Jeff and Donnie sit down with Tyler Brown from Markel Group to explore the values behind one of America’s most admired companies. Tyler, a member of Markel’s investment team and its head of investor relations, shares how the company’s principles—rooted in a simple yet powerful 1986 creed—guide its decisions, long-term thinking, and focus on community. From Markel’s origins in 1930 to its evolution into a diversified global holding company, you’ll learn how a small specialty insurer built an ecosystem of enduring and resilient value creation. Plus, Tyler discusses the Markel Reunion, an annual gathering that welcomes thousands of investors from around the world to Richmond, Virginia— a link to the event is in the episode description.
