Tony chats with Emilio Figueroa about Foresight, the WC Insurtech that's taking the market by storm. It all started from a Risk Management Platform with great promise in lowering WC expenses in a humane way, bringing better results for both carriers and claimants and then it grew into its own MGA all starting in the very difficult California WC space. 

Emilio will be speaking at InsurTech NY on Aug 26th: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/insurtech-ny-the-perennial-core-system-claims-automation-tickets-141641568745

Dominic is a young actuary and a visionary. He gave a fantastic TED Talk about the future of the actuarial professional (and how it can be so much more): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ba5wBGeUBk&t=1s . It has now been watched 25k times which is very impressive for something so insurance specific. You should watch it! And then you should watch this great chat I had with him where we discussed what led to the TED talk, how he designed it and his career advice for other aspiring actuaries.

Unfortunately Tony's video is very choppy on this one, but the audio is perfect. Brett's video is fine too.
