In this episode of "Scouting for Growth," Sabine VanderLinden welcomes Florian Graillot, founding partner at Astorya VC, for an in-depth conversation about the evolving landscape of risk management and insurance innovation. The discussion explores how risk management is shifting from static predictions to adaptive strategies designed for tomorrow's uncertainties, emphasizing the rise of the “frontier firm”—organizations that continuously learn, adapt, and act in real time.   Florian Graillot shares insights from his experience investing across insurtech, cyber, climate risk, and financial fraud, highlighting the increasing importance of technology, data, and AI.    Together, Sabine VanderLinden and Florian Graillot discuss the structural advantages Europe may hold in building AI-native, trust-driven business models and the critical role of agent-human collaboration in future risk management. They address the challenges faced by incumbents—including talent acquisition, cost efficiency, and profitable growth—and consider what distinguishes great founders in the frontier firm era.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   This episode underlines that risk management is no longer about controlling yesterday's uncertainties but engineering resilience for tomorrow. I was struck by Florian Graillot's argument that insurance leaders must rethink the entire risk value chain—not just the insurance segment—but encompassing prevention, risk assessment, capital efficiency, and claims. Simply layering AI onto legacy workflows isn't enough; true transformation requires intention, an openness to external partnerships, and a clear ROI focus.   It's clear to me that embracing AI isn't “optional practice"—it's existential. Organizations that experiment vigorously and collaborate with tech-first ventures gain a competitive edge, especially as emerging risks outpace traditional data models. Europe's more measured regulatory approach, sometimes critiqued as cautious, actually presents an opportunity to build trust-by-design, ensuring AI is explainable and aligned with both ethics and end-customer value.   Ultimately, the essence of any successful frontier firm lies in clarity of vision, a readiness for real change, and a focus on trust between leaders, employees, and customers. As the industry shifts, those who can articulate and measure technology's value, while empowering agent-human teams, will undoubtedly shape the risk landscape of the future.   BEST MOMENTS   "Risk management is no longer about predicting yesterday's risk. It is about designing for tomorrow's uncertainty."    "Either you consider emerging risks as a threat and retreat from the market, or you leverage technology to build resilience. That resilience is the optimistic side of the challenge."    "The perfect founding team is a blend of technology expertise and deep industry knowledge—you need both to create real value in insurance."    "If you expect big figures tomorrow morning, it will not work... But if you are ready to take more time and invest accordingly, innovation can deliver real and very nice results."    "In the end, technology doesn't remove risk. It actually reveals our choices."    ABOUT THE GUEST   Florian Graillot is the co-founder and founding partner at Astorya VC, one of Europe's most influential venture capital firms focused on early-stage insurtech, risk, and regulatory technology.    With 15 years of tech investing experience—ten of them specializing in insurtech—Florian Graillot has an unparalleled vantage point on the evolution of the insurance and risk landscape. He is passionate about backing founders who are redefining resilience, tackling climate, cyber, and financial fraud with cutting-edge data and algorithms, and reshaping how risk is owned and governed across enterprises.   ABOUT THE HOST   Sabine VanderLinden is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur and the CEO of Alchemy Crew Ventures. She leads venture-client labs that help Fortune 500 companies adopt and scale cutting-edge technologies from global tech ventures. A builder of accelerators, investor, and co-editor of the bestseller The INSURTECH Book, Sabine is known for asking the uncomfortable questions—about AI governance, risk, and trust.

They discuss scheduling March and April dinner events and a possible Easter-week scouting trip to California. One recounts riding San Diego's Coast-to-Crest Trail, destroying a tubeless tire from suspected trail debris, and outfitting a Trek Tributary e-bike with chunkier tires; they troubleshoot a nonworking Bosch display likely due to a coin battery. Conversation shifts to rumors of higher-power DJI motors, demand for longer-range and modular-battery e-bikes, and concerns about e-bike regulations. They also cover 32-inch wheel speculation (including a rumored titanium Salsa Fargo rework), Sea Otter/Taipei/Tour Divide expectations, a new Kona drop-bar MTB, Revel rehiring Chris Riel, import trends, and brief Valley of Tears results discussion.00:00 Are We Recording01:03 Back at Dusty Roads01:54 Home Projects Overload02:45 Curing Room Dream04:54 Paula and Bikes07:34 April Dates and Travel09:19 Coast to Crest Flat12:13 New Tires and Display15:54 California Van Plan18:18 DJI Motor Rumors22:53 Swappable Battery Wish26:10 Fargo Goes 3232:15 Surly Builds and KM37:17 Revel Brings Back Chris38:36 Revel Ride Plans39:00 Ebike Imports Surge39:56 Made in USA Debate42:02 Kona Drop Bar MTB44:21 N Plus One Wishlist46:30 Next Gen Ebike Tech48:42 Ebikes Rules Enforcement52:23 Trail Impact Reality54:49 Forum Culture Echoes57:22 Who Buys Ebikes01:06:05 Valley of Tears Check01:12:54 Gear Dates Rumors01:14:23 Trinity Trio Plans01:17:22 Wrap Up and Share

Hr 3 - Speed scouting: 2026 edge rushers compared to NFL vetsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to your weekly UAS News Update. We have five stories for you this week. First, Oregon exposes the real cost of the DJI ban. Second, the FAA reveals DJI makes up 96% of US drones. Third, the Commerce Department updates drone export rules. Fourth, Indiana prosecutes illegal drone deer scouting. And finally, a drone assists in a 900-foot tower rescue. Let's get to it.First up, the Oregon Department of Aviation has released a white paper exposing the real-world cost of the federal DJI ban. They surveyed 25 state transportation departments, and the numbers are staggering. Across those states, at least 467 drones are currently grounded or restricted. The total national exposure is estimated to be anywhere from $50 million to $2 billion! Wisconsin reported that 100% of its fleet is grounded. Colorado lost 90% of its capacity, and Oregon itself has exactly ONE compliant drone still operational out of 22. The white paper is recommending a waiver until September 2027 to give our drone industry time to catch up.New FAA-funded research puts a hard number on DJI's market dominance. The ASSURE A83 2025 Annual Report analyzed Remote ID telemetry data from 64 monitoring locations. DJI platforms make up more than 96% of detected drones in US airspace. Skydio accounted for just over 1%, and all other manufacturers combined made up less than 2.4%. Looking at the specific models, the DJI Mini 4 Pro alone accounts for 19% of all detected platforms. The Air 3 sits at 13%, and the Mavic 3 Pro holds 8%. More than 93.7% of the top 22 detected platforms weigh 3 pounds or less. Heavy-lift models like the Matrice 400, Agras T50, and FlyCart 30 remain a tiny fraction of overall flights. The US Commerce Department is streamlining drone export controls. The Bureau of Industry and Security published an interim final rule that makes two big changes. It removes the license requirement for commercial drones with a maximum endurance under one hour when exported to allied nations. Second, it opens a faster pathway for certain longer-range systems, like heavy-lift 25-liter agricultural sprayers and cargo delivery drones. Previously, these drones were caught up in the Missile Technology Control Regime, which was designed to restrict systems capable of carrying a 500-kilogram payload at least 300 kilometers. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources is bringing its first-ever prosecution for illegal drone deer scouting. Under Indiana law, you can legally use a drone to recover an animal that has already been harvested, but using it to scout or locate game during the season or 14 days prior is strictly illegal. Conservation officers seized a drone and pulled the forensic data. The GPS logs, timestamps, flight paths, and other data reportedly showed hundreds of images systematically tracking a specific trophy buck to a baited area. The suspects are allegedly facing charges for drone scouting.In Texas, two people were trapped in a hot air balloon basket that collided and became snagged on a communications tower 925 feet in the air. Longview Fire and first responders had to execute a highly complex high-angle rescue, assisted by drone. The passengers were safely rescued after a four-hour operation, but the crew still had to remove the tangled balloon using a cage and cable system.

In this episode of Scouting for Growth, Sabine VanderLinden welcomes industry veteran Karl Grandl, now of Miss Moneypenny Technologies, for a wide-ranging conversation on the real transformation underway in financial services and insurance.  Sabine VanderLinden sets the stage by emphasizing that digitization is no longer enough—true change means re-architecting operating models for velocity, intelligence, and trust at scale. Together, they explore the pitfalls of strategic complacency, the opportunities provided by European regulation, and the immense potential of intelligence layers and wallet technology to redefine how institutions interact with customers.  The discussion moves from strategic leadership to practical use cases—from frictionless onboarding and claims to agentic customer experiences—offering a roadmap for both incumbents and challenger firms looking to thrive in the era of real-time risk and embedded governance. KEY TAKEAWAYS Reflecting on my conversation with Karl Grandl, what became clear is that transformation in financial services isn't just about digitizing legacy systems—it's about fundamentally re-architecting the industry. For decades, institutions like banks and insurers were built for stability, but the pace of change and customer expectation today demands real-time, intelligent, and seamless experiences. Simply layering new digital tools over old processes leads to fragmentation, not progress. We're stepping into the era of frontier firms: organizations powered by intelligence, human-agent collaboration, and embedded governance. As Karl emphasized, automation by itself doesn't mean autonomy or intelligence. Instead, success hinges on evolving operating models and creating trust at scale. Regulatory changes, particularly in Europe—such as the EU AI Act and the introduction of digital identity wallets—are not burdens, but strategic advantages. They force discipline, drive infrastructure modernization, and create opportunities to offer frictionless experiences for 450 million citizens. Karl's insight into customer experience “activation layers” resonated deeply. True transformation is about orchestrating intelligent touchpoints so insurance feels invisible and effortless, yet highly trustworthy, especially at moments of service or claim. This approach preserves the value of brokers and advisors, enhancing their roles as strategic risk partners instead of replacing them. Finally, leadership, not technology, is at the heart of transformation. The ability to articulate a clear vision and quickly demonstrate value is what distinguishes the winners. Real-time governance, compliance by design, and empathetic human engagement are becoming essential to build—and keep—customer trust. The challenge for every executive now is not just to optimize yesterday's operations but to actively build tomorrow's intelligence layer. The frontier is being defined now, and it begins with a leadership mindset ready for structural redesign and velocity. BEST MOMENTS "Automation is not autonomy, efficiency is not intelligence, and digital channels without orchestration create digital fragmentation."  "European regulation is our unfair advantage. It's not just about discipline, it's about infrastructure."  "You have to evolve—from transaction intermediary into a strategic risk advisor, augmented by intelligence that handles routine so you can focus on relationships, empathy, and judgment."  "Governance is about to become the most strategic capability. When compliance agents and financial AI are embedded in every workflow, governance shifts from retrospective reporting to real-time intervention."  "The frontier firm is not defined by how much AI it deploys; it is defined by how intelligently it integrates risk, compliance, capital, and customer experience." — Sabine VanderLinden ABOUT THE GUEST Karl Grandl is often dubbed an “insurance dinosaur,” with over 30 years in the industry spanning Swiss Life, GetSafe, WeFox, and now Miss Moneypenny Technologies. His experience spans product development, distribution, and embedded insurance, as well as scaling tech-driven aggregators across markets.  At Miss Moneypenny, Karl is spearheading the integration of wallet technology and intelligence layers, focusing on frictionless customer interaction and embedding trust and compliance by design.  An advocate for regulation as a strategic advantage and transformation as a leadership imperative, Karl is a sought-after voice for both legacy insurers and challenger MGAs looking to build tomorrow's intelligence-driven operating models.  Connect with him via LinkedIn or at upcoming events such as InsurTech Week and InsurTech Insights in London.

This week Brian Dombrowski is back on the podcast, and we spend a lot of time talking about what actually happens after the plans fall apart—which, if you hunt long enough, is most of the time. We get into his season bouncing between Wisconsin and Illinois, the reality of hunting pressured ground, and why mature bucks have a way of simply disappearing when you think you've got them figured out. We also dig into the growing role of technology—from trail cameras to drone recovery—and where that line sits between being helpful and changing the hunt altogether. More than anything, this conversation is about adapting in real time… learning terrain instead of fighting it… and accepting that success usually comes from covering ground, paying attention to historical sign, and sticking with the process long after confidence starts to fade. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 482 rian wrapped up a strong season, including multiple successful hunts across Wisconsin and Illinois. The guys discuss using a drone for deer recovery and where technology fits ethically in modern hunting. Hunting thick cover highlights how mature bucks can disappear even when you're doing everything right. Scouting, historical sign, and terrain understanding remain the foundation for finding older deer. Rising hunting pressure and out-of-state traffic are changing how deer — and hunters — behave. Trail cameras and data help, but success still comes down to prediction, patience, and experience. The episode reinforces that shared stories, hard lessons, and community are what keep hunting meaningful.  SHOW NOTES AND LINKS: —Truth From The Stand Merch —Check out Tactacam Reveal cell cameras — Save 15% on Hawke Optics code TFTS15  —Save 20% on ASIO GEAR code TRUTH20 —Check out Spartan Forge to map your hunt  —Save on Lathrop And Sons non-typical insoles code TRUTH10 —Check out Faceoff E-Bikes —Waypoint TV Learn more about your ad choices.

In this solo episode, Coleman Ayers breaks down how to evaluate basketball players through the lens of ecological dynamics and the constraints-led approach. Rather than focusing solely on what a player can currently do, Coleman challenges coaches and scouts to look deeper—into an athlete's constraint history, adaptability, mental models, and ability to solve problems in representative environments. This episode is less about how to run practice and more about how to see players clearly.Coleman outlines five key mindset shifts that can transform how coaches analyze talent: understanding environmental, individual, and task constraints; prioritizing adaptability over repeatable technique; identifying scalable traits like shooting through noise and perceiving affordances; decoding mental models and cultural influences; and finally, evaluating athletes in truly representative, game-like environments. If you're serious about recruiting, player development, or simply understanding your athletes at a deeper level, this episode provides a practical framework to sharpen your lens.00:00 Introduction: Evaluating Through an Ecological Lens 04:07 Why Constraint History Matters More Than Current Skill 05:53 Environmental, Individual, and Task Constraints Explained 09:30 Understanding an Athlete's Development Background 13:19 Adaptability vs. Repeatability in Skill Evaluation 15:56 The “Red, Yellow, Green” Framework for Unorthodox Technique 17:28 Shooting Through Noise & Scalable Skill Traits 20:06 Perception, Eye Tracking & Beating the Initial Defender 21:12 Affordances: Seeing Opportunities Before Executing Them 22:46 Decoding Mental Models & Cultural Influences 26:55 Collectivism vs. Individualism & Adaptability Spectrums 28:09 The Problem with On-Air Evaluations 30:29 Representative Environments & Competitive Dynamics 31:35 Manipulating Internal States & Competitive Stress 32:56 Diagnosing Weaknesses Through Game-Like ConstraintsCoaching Resources: https://byanymeanscoaches.com/resourcesBAM Blueprint Book: https://byanymeanscoaches.com/blueprint-bookIf this episode shifted the way you think about evaluating talent, share it with a coach who needs to hear it and leave a review to help us continue pushing the needle forward in modern coaching.

In this episode of Scouting for Growth, Sabine VanderLinden sits down with Manish Shah, President and Chief Product Officer at Majesco, to explore the rapidly changing landscape of insurance.  Together, they examine how AI is shifting the industry from being purely a protector to one that also focuses on prevention and dynamic participation. The conversation covers everything from the persistent protection gap and the urgent need for behavioral—not just technological—transformation in insurance to the practical realities and fears surrounding the implementation of agentic AI systems.  Manish Shah shares actionable insights on overcoming internal resistance, building trust with customers, and the importance of leadership courage. Throughout, listeners will gain an insider's view on how insurance models are transforming and what sets bold, future-ready leaders apart. KEY TAKEAWAYS I was delighted to welcome Manish Shah to explore how the insurance industry is being transformed at its core. Our discussion began with the fundamental premise that insurance is built on trust and a promise of protection—yet today, both are being challenged by shifting customer expectations, legacy systems, and the rapid evolution of AI technologies.  Manish emphasized that closing the protection gap is not merely an issue of customer education but primarily a challenge of product and experience design. If customers do not understand or value our offerings, it's a failure of design, not comprehension. We agreed that the path to genuine transformation must be grounded in a behavioral shift—beyond technology upgrades or business process reengineering. Transformation executives must start by listening deeply to customers, adapting to their evolving needs, and fostering a culture that is not afraid to take bold risks rather than settle for incremental change. The conversation also delved into how AI, when embedded into the core—not bolted on as an afterthought—can help insurers move from process-led to truly human-centered operations. This enables better capacity, more personalized experiences, and the ability to anticipate rather than react to customers' needs. Crucially, Manish Shah articulated the importance of trust, transparency, and auditability in the AI era: true trust is built through consistent, clear, empathetic engagement, supported by AI that augments—not replaces—human judgment. The insurers that will thrive in the next 3-5 years are those who are brave enough to rethink their business models, leverage intelligent, agentic cores, and prioritize behavioral change.  The future belongs to those willing to become active partners in their customers' lives, focused on prevention, participation, and peace of mind. BEST MOMENTS “If our customers don't understand or see the value in the product, then it is a design problem. It's not really a customer problem or an education problem. “Trust is built in small moments, not in any marketing material or strategic deck.”  “If we can actually execute well as an industry, insurance should feel more like a proactive safety net than a just reactive payment mechanism.”  “The brave ones… are those who are willing to rethink their business model and not just the tech stack.”  ABOUT THE GUEST  Manish Shah is the President and Chief Product Officer at Majesco, a leader at the intersection of technology, product strategy, and insurance industry expertise.  With over 30 years in the insurance sector, Manish Shah has been both a witness and a driver of major transformation, from the analog days of the industry to today's AI-driven innovation. He is particularly passionate about embedding intelligence into the foundation of insurance operations—not just talking about AI, but delivering it as an engine of change.  At Majesco, Manish Shah oversees strategy for their cloud-native, intelligent core platform, with a special focus on agentic workflows, operational effectiveness, and preparing insurers for future challenges and opportunities in P&C, Life, Health, and Benefits. If you want to connect with Manish Shah, he encourages open dialogue and learning across the industry.
