This is a level-up podcast

This is a level-up podcast. What do I mean by that? You’re smart. You know lots of things, some of them incredibly deeply, some of them at a more surface level. Christopher and his guests take the knowledge you have and show you, through what they do with their own knowledge and resources, what comes next. What good processes look like, and the kind of questions that you can ask of yourself and your organization to build the best version of whatever it is you are doing. All related to a diverse set of topics that touch the world of insurance. And so you level-up. You gain experience and see new and interesting ways to apply the skills you have.

The cherry on top is Christopher’s references. “The financial version of Indiana Jones” reference in the last episode (9/22/20) was awesome.
