In this gripping episode of Fireside America, Ryan Robbins sits down with insurance industry renegade Rick J. Lindsey, the CEO of XINSURANCE and Prime Insurance Company, to expose the hard truth about how America’s insurance system is failing its policyholders. With over four decades in the industry, Rick unpacks what makes him one of the most disruptive and effective figures in high-risk insurance today.
From helicopter ski guides and truckers to high-net-worth homeowners and celebrities like Jessica Simpson, Rick Lindsey has built his career around saying yes to clients the big-box insurance carriers walk away from. He doesn’t just issue policies—he partners with his insureds and goes to war with them when the legal system comes knocking.
In this raw and no-nonsense conversation, you’ll hear:
Why most home, auto, and commercial policies are “cans of corn”—mass-produced, one-size-fits-all products that collapse when you file a serious claim
Why traditional insurance companies hide behind fine print, deductibles, and third-party adjusters
How Rick uses real risk-sharing to align with clients—and why XINSURANCE will fight in court when others fold
The truth behind multi-million-dollar claims, personal guarantees, and the internal dysfunction of most carriers
What it takes to build a $500M insurance company from scratch
Why deductibles are outdated and dangerous for business owners, athletes, entertainers, and real estate investors alike
How the legal system weaponizes weak insurance policies against entrepreneurs—and how to defend yourself
Why buyers need to stop shopping on price and start asking: “Will this partner show up on my worst day?”
Rick also shares behind-the-scenes stories of going to the Supreme Court, refusing to settle frivolous lawsuits, and how he handles over $30 million in active litigation. This episode is a must-watch for business owners, risk managers, and anyone who wants to protect their assets, reputation, and future.
If you’re searching for custom liability insurance, personal risk management, alternative business insurance, or insight from a real insurance CEO—this episode is packed with real-world takeaways.
👉 Learn why XINSURANCE isn’t just another policy—it’s a partnership built for when shit hits the fan.
