Today's guest is an insurance professional who has just completed forty years in the market. Over that time he has built a reputation as the consummate underwriter's underwriter. But by some strange coincidence our paths hadn't crossed – until now. We can complain about Monte Carlo all we want but it never fails to throw up wonderful opportunities to meet the most senior and prestigious figures in the global insurance and reinsurance industry. So it was that I finally met Jack Kuhn, President of Westfield Specialty at a meeting table in a conference hall in the bowels of the Fairmont Hotel. At Monte Carlo everyone is in talking mode and so what follows is the classic fast-paced kind of conversation you have ten times a day when down at the Rendez-Vous. But listening back in the cold light of day, it's Jack's underwriting leadership qualities that really stand out – even in such a frenetic environment. He is calm and focused and has a clear idea of what he wants to achieve. Like all the best underwriters, he is never dismissive of new ideas, but weighs them carefully and leaves you in no doubt where he stands. Westfield Specialty is in an enviable position, now writing around $2.4bn of gross premium, as part of a mutual group with a 178-year pedigree, it can evaluate and navigate the market on its merits, without pressure to grow. And that's where this conversation shines. It's liberating to talk to an underwriter with such a long and successful career, being given the chance to design an underwriting shop that is applying the full benefit of all that experience. Jack is clearly in his element and really enjoying this latest chapter in his career, and this conversation encompasses all the big themes: The challenges of a highly competitive insurance and reinsurance market, emerging automatic digital underwriting and AI as an emerging casualty peril, all have a strong showing, among many other themes. It's always great to finally meet someone you have heard a lot about, but it can sometimes be a little anticlimactic. I am pleased to report that this meeting exceeded all expectations and my only regret is not having met Jack twenty years earlier.

Today's podcast is a really strong conversation with someone in a significant strategic position within the global Facultative reinsurance, Wholesale and Specialty market. That's because across 26 business lines, with platforms in the US, London and Singapore they run a business that is closing in on $4bn in Gross written premium in 2026. Jason Keen is the CEO of Global Wholesale and Specialty at Everest Insurance and given his broad viewpoint of the market this discussion gives a very accurate picture of where we find ourselves at this interesting point in the pricing cycle. What emerges is a market where the most skilful underwriters are going to be able to differentiate themselves and one where caution and a focus on margin is the order of the day in some segments, but in others there are still clear opportunities for growth. But it's after the day-to-day market questions have been dealt with that this discussion comes into its own. Jason is an advocate of the digital revolution that is transforming the globally syndicated insurance market in which his business operates and our discussion around facilitisation, fast follow and other digitally-enhanced forms of underwriting is insightful and enlightening. It is becoming clear that all business leaders now need a comprehensive strategy on how to engage with profound structural changes in the way business is being placed and Jason is eloquent and unambiguous on this theme. Our broad and frank discussion also covers other emerging big themes such as nascent AI exposures - and plenty more besides. Jason is an underwriter through and through and this makes for a fast-moving and lively exchange. I can highly recommend a listen LINKS: We thank our naming sponsor AdvantageGo, now part of Sapiens: https://www.advantagego.com

What determines who you become: your genes, your environment, or something else entirely?   I originally the answer lay in our environment and DNA, full stop. But it turns out there's a third ingredient. Our DNA doesn't hold enough information to specify all of the the various connections in our brain. In a certain sense the DNA specifies a charicature, and the process of development itself fills in the details. This process starts at conception, such that even two people growing with identical DNA and environment will nevertheless end up with different personality traits, intelligence, etc.   In this conversation I speak with Neurogeneticist Kevin Mitchel (Trinity College Dublin, author of Free Agents and Innate) about how our brains develop. He spells out the implications of the developmental process of the brain for our personalities, medical conditions, and intelligence, consciousness, and free will.   Correction: At 1:57:02, the claim about XYY syndrome and violence was misleading. Some studies have found a modest association with lower average IQ, but the evidence does not support XYY making someone inherently more violent. ►Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EohgJnp6bNQ&list=PLnE3V9mcAvmbGgs15Z0LkfHv0_1Hm5i9Z&index=1  ►Find out more about Kevin's work: www.kjmitchell.com ►Check out Kevin's books: https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691173887/innate  https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691226231/free-agents

“How good is your AI model? That's the wrong question. The right question is: what does your AI model actually help your company do?”Seungik Cho, founder of Sapiens Health, has spent the past year pulling apart the assumption in biomanufacturing that a better-predicting AI model means a better digital twin. His research argues the opposite: that optimizing AI for prediction accuracy can cause these systems to fail in CDMO environments.Seungik Cho is the founder of Sapiens Health and Director of Strategic Operations at Nucleate. He's finishing his B.S. in Biological Physics at Rice University, where his research explores the intersection between computational biology and multimodal AI. He describes his work as building AI systems that are “trustworthy and deployable,” not just accurate on a benchmark. His recent publications include work on longitudinal CT lesion prediction (IEEE ISBI 2026) and gene network analysis (IEEE BHI 2025).In the latest PharmaSource podcast episode, Seungik explains why he believes CDMOs are pointing their AI investment in the wrong direction and lays out an alternative model built around diagnosis rather than prediction, explainability rather than confidence scores, and institutional memory rather than one-off forecasts.Read the full article.

There's a lot of received wisdom in our industry. You know, the sorts of things that we tell each other often enough that we all begin to accept them as true without really questioning the assumptions behind them with rigour. Here are three common ones: you have to have meaningful scale if you want to get involved in Reinsurance, or open up operations in the London Market or the US. This podcast is with the leader of a business that is a repudiation of most of the canons contained in the book of received insurance wisdom. He leads a business that has grown to write around $700mn in gross premiums across a broad base, diversified by line and geography in both insurance and reinsurance, while maintaining very healthy profitability throughout the cycle. Waleed Jabsheh is the CEO of IGI and this podcast highlights the very singular path that IGI has trodden on its way to success. What emerges in this detailed discussion is in many ways a picture of a bold and ambitious company with representation in all the major global insurance jurisdictions. But it is also a company that is at its core relatively conservative, looking to play in areas it knows and understands well and leaving the unknown territories of the bleeding edge for others to explore and map out before it takes a view. IGI is still very much a family firm, but it is also one that is publicly-traded and listed in the US. Any apparent contradiction in the above is explained by Waleed in this broad and deep interview, in which we are treated to a very strong common sense analysis of the opportunities and threats facing the global insurance and reinsurance market of today. Waleed is very calm, clear and unambiguous in his style and makes for an excellent interviewee LINKS: We thank our naming sponsor AdvantageGo, now part of Sapiens: https://www.advantagego.com

We can't put a real black hole in a laboratory, but we can recreate some of its most important physics. In this interview I speak with Bill Unruh, one of the pioneers of analog gravity. The idea is fascinating: Usually we model gravity using equations and computer simulations, but there is another way. Rather than a gravitational black hole that can trap light from escaping, you can instead build a black hole using the flow in a fluid to trap sound from escaping. Such models really do mimic many of the properties predicted by the equations that describe black holes. Unruh explains how a waterfall can act as a sonic black hole, creating an analogue of a black hole event horizon where sound waves can become trapped. In the lab, such analog systems have been built using water, but also Bose–Einstein condensates. One hope is to show that analog black holes sponateously emit sound quanta in exactly the same way that Hawking radiation is proposed to be emitted from Black holes. In particular, a key goal is to show that such radiation is `thermal', which would mean that it carries the least amount of information possible just as predicted by Hswking for black holes. One of the key reasons for being interested in analog gravity, is that it can provide intuition about horizons and other aspects of gravitational systems that we can't explore in the lab. In this interview I ask Bill what intuition he has gained for one of the key paradoxes in gravitational physics that researchers are currently arguing over: The Black Hole Information Paradox. In particular, what happens to the information contained in matter that falls into a black hole? Can Hawking radiation carry that information back out? We also discuss what actually happens inside a black hole. Does the singularity represent a genuine physical feature, or does it signal that our current theory of gravity has reached its limits? ►Watch on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzNAGllVWjo&list=PLnE3V9mcAvmYosrFCguPfGnFeI_CChb1j&index=1  ►Find out more about Bill's work: https://quantumgravitysociety.org/science_advisors/william-unruh/ https://news.ubc.ca/expert/william-unruh/   #BlackHoles #HawkingRadiation #QuantumGravity #AnalogGravity #Physics #QuantumMechanics #GeneralRelativity #StephenHawking #BlackHoleInformationParadox #TheoreticalPhysics #cosmology   This publication is based upon work from COST Action RQI CA23115, supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology).

[Literatura Brasileira] Resenha do livro "Os imortais", de Paulliny Tort. O texto escrito está nesse link. Esse foi um dos lançamentos mais comentados da Feira do Livro de Parati (FLIP) de 2026. Eu não fui, mas acompanhei tudo pelas redes sociais e não pude deixar de comprar esse livro, já que fui passar duas semanas no Brasil e podia trazer na mala.Agora imagine que um grupo de Neandertais está faminto, sujo, cansado de procurar água limpa e comida, encontra uma caverna muito boa, inclusive decorada com desenhos de cavalos. O problema é que a caverna está ocupada por uma tribo de Sapiens.Toda a história se desenrola do ponto de vista de um casal de líderes Neandertais e uma menina Sapiens. Tem muita aventura, emoções fortes e dúvidas existenciais, tudo narrado de um jeito irresistível.Não dá para deixar de elogiar também a pesquisa muito bem feita; as dinâmicas de organização dos grupos está bem coerente com os livros que li a respeito, especialmente Humankind (meu favorito da vida!).Se você quiser comprar o seu exemplar de “Os imortais”(recomento fortemente), por favor use esse link da Amazon do Brasil.

Today's podcast is with someone who has one of the biggest and most important and influential jobs in our industry, yet you wouldn't necessarily know that if you spoke to him. As the CEO of Hannover Re Clemens Jungsthöfel may be carrying a very large reinsurance stick, but he speaks very softly. He is approachable and someone who inspires trust. You get the feeling you could tell him anything, or come to him with a very delicate problem and he would neither be shocked nor would judge you too harshly, but just calmly help in any way he could and point you in the right direction. Clemens personifies a very clear continuum from the reinsurance leaders who came before him and a listen to a discussion with him goes a long way to understand the enduring success of the reinsurer he and his predecessors have managed to build. And what they have constructed is an all-permeating reinsurance culture that works for the real world. As we head down to Monte Carlo this podcast covers everything you would expect it to. We examine the state of market, and Hannover Re's positioning within it, in great depth and we debate some of the hottest topics of the day, most pressingly the emergence of AI into the global risk environment. But what I think will endure after time erodes the relevance of what we are discussing is a timeless sense of who my interviewee is and the institution he represents. Approachable and friendly, calm, strong, knowledgeable, consistent, measured, flexible, responsive and pragmatic are all words that come to mind. And I think we can all agree these are absolutely the qualities we are all looking for when we are buying reinsurance.

Our understanding of gravity and black holes is currently in a funny spot that looks a little similar to how physics in general looked before quantum mechanics. Before quantum mechanics, scientists were puzzled by the stability of atoms. Shouldn't the negatively charged electrons simply fall into the positively charged nucleus? Also, the electrostatic force between charges was known to increase the closer two charged objects were to one another, and by naive extrapolation, this force should become infinite as the distance between objects goes to zero. This is known as a `singularity' in the theory. Singularities are usually a sign that our theory is being extrapolated beyond where it is applicable.   Quantum mechanics held the solution to the puzzle: electrons don't spiral around the nucleus; they sit in quantum orbits that can only take on certain discrete levels.   In our current understanding of gravity, there are objects predicted by the theory known as black holes. But just like with `classical' atoms, these objects are pretty weird. They have singularities right at the center, and just like the electrons orbiting an atomic nucleus, the classical theory of gravity says that matter should spiral into a black hole to meet the singularity. On the way, they cross an event horizon from which they can never return, and which shields anyone from looking into the black hole.   The singularity is an indication that our classical theory of gravity is somehow breaking down. But where? If we try to merge quantum mechanics with black holes, a clue arises: `Hawking' radiation is predicted by the merger to emanate from the black hole horizon, and this radiation leads to the evaporation of black holes, and the loss of all the information of anything that fell in.   But this behavior appears to break quantum mechanics because in quantum theory, information cannot be destroyed. It can be scrambled, transformed, hidden, but never fundamentally erased.   This is the black hole information paradox: the merger of our best gravitational theory and quantum theory seems to lead to information loss, which is incompatible with quantum theory.   In this episode of the podcast, I speak with theorist Niayesh Afshordi. He suggests that the black hole information paradox arises because we are extrapolating our equations beyond where they make sense. His suggestion is a little unorthodox: black holes have no center. The horizon must be replaced with a surface, beyond which there is nothing. I speak with him to try to understand his suggestion.   ►Watch on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68qwzsjmoxU&list=PLnE3V9mcAvmYosrFCguPfGnFeI_CChb1j&index=1  ►Find out more about Niayesh's work: https://nafshordi.com/ ►Follow Niayesh on Twitter: @nafshordi  #BlackHoles, #QuantumMechanics, #QuantumPhysics, #HawkingRadiation, #BlackHoleInformationParadox, #Gravity, #TheoreticalPhysics, #Physics #NiayeshAfshordi, #GeneralRelativity This publication is based upon work from COST Action RQI CA23115, supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology).

Over the past couple of years we've been talking a lot about the potential applications of AI in insurance and where in the value chain it is going to make the best impact. But what we haven't done is follow the logic further and start to look into the medium term consequences for the industry. This is why what follows is so interesting. My conversation with George Beattie (pictured, Left), Head of Innovation and Chris Mullan (pictured, Right) Head of Data and AI at CFC starts off as an examination of the innovative MGA's application of agentic AI into its underwriting process. That in itself is interesting enough. For example the 70-80 times speed gains for delivering bindable quotes are eye-opening, but it's what follows that makes this podcast special. George and Chris have done a lot of thinking about what the application of AI can really mean for the sector. They've done the intellectual homework and some of their conclusions will surprise you. For example they don't feel that AI exclusions are going to be workable and are only likely to lead to an embarrassing future climbdown for the industry. But it's their views on how the age of AI gives us a chance to completely re-design the insurance product from the ground up that are perhaps more insightful and offer a cautionary tale for incumbents. Those who simply think AI will make the existing business process quicker and more efficient will almost certainly be right in the short-term, but they might be outmanoeuvred in the longer term as whole new business models emerge and leave them in their wake. When smart and articulate experienced insurance people really grapple with tech, it helps the rest of us understand much better. George and Chris are great communicators who can translate tech jargon into practical insurance ideas. What's even better is that they are both very grounded and are really good at deflating the tech hubris that puts so many of us insurance folk off. In short, this one is a must-listen and alongside the recent fascinating Episode with Clyde Bernstein of Aon, ranks as one of the most insightful discussions I have had on the intersection of insurance technology and innovation for a very long time.

The black hole information paradox sits at the intersection of quantum mechanics and general relativity, two of our most successful theories of nature. According to classical general relativity, anything that crosses the event horizon of a black hole is lost to the outside universe forever. Black holes are almost featureless. It doesnt matter if you build one from tea pots, or elephants, the information of what fell in is hidden forever. But quantum mechanics tells a different story. In quantum theory, information cannot be destroyed. It can be scrambled, transformed, hidden, but never fundamentally erased. So what happens when these two ideas collide in the most extreme environment in the universe? If a black hole forms from a star and later evaporates through Hawking radiation, what happens to the information about everything that fell in? Does it come back encoded in the radiation? Does it remain trapped forever? Or does physics itself break down at the boundary? To make this concrete, imagine throwing a book into a black hole. If the black hole eventually evaporates completely, the total mass returns to the universe as radiation, but what happens to the detailed information inside that book? The words, the structure, the arrangement of matter that defined it? Depending on how you answer that question, you either preserve one of the deepest principles in quantum theory, or you are forced to accept that something fundamental about our understanding of reality is incomplete. In this conversation, I speak with theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli, one of the leading voices in quantum gravity, to explore the black hole information paradox. He outlines what the paradox is, explains where he belives many physicists get themselves confused, and puts forward his own solution to the paradox. ►Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjsof8VfOM0&list=PLnE3V9mcAvmYosrFCguPfGnFeI_CChb1j&index=2https://youtu.be/vjsof8VfOM0   ►You can find out more about Carlo's work here: https://www.cpt.univ-mrs.fr/~rovelli/   ►Follow Carlo on Twitter: @carlorovelli   This publication is based upon work from COST Action RQI CA23115, supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology).

What makes a bioweapon effective? What are researchers actually capable of creating in the lab? What pathogens are kept in storage? How realistic is a large scale catestrophic attack using a bioweapon? In this conversation I speak with Kevin Esvelt, who is an associate professor at the MIT Media Lab, where he leads the Sculpting Evolution Group in advancing biotechnology safely. Kevin was one of the pioneering researchers behind gene drive technology. In 2013, recognizing the potential dangers of the technology, he and his colleagues chose to break with scientific tradition by revealing their findings and calling for open discussion and safeguards before building the first CRISPR-based gene drive system and demonstrating reversibility in the laboratory. Kevin now focuses on accelerating beneficial advances while safeguarding biotechnology against mistrust and misuse. Projects include building catalytic platforms for directed evolution, pioneering new ways of developing ecotechnologies with the guidance of local communities, developing early-warning systems to reliably detect any catastrophic biological threat, applying cryptographic methods to enable secure and universal DNA synthesis screening, and advising policymakers on how best to mitigate global catastrophic biorisks. We discuss the state of the art in pathogen development, as well as the tools available to safegaurd humanity. ►Watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/SLj8vwliQp0  ►You can find out more about Kevin's work here: https://www.sculptingevolution.org/kevin-m-esvelt ►Follow Kevin on X: @kesvelt

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.

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.

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.

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. NOTES: Dan was too polite to correct my initial mispronunciation of Pelagos. The stress is on the first syllable, not the second.

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.

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.

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

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.

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?
