Nick interviews the CEO of Livegenic in our first podcast interview. They discuss life as a startup, their value proposition, and about the startup scene in Philadelphia.

The nerds discuss our newest coauthor Taryn and her moving story about finding a home in insurance that allows her to be herself and Nick's article about the importance of sales skills. Then they discuss #InsurTech. Insurance included when you a car or even another product. Carriers transitioning to risk managers as opposed to claims payers. Transition from personal liability to product liability. The 2016 Buffett Letter to the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway. Tony confesses the REAL reason we brought Nick into the team.

In Episode One your hosts introduce themselves, tell their story and talk about InsNerds. Nick talked about how the book Against the Gods got him hooked on insurance.
