Adjusting to 6 Figures

Insurance adjusting work is heavily reliant on and influenced by weather events. This is why it is so important to discuss climate change. The discussion within the Adjuster community is extremely politicized, but this week's episode keeps a non-partisan tone to share the facts and what this means for you as an Adjuster. Jeremy Rettig brings on fellow podcast host, Ethan Brown, to discuss the reality of what we are living through, what we can expect moving forward, and what we can do to make a difference. The two cover everything from solar power to flat earth to Netflix's Don't Look Up. 

Listening to Ethan Brown is the most fun you’ve ever going to have learning about environmental issues. Ethan hosts the PBS podcast The Sweaty Penguin, a comedy-style podcast that cuts through the noise and the doom-and-gloom of the climate conversation. Sometimes, climate change IS a laughing matter.     What You Will Learn:

• What do these correlated extreme weather events mean
• The importance of understanding both sides of the environmental issue
• Having constructive conversations about climate with those who disagree with your perspective
• Could you really set off a missile to stop a natural disaster
