In Episode 311 of the FNO: InsureTech Podcast, hosts Lee Boyd and David Prejeant sit down with Wayne Slavin, CEO and Co-founder of Sure, for a conversation that spans embedded insurance, AI, digital distribution, and the future of insurance innovation. What begins with a story about turbulence on a flight quickly evolves into a fascinating discussion about how insurance can become a seamless part of everyday consumer experiences.  Founded in 2015, Sure has built an AI-enabled platform that helps some of the world's largest carriers and consumer brands launch and operate fully digital insurance programs. Today, companies like Toyota, Zillow, and Mastercard leverage the platform to integrate insurance directly into their customer experiences.  Wayne shares his journey from Silicon Valley product development and e-commerce innovation into insurance, explaining how his early experience building consumer technology shaped his belief that insurance should be as easy to access as any other digital transaction.  The conversation also explores Wayne's long-standing interest in AI, dating back more than 16 years, his perspective on where AI creates the most value in insurance, and why the industry's biggest challenge may not be technology at all, but change management.  Whether you're interested in embedded insurance, digital transformation, AI, or simply hearing the founder story behind one of InsureTech's most recognized platforms, this episode delivers valuable insights and bold predictions about where the industry is headed next.  Key Highlights [06:00] Meet Wayne Slavin and Sure Wayne introduces Sure and explains how the company helps carriers and consumer brands launch fully digital insurance programs through a single end-to-end platform.  [08:00] The Visa of Insurance Wayne explains Sure's role as a technology platform, connecting carriers, brands, and consumers without acting as the insurer itself.  [10:00] Why Insurance Needs an End-to-End Ecosystem A discussion on the fragmented nature of insurance technology and why Sure chose to build a unified platform rather than another point solution.  [12:00] The Turbulent Flight That Started It All Wayne shares the origin story behind Sure and how a turbulent flight sparked the idea of making insurance available at the exact moment consumers need it.  [17:00] Making Insurance Invisible Why Wayne believes insurance should become a natural part of other consumer transactions rather than a separate buying experience. [18:00] Embedded Insurance and the Next Distribution Frontier How brands can integrate insurance directly into customer journeys and why Sure focuses on meeting consumers where they already are. [20:00] AI Before It Was Cool Wayne reflects on researching human-in-the-loop AI at Columbia more than 16 years ago and why today's AI revolution is a moment he has anticipated for years.  [22:00] Where AI Delivers Real Value A practical discussion on why AI is creating the biggest gains in speed to market, customer service, claims support, and operational efficiency.  [24:00] Going Live in Days, Not Months How Sure is leveraging AI and automation to dramatically reduce implementation timelines and operational complexity.  [26:00] Learning the Insurance Business Wayne shares how curiosity, study, and starting with simple insurance products helped him navigate an industry he originally knew nothing about. [30:00] AI Adoption Is a Leadership Challenge Why some insurers are embracing AI while others remain hesitant, and how leadership mindset often determines success.  [32:00] The Real Bottleneck: Change Management Wayne argues that technology is no longer the limiting factor. The bigger challenge is changing inherited processes and organizational behavior.  [34:00] The Future of Direct-to-Consumer Insurance A discussion on changing consumer expectations, digital buying experiences, and why convenience matters more than ever.  [39:00] From South Africa to Silicon Valley Wayne reflects on his personal journey, his family's move to the United States, and how those experiences helped shape his entrepreneurial path. [40:00] What's Next for Sure Wayne shares his vision for the future, including making it even easier for large brands to launch insurance businesses with minimal friction. [42:00] Final Thoughts Lee and David reflect on Wayne's unique founder story, deep technology background, and the future opportunities ahead for Sure and embedded insurance.

Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley take a deep dive into DLocal (NASDAQ: DLO), the first Uruguayan unicorn and the emerging markets payment provider for companies like Amazon, Uber, Spotify, Netflix, and many more. DLocal is trading at attractive multiples while growing payment volumes at over 70% and printing cash due to high operating leverage and a high-margin business model. That cash is given back to shareholders in the form of dividends and buybacks. Daniel and Shawn discuss whether the high customer concentration and the declining take rate justify the cheap valuation or whether the market is not understanding the full potential of this emerging market jewel. In the end, Daniel values the business and decides whether DLO deserves a spot in The Intrinsic Value Portfolio. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: (00:00:00) Intro (00:03:01) How DLO became the leading player in emerging markets (00:07:14) What makes DLO's business model stand out (00:19:08) What two megatrends DLO benefits from (00:28:18) Whether there is a race to the bottom with take rates (00:56:10) How DLO compares to Western competition (01:00:30) How DLocal distributes cash to shareholders (01:19:00) Valuation discussion of DLO (01:21:41) Whether DLO is valued attractively (01:23:19) Whether Shawn and Daniel add DLO to the Intrinsic Value Portfolio Disclaimer: Slight discrepancies in the timestamps may occur due to podcast platform differences.

Fixed-income investments are subject to various other risks including changes in credit quality, market valuations, liquidity, prepayments, early redemption, corporate events, tax ramifications, and other factors. Digital currencies [such as bitcoin] are highly volatile and not backed by any central bank or government. Digital currencies lack many of the regulations and consumer protections that legal-tender currencies and regulated securities have.

Cryptocurrency-related products carry a substantial level of risk and are not suitable for all investors. Investments in cryptocurrencies are relatively new, highly speculative, and may be subject to extreme price volatility, illiquidity, and increased risk of loss, including your entire investment in the fund. Spot markets on which cryptocurrencies trade are relatively new and largely unregulated, and therefore, may be more exposed to fraud and security breaches than established, regulated exchanges for other financial assets or instruments. Some cryptocurrency-related products use futures contracts to attempt to duplicate the performance of an investment in cryptocurrency, which may result in unpredictable pricing, higher transaction costs, and performance that fails to track the price of the reference cryptocurrency as intended.

What does it actually take to keep your body healthy through rehearsals, performances, flights, hotels, and the demands of life on the road? Athletic trainer Adam Quigley has supported artists and tours including Post Malone, Lorde, Tyla, Karol G, the Jabbawockeez, 5 Seconds of Summer, plus broadway tours like MJ the Musical and Moulin Rouge, helping performers care for their bodies through the unique physical demands of touring. In this conversation, Adam shares practical strategies for staying healthy on the road while challenging dancers to think of themselves as athletes. We discuss how to build a warm-up that supports the demands of dance, what to pack on tour, navigating time zone changes and travel fatigue, fueling your body while traveling, and why recovery deserves just as much attention as performance. Adam also shares his philosophy of care, explains why movement is medicine, and offers practical advice for preventing small issues from becoming bigger ones. The conversation also explores the physical and mental comedown after tour - something many dancers experience but rarely discuss, despite how important it can be for long-term health and performance. Whether you're touring internationally, teaching on weekends, traveling for work, or simply want to build a longer, healthier dance career, this episode is packed with practical tools to help you take better care of your body.

Pour la plupart des Européens, voyager en Turquie ne nécessite aucun visa. Pour les Turcs, en revanche, il est devenu très compliqué d'obtenir le précieux sésame pour l'espace Schengen. Près de 1,3 million d'entre eux ont fait une demande en 2025. Délais interminables, rendez-vous introuvables, demandes en hausse et refus de plus en plus fréquents : la « crise des visas », comme la qualifie la presse turque, nourrit un sentiment de frustration.  De notre correspondante à Ankara, À Ankara, sur un boulevard de la capitale turque, un bâtiment vitré voit sortir Mehmet Kaan, tout sourire. Il brandit son passeport, un visa pour la Lituanie fraîchement collé à l'intérieur. Cela n'a pas été simple : en deux ans, ce Turc dit avoir essuyé des refus de visas de cinq États européens. « Le motif, c'était qu'ils doutaient que je rentre en Turquie après mon voyage. Là je suis heureux, mais cela a été tellement long et fatigant que je n'en profite pas totalement. Enfin, ça y est, je l'ai », s'exclame-t-il. La façade de verre abrite une entreprise chargée de recueillir les demandes pour 18 des 29 États de l'espace Schengen. Dehors, Mustafa Ege, un badge autour du cou, attend. Depuis cinq ans, il aide des Turcs à préparer leur dossier ; un service qu'il facture 250 euros en moyenne. Selon lui, ses clients cherchent à mettre toutes les chances de leur côté, tant les refus ont augmenté. « C'est en partie dû à la forte hausse du nombre de demandes, mais aussi à des procédures plus strictes. Les consulats demandent beaucoup plus de justificatifs qu'avant. Par exemple, ils regardent de près l'historique des voyages. Si vous demandez un premier visa sans avoir jamais voyagé, je dirais que vous avez 60% de chances de réussite. Ils ont trop peur que vous demandiez l'asile chez eux », explique-t-il. « Un processus un peu démoralisant » Selon les données de la Commission européenne, le taux de refus pour les demandes de visas déposées en Turquie est passé d'un peu moins de 10% en 2019 à 14,6% en 2025. Par comparaison, seules 4% des dossiers émanant de Chine, premier demandeur devant la Turquie, ont été refusés. Ce phénomène s'explique par plusieurs facteurs interdépendants : la hausse des demandes de visas depuis la Turquie – +38% en six ans -, l'augmentation des demandes d'asile de citoyens turcs dans l'Union européenne, et la dégradation de la situation économique en Turquie. La chute du pouvoir d'achat, due à une très forte inflation, et la dépréciation de la livre turque par rapport à l'euro rendent les dossiers turcs moins solides, poussant les consulats à être plus pointilleux. Cela crée beaucoup de frustrations. « Regardez mon dossier ! Il fait quoi, 100 pages », lance Sedef en montrant les documents préparés pour obtenir un visa. « Oh plus, je pense ! », répond sa fille Halide. Toutes deux espèrent décrocher un visa pour dix jours de vacances au Danemark. « Le processus est un peu démoralisant. Il y a 20-25 ans, on voyageait beaucoup plus facilement. C'est éprouvant pour les Turcs comme nous qui travaillons et aimons notre pays, et qui voulons juste prendre un peu de vacances en Europe de temps en temps », déplore Sedef. Aux conditions plus strictes s'ajoutent des rendez-vous devenus presque introuvables pour certains États de l'espace Schengen. La raison ? La prolifération d'intermédiaires qui utilisent des programmes informatiques pour accaparer les créneaux et les revendre ensuite. Entre les frais de l'agence de conseils et le coût du visa, Sedef estime avoir déboursé l'équivalent de 460 euros, avant même de savoir si son visa sera accordé. Désormais, elle attend la réponse du Danemark. « D'ici deux mois », lui a-t-on dit. À lire aussiLa Turquie demande d'intégrer les structures européennes de défense, malgré les réticences de l'UE

etoro customers are "definitely moving away from crypto," according to the company's founder and chief executive, Yoni Assia. After more than a decade at the forefront of digital assets, Assia says customers are increasingly shifting towards mainstream investing and cash savings, as etoro expands beyond its trading platform into broader financial services. The company, which manages around $20 billion in customer assets for more than 40 million registered users, is pursuing a UK banking licence, launching a Visa debit card and expanding into everyday banking services.Assia also discusses how etoro balances that expansion with its continued offering of cryptocurrency trading. Alongside ISAs and long-term savings products, the platform continues to offer access to crypto assets. Asked whether it is appropriate to offer highly speculative crypto products alongside mainstream savings, Assia said he believes customers should have choice, while acknowledging that the crypto market is "a much less regulated" and "much riskier" ecosystem than traditional capital markets.The conversation also covers the growth of meme coins. Assia says he bought Donald Trump's cryptocurrency after it was listed on etoro. Asked whether he had made or lost money on the investment, he said he had not checked. Assia also highlighted the scale of the market, noting that while there are around 40,000 publicly listed companies worldwide, roughly 40,000 new meme coins are created every day on the Solana blockchain. He contrasted the level of regulation and disclosure required of listed companies with that of meme coins.Artificial intelligence is another topic discussed in the interview. Assia says etoro rebuilt its new app in six months using code written entirely by AI and believes the company's AI assistant is already capable of providing financial guidance that rivals many human advisers. He also discusses how AI could change the way people manage their money and how established financial institutions may need to adapt.The interview concludes with Assia's view of longer-term changes in financial services, including what he describes as a $140 trillion intergenerational transfer of wealth from baby boomers to younger generations. He explains why he believes younger investors will increasingly use AI-powered financial platforms, while also moving towards more traditional savings and investment products as they accumulate wealth.Presenter: Sean Farrington Producer: Olie D'Albertanson Editor: Henry Jones00:00 Introduction 02:00 The shift from crypto to banking 06:40 The rebrand and building an entire app with AI 09:00 Customers moving away from crypto and the boom-bust cycle 13:30 Bitcoin, quantum computing and the AI threat 17:28 Trump's meme coin and the losses suffered by investors 21:52 The copy trading transparency problem 24:30 The cost of living and whether ordinary people can afford risk 27:30 AI versus the traditional financial adviser 31:40 The $140 trillion generational wealth transfer

ICE agents left a man handcuffed at Harry Reid International Airport after walking away from an attempted arrest, and the incident went viral. It's also prompting new scrutiny of Gov. Lombardo's claim at a closed-door event that his personal relationship with Trump is the only thing keeping ICE off the Las Vegas Strip. Then, Nevada still doesn't have a permanently confirmed federal prosecutor, and the delay appears anything but accidental. Finally, Las Vegas rents have risen nearly 20 percent faster than Los Angeles since 2019, while that's shocking, it may not tell the whole story.
