Antifragile (Nassim Nicholas Taleb) What I Learned Losing a Million Dollars (Jim Paul & Brendan Moynihan) Sapiens (Yuval Noah Harari) Principles (Ray Dalio) Profit Acceleration Software (by Karl Bryan): Proven system for compounding profit growth for coaches and their clients.

Este especial revela cómo las mentes jóvenes y curiosas fomentaron la innovación y desempeñaron un papel mucho más importante en la sociedad de lo que hasta ahora se imaginaba. Un siglo después de uno de los momentos más famosos de la historia arqueológica, este documental de BBC analiza el descubrimiento de la momia de Tutankamón desde una perspectiva forense. El Dr. Xand van Tulleken nos descubre los seis tensos e históricos días que Howard Carter tardó en encontrar y retirar el vendaje de la momia de Tutankamón. El descubrimiento de la tumba del niño rey causó un gran impacto mundial, pero el proceso de revelar al faraón bajo sus vendajes no fue fácil. Fotografías originales y un acceso exclusivo al diario de Carter recrean el momento histórico: el único entierro real hallado intacto. Pero muchas preguntas quedaron sin responder. ¿Por qué su momia fue carbonizada y quemada? ¿Sus extremidades rotas fueron signos de un accidente o de un asesinato? ¿Y qué revelan las muestras de ADN halladas sobre su linaje incestuoso? Un siglo después, este documental busca desvelar la verdad sobre el faraón más famoso de Egipto.

E' dimostrato che la nostra specie si evolve ad una velocità esponenziale. Quanto riusciamo a gestire le rivoluzioni tecnologiche che stiamo vivendo? Ce ne parla Pino Aprile, autore di un saggio sul tema.

Today's podcast is a masterclass with an expert in a class of business that has exploded with growth over the past decade. M&A insurance is a broad church that holds a large number of products that are all related to inter-company transactions. Representations and Warranties, potential tax liabilities, litigation risk and other contingencies related to M&A are the subject of this incredibly innovative segment of insurance. Three decades ago Alistair Lester was in on the ground floor as the class of business developed out of the D&O market. Today this is a class that is producing $10-12bn in annual revenue and can put out very meaningful maximum limits of around $1.5bn dollars for any one deal. But it's a class that most of us won't be familiar with, or perhaps one that some of us might think we won't be suited to because we imagine it's full of people who first trained as lawyers and then got into insurance. Now Gallagher's CEO of Private Equity and M&A for Europe the Middle East and Africa, Alistair is proof that this is a class where traditional insurance brokers can thrive. This is one of the most energetic and fun conversations I have had on the show for some time. Alistair's passion and enthusiasm are contagious and through the course of this interview I learned an awful lot about this exciting class and its enormous commercial potential. We all know insurance is often a grudge purchase and always marked down as a cost, but here it can be an investment that immediately pays for itself many times over. That's incredibly rare and perhaps explains why this class has so much opportunity and is giving Cyber and renewables a run for their money for the title of highest-growth segment of the global insurance market. Time with Alistair makes it clear that despite growing tenfold over the past decade, this maturing class has a huge amount of growth left in it. So listen on. If after 45 minutes you're not as enthusiastic as Alistair or I, I'd be enormously surprised. LINKS: We thank our naming sponsor AdvantageGo, now part of Sapiens: https://www.advantagego.com

Our reality is increasingly being filtered through AI. People now defer to AI chatbots for more and more of their information needs, and google searches return AI generated overviews as their top responses. While this may have its benefits, problems are starting to arise as our interactions with AI are becoming more comprehensive, immersive, and emotionally meaningful. Researchers are begining to warn that AI might be contributing to the development of delusional beliefs and psychotic experiences. Reports of what has been called “AI-associated psychosis” have raised concerns about people becoming intensely attached to AI systems, interpreting conversations with them as uniquely meaningful, or developing beliefs that are reinforced through repeated interactions. Real world examples include people believing that AI is sending them hidden messages, that they have a special mission, that the have made new mathematical discoveries, and that AI is awakening. There have even been cases involving violence and death in the real world. So the question is: What is going on? Can we seperate the real world cases of AI psychosis from the media headlines? In this conversation I speak with Dr. Joseph Pierre, Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco, and the Unit Chief of the Langley Porter Psychiatric Hospital Adult Inpatient Unit. He has extensive clinical experience working with individuals with psychotic disorders, as well as research experience participating as a primary investigator and collaborator for clinical trials in schizophrenia and early intervention for young persons at high risk for psychosis. His academic work explores the "grey area" between psychopathology and normality with a focus on delusion-like beliefs including conspiracy theories. We discuss what AI-associated psychosis means, the evidence behind these emerging concerns, the psychology of delusional thinking, how AI systems may influence human cognition, and what we should-and should not-conclude about the risks of increasingly powerful conversational AI.   ►Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/nniFFxTU5Tw Find out more about Joe's work here: https://profiles.ucsf.edu/joseph.pierre ►Read Joe's book: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/false-9780197765272?cc=nl&lang=en& https://www.amazon.nl/False-Mistrust-Disinformation-Motivated-Reasoning/dp/0197765270 ►Follow Joe on X: @psychunseen  

It's been three years since today's guest has been on the show. In that time the business he runs has doubled in size through a combination of organic growth and targeted acquisitions. Group CEO of Miller Insurance Services, James Hands, is looking for growth at a similar pace for the next three years and this interview is an excellent 360-degree guide to how he plans to achieve his goals. A focus on specialty insurance and reinsurance, investment in people and expertise and making the most of growth synergies from the firm's acquisitions are very much the order of the day. Expansion into MGAs, and investments in technology and facilitisation are also going to be part of the mix. This is an exceptionally well-rounded interview with the leader of a business making the most of its best-of-both-worlds position as an independent with the scale and resources to be able to keep up with larger global broking groups, whilst retaining the speed and agility of a smaller business. James is relaxed and is brimming with confidence in the prospects for Miller and the global specialty broking market. A quick listen and a clear picture, as well as lots of market tips and insights, will come into view. NOTES: James refers to David Robinson.

Retro-Episode - Die unterschätzte Zukunftskompetenz: AchtsamkeitDiese Folge ist ursprünglich 2021 erschienen. Und trotzdem passt sie heute fast noch besser als damals. Denn die Frage ist geblieben: Wie arbeiten wir eigentlich in einer Welt, in der Teams verteilter, Meetings dichter, Informationen schneller und Aufmerksamkeit knapper geworden sind? Robin und Patrick sprechen in dieser Plaudertaschen-Retro-Folge mit Jan Philipp Martini. Zum Zeitpunkt der Aufnahme war Jan Philipp Unternehmensberater bei BCG mit Schwerpunkt auf New Work und agile Transformation sowie Mitbegründer der Mindfulness Community bei BCG. Heute ist Jan Philipp sehr erfolgreicher Gründer von Sapiens (https://www.be-sapiens.com). Dort geht es um Health & Performance, also darum, Stressbelastung messbar zu machen und daraus konkrete Routinen für Gesundheit, Resilienz und Leistungsfähigkeit abzuleiten. Damit bekommt die Folge aus heutiger Sicht noch einmal eine zusätzliche Relevanz. Was damals als Gespräch über Mindfulness, New Work und bessere Zusammenarbeit begann, ist heute eine sehr konkrete Frage für viele Organisationen: Wie bleiben Menschen in anspruchsvollen Arbeitsumfeldern klar, präsent und leistungsfähig?

In insurance we usually spend a lot more time talking about innovation than we end up doing it. So this podcast focuses on two of the do-ers putting innovation into practice. It's now ten years since Hiscox launched its market-first, tech-enabled, live quote and bind FloodPlus product and this Episode examines the story of that product's development and its growth into a market opportunity that was primed for expansion. To guide me through the story I am joined by James Brady, Property Divisional Director at Hiscox London Market & Tom King, the firm's Flood Line Underwriter. This is a story about overcoming obstacles, recovering from setbacks and constant iteration. Ten years on and Hiscox is the biggest flood market in Lloyd's and the opportunity to write flood from the private market is only growing. Indeed since we completed this recording the Trump Administration's Council to Assess the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which runs the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) has just issued its final report, recommending the implementation of risk-based pricing and a take-out program to incentivise the transfer of policies to the private market. With US market penetration still at only 4% the prize for the private market is as big as any other underwriting opportunity out there today. Tom and James are sparkling guests and this podcast is an inspiring celebration of innovation in action that has applications way beyond the highly specific field of US flood.

Today's podcast is one of those conversations that stretched my ability to keep up with my interviewee to the limit. Andrew Johnston is the Global Head of Insurtech at Gallagher Re and has been at the forefront of understanding and chronicling the Insurtech phenomenon since it emerged over ten years ago. Gallagher Re's quarterly reports on the topic have been required reading over the past decade for anyone wanting to understand the intersection between insurance and technology. In that period Digital disruption, Blockchain, Parametric and Embedded insurance are themes that have come to the fore. Now AI is the dominant force, so much so that Insurtech and AI are now effectively synonymous. Gallagher Re's latest quarterly Insurtech report is one of the best pieces of research into AI and insurance that I have read. It goes way beyond AI-related Insurtech investment opportunities and digs right into the profound risk implications of AI as an emerging casualty peril in its own right. Andrew is a dream guest, incredibly sharp, bright and fun to spend time with. He's that rare kind of person who makes you feel more intelligent for having spent time chatting to them. Listening back there are points in the conversation where whole new avenues of questioning were opening up that I failed to explore. But that's the mark of a strong interview. It always leaves you wanting more. It's a bit like when you wake up the morning after a big debate or argument with terrible pangs of regret that you failed to ask the killer question in the heat of the moment. The developments in AI are moving so fast that I feel certain it won't be long before I have Andrew back on the show to help put everything into context for us. But until then this is the next best thing.

What are the conditions that enable a country to become great — or great again? The Trump administration — and other right-wing movements in other countries — offers a vision of greatness based on power and domination abroad, and a mix of shared national and religious stories at home. And that vision is clearly appealing to a lot of people. Liberals in the U.S. and elsewhere have been struggling to tell a story that can compete. What story would Yuval Noah Harari tell? One of the through lines of Harari's best-selling books — “Sapiens,” “Homo Deus,” “Nexus” — is the huge role that stories play in shaping the arc of history, driving humans to cooperate on a grand scale to achieve great things, or divide violently against one another. So I wanted to ask him about the stories that the U.S. and Israel, in particular, seem to have embraced right now. What does history tell us about the power of this story? And why does the liberal story seem so weak right now?

In insurance we love to divide ourselves into different mutually-exclusive tribes. Life and non-life, property and casualty, marine and non-marine. Long and short tail Traditional balance sheet reinsurance and Insurance-Linked Securities. And not forgetting - live and legacy. But the fact is that as the global insurance ecosystem becomes more sophisticated there are really only two major differences. Different types of insurance skills and different types of insurance capital. Legacy is a case in point. It has long since outgrown its claims administration roots and developed into the provision of increasingly complex forms of capital relief for the live market that are bringing it closer and closer to live risk. Today's guest is the embodiment of that change. Will Bridger came into the legacy insurance world through investment banking, not claims handling. As Group CEO of Compre he has overseen extraordinary growth with a balance sheet that has moved from the tens of millions to the low-single-digit billions. If you think you already know legacy, you need to listen to Will. For example, Compre's current plans envisage only one third of group activity coming from what we would think of as traditional run-off. So where are the other two thirds going to come from? Ever closer relationships with live carriers that bring more predictable renewal-style income streams, underwriting sidecars and pre-packaged legacy arrangements with alternative capital providers are all part of the mix. This is a fascinating conversation with someone who has developed into an insurance person as dyed-in-the-wool and baked into the insurance ecosystem as the best of us. Will is fun to spend time with and a great communicator. Forty minutes with him and your whole perspective about the legacy market, where it is heading and the value it might be adding to the global insurance whole will change completely.

Kate Brown, Distinguished Professor in the History of Science at MIT joins Michael Stauch to discuss her new book Tiny Gardens Everywhere: The Past, Present and Future of the Self-Provisioning City (W. W. Norton, 2026) on the 300-year history of urban gardening, from feudal England to the Paris Commune, to Berlin's green shantytowns, to contemporary Amsterdam, Chicago, and beyond. Equal parts history, memoir, and manifesto, Brown's book weaves in her own gardening experience while exploring the political and practical, painting a picture of the necessity of self-provisioning in an increasingly chaotic world. Highlights include: How “tiny gardens” grew as a social practice among English peasants following the enclosure of the commons; The politics of “tiny gardens,” including the difference between a “gardening” state and a gardeners state; How Black “tiny gardeners” in DC's East of the River neighborhood transformed structural racism into vegetable-powered wealth; A short-but-scathing review of Yuvel Harari's Sapiens; How small changes to local ordinances in cities might allow us to reimagine a world of abundance amid contemporary fears of scarcity and instability. Guest: Kate Brown is Distinguished Professor in the History of Science at MIT and author of four previous prize-winning books, including A Manual for Survival: A Chernobyl Guide to the Future, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle award.

Today's guest is running a global reinsurer with bold ambitions to double in size over the next five years. Nick Hankin is Managing Director of QBE Re. Now into his fourth decade in insurance and reinsurance, Nick has market experience in abundance, so when, despite the recent relatively rapid softening in the reinsurance market at the most recent renewals, he says he still sees plenty of opportunity for profitable growth, we should sit up and take notice. This is a podcast full of purpose and positivity. Nick has a clear plan that he wants to execute and makes a convincing case that his ambitions are eminently achievable. On the way we cover all the major issues of the day including the insurance and reinsurance opportunities arising from the data centre boom, the best use-cases for AI as well as the emergence of AI as a new casualty peril in its own right. Nick is good company and a great communicator with a clear vision. The next half an hour will fly by. LINKS: We thank our naming sponsor AdvantageGo, now part of Sapiens: https://www.advantagego.com

Il futuro non è un'attesa, è un atto di volontà.

The singer-songwriter Valerie June has a gift for writing contemporary songs that feel timeless and as though they could also have existed at various points across the past century. Her expansive layering of Appalachian folk, Delta blues, gospel, soul, early country, and even spiritual jazz, at once down to earth and dreamy, has drawn appreciation from the likes of Bob Dylan, Norah Jones, and Mavis Staples, and for good reason. In true folk tradition, the Grammy-nominated June views her work in one long, multigenerational continuum of American songwriting and storytelling, both ancient and urgent. Not one to chase hits or rush her process, she revels, instead, in a slow, patient devotion to her craft, as her latest album, Owls, Omens, and Oracles, puts on full display. On this episode of Time Sensitive, June discusses songs as vessels capable of preserving and transporting us to once-in-a-lifetime moments, music-making as a mystical act, and the value of prioritizing gradual progress over instant results.  Special thanks to our Season 13 presenting partner, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.

I first met today's guest just under 34 years ago on my first day at work in the London Market. Back then Alfonso Valera and I worked in the London-based Lloyd's subsidiary of the biggest broker in Spain. Alfonso was my senior and had already been in post for a year and patiently helped show me the ropes. He spoke perfect English, was a confident, skilful and forceful negotiator who was incredibly passionate about the insurance business and was always fun, direct and easy to deal with. He was mature beyond his years and was a natural leader. It seemed obvious to anyone who knew him back then that he was destined for great things. That broking business was taken over by Aon in the late nineties. Alfonso stayed on and over 25 years later he is now CEO of International at Aon Reinsurance Solutions. International covers the whole of the Rest of the World other than the Americas, and Aon is the largest reinsurance broker by revenues, so however you measure it Alfonso has one of the biggest jobs in global reinsurance. His job titles and seniority might have changed since we first met, but I can guarantee that he is exactly the same person I knew when I was fresh out of University.   He is still disarmingly direct and straightforward and he is still passionate about the business, but now he is speaking from a vantage point that few in the global insurance market can reach. Alfonso is still great fun to talk to and this conversation took on a life of its own. Whether it's the state of the market and changes in buyer and seller appetites, facilitisation in reinsurance, the prospects for M&A, the MGA phenomenon, enhanced competition between reinsurance intermediaries or the changes that AI is likely to bring, Alfonso gives me a straight answer every time and we barely pause for breath. Catching up with Alfonso was a joy from start to finish. Listen on and you'll be bound to agree. LINKS: We thank our naming sponsor AdvantageGo, now part of Sapiens: https://www.advantagego.com

Patrick Tiernan has come into the CEO role at Lloyd's with the market brimming with confidence after a third successive year of strong profitability. Now that competitive forces are reasserting themselves with renewed vigour, the question is what next? From this meeting the future at Lloyd's is one full of increased velocity and innovation in all things. New leadership, new forms of underwriting, new targets and ambition, new risks, new ways to transact business, new skills and attitudes from the people who work in the market and new capital structures to bear the financial load. Recorded live in the centre of the Underwriting room by the Rostrum on a busy working day this is an energetic encounter from start to finish. If you want to get a clear feel for the charismatic new Lloyd's CEO's strategy and modus operandi, this will get you up to speed in no time. Patrick is easy to talk to and is disarmingly frank. From my experiences of doorstepping him whenever I have had the chance over the past five years, I can promise you that we would have had the same conversation whether or not the microphones had been turned on. What you see is what you get. So listen on for an audio roadmap for the market of the next five years and beyond.

The Slanted Attic Experience: Episode 60 "Abby & Caitria" Blueprints, Banter & Bringing Back Your ChildhoodTyler sits down with two Richmond based architects and things get out of hand in the best way possible. Abby and Caitria bring sharp perspectives, genuinely great stories, and the kind of conversational chemistry that makes an episode impossible to stop listening to.They open with construction costs before somehow landing on meat processing, an octopus learning to play the piano, and the critical question of how many third graders you could realistically take in a fight. The Antonio Brown story gets its moment, the Joe Rogan platforming debate sparks real discussion, podcast recommendations are handed out freely, and Flophouse Comedy Club makes a well deserved appearance before public restroom horror stories take over completely.From there it is a full dive into childhood. Middle school memories, Caitria's rowing journey and the Bay Bridge swim, exercise induced anaphylaxis, Walktober at the office, tribalism and Sapiens, the pre versus post internet divide, teachers buying their own classroom supplies, Polly Pockets, Barbies, public speaking fears, and what American culture looks like when you never leave your hometown. The recording ends before the outro gets a chance to happen, which honestly tracks.Guest Panel:Abby: A 27 year old North Carolina native and proud UVA architecture grad who has called Richmond home for five years. When she is not walking her dog through the Fan or tending her vegetable garden, she is deeply invested in historic preservation, sustainable design, and the architectural character that makes Richmond worth caring about.Caitria: An Arlington native and fellow UVA architecture grad who spent two years in New York before landing in Richmond. When she is not designing buildings she is rollerblading, drawing, catching a comedy show, hanging at the river, or playing pickleball. Refreshingly honest and genuinely funny, Caitria brings an energy to the conversation that is hard to manufacture.Topics Covered:Intro The real costs in construction Meat and animal processing and food in general An octopus learning to play the piano How many third graders could you take in a fight? The Story of Antonio Brown The Joe Rogan Experience and the platforming debate Podcast recommendations: Exploration Live, Brooke and Connor, Caleb Hearon's So True Flophouse Comedy Club Public restroom horror stories and public infrastructure The hypothetical of going back to elementary school Middle school stories Caitria's rowing journey and the Bay Bridge swim Exercise induced anaphylaxis Walktober at the office Tribalism and hunter gatherer instincts from Sapiens Pre versus post internet and instant information Teachers purchasing their own supplies Kids being oblivious: the stories Polly Pockets and Barbies Continuing the childhood theme and memorable events Public speaking American culture and living in the same town your entire life No outro this timeNew episodes of The Slanted Attic Experience drop bi-weekly at 10:30 AM EST, with the occasional surprise episode along the way.

The great cliché about our sector is that while business trends come and go – it's the people who remain the constant. Today's guest is someone whose business follows this philosophy to the letter. Dan Topping is the CEO of London-focused, publicly-listed private equity firm B.P. Marsh with just under 20 years in the business. The firm he leads is a household name in the London Market with a 30-year often idiosyncratic pedigree backing entrepreneurs in the intermediary segment. Countless brokers and MGAs, including Howden and Nexus have benefitted from the investment and counsel from this singular institution. Given the highly-focused nature of what B.P. Marsh does, Dan and his colleagues will have seen almost every early-stage investment opportunity in the London market of the last 20 years. That gives a kaleidoscopic perspective and that knowledge and understanding seeps through every pore of Dan's being. The prime job of a podcast like this is to help tease out specialist knowledge accumulated in the market and share it with you the listener. I have known Dan for almost all of his time at the firm and that made this interview really relaxed and much more revealing than most. If there ever were any trade secrets about what has driven the compound growth of this impressive highly-focused business, they won't be secrets after this podcast. If you want to know what makes entrepreneurialism in the specialty insurance sector tick, this is the place to come. Together we'll examine some of the surprising trends Dan is seeing in what many would view as an ultra-consolidated intermediary segment. Dan is as eloquent and relaxed as he is knowledgeable and the time will fly by. And perhaps you too will be inspired and emboldened to dare strike out on your own entrepreneurial journey. Clichés come about because by and large they are expressing an underlying universal truth. A quick listen and I think you'll agree that Dan is living proof that it really is the people that make the market what it is.

The growth of the portfolio solutions segment of the market has been one of the most exciting and interesting developments in global insurance in the past five years. The streamlining of placements in syndicated insurance markets is producing scale, speed efficiency and cost benefits for underwriters, brokers and their clients alike. And this is a phenomenon that is really only just getting into its stride. Billions of dollars of premium are now being transacted this way as brokers look to facilitise significant percentages of their placements while consortia and other underwriting pooling arrangements proliferate. As Director of QBE Portfolio Solutions, Tessa Wardle runs one of the lead markets for this pioneering form of delegated authority underwriting and collectively her small team underwrite on a scale that in premium terms is many multiples of that achieved by conventional market underwriters. In this podcast we look at where this phenomenon is likely to be heading, as well as delving into the core mechanics of just how business of such a high volume is transacted in practice. What are the core skills of a portfolio solutions underwriter and how do they differ from conventional underwriting practice? And what are the principle levers and controls that senior executives like Tessa have at their disposal to keep these huge contracts on track? It's a fascinating world that is in many ways revolutionary, but in many others reassuringly familiar. Tessa is an excellent guest and one of the best qualified people to guide us through this huge change in global insurance business flows and give us an idea of where the trend will be heading as it matures.

Todays' podcast with Scott Egan is a tour de force. I think there are various reasons for that. The first is that whereas when we first spoke in 2023, Scott was relatively new in the CEO role at SiriusPoint and his strategy hadn't had time to bed in and take full effect, now we were speaking after a year when the business had posted another set of consistently strong results and any talk of a turnaround was clearly a question belonging to the past. Secondly this was now the third time that Scott has been on the podcast and his confidence and comfort in doing this kind of thing has grown, but third and most importantly - this is a podcast that is completely forward-looking and optimistic in tone. Because SiriusPoint has rebuilt credibility and has demonstrated an ability to grow profitably it now has more strategic options at its disposal than it did three years ago. What makes this such an engaging interview is the chance it provides to examine those strategic choices, particularly now that the market environment is becoming more challenging and competitive. Listening back it is Scott's confidence and clarity of purpose that shine through in this encounter and that's why I can highly recommend a listen for anyone looking for a route map though this transitioning market.

Episode DescriptionIn this From the Archive conversation, James talks with Yuval Noah Harari about the idea underneath Sapiens and Homo Deus: humans did not come to dominate the planet because they were the strongest animals, but because they learned to cooperate at scale through shared stories—religion, money, nations, and eventually data. The discussion moves from early human history to agriculture, war, terrorism, AI, and bioengineering, but the throughline stays the same: civilization runs on belief systems, and those belief systems shape what humans build next.What makes the episode useful is that Harari is not just offering sweeping history. He keeps tying big ideas back to practical questions: why modern war has changed, why terrorism works by hijacking imagination, how technology may widen inequality, and why meditation might be one of the few ways to separate reality from the stories people live inside.What You'll LearnWhy Harari argues that the real human superpower is the ability to believe in shared fictions—and how that enabled large-scale cooperation.Why the agricultural revolution may have strengthened humanity collectively while making everyday life harder for individuals.Why modern war has declined in some forms as economies shift from material assets to knowledge-based wealth. Source transcript:How terrorism operates by capturing attention and imagination more than by raw military strength.Why Harari thinks the next major divide may be biological inequality, where the rich can upgrade themselves in ways the poor cannot.
