Insurance Gone Wild

When Smart People Get Dumb Insurance


Listen Later

It’s open enrollment chaos and Dennis and Stephanie are in rare form—part parenting therapy (“kids = feral”), part insurance intervention. They roast the industry’s favorite hobby—feelings masquerading as facts—then walk through why “coverage vs. cost” isn’t a slogan, it’s survival. Restaurants learn why a sewer backup can be a $20k cleanup, GCs learn “products-completed” isn’t optional, and everyone learns how to handle the classic “tree limb smashed my tenant’s car” drama without turning a question into a claim. Come for the sarcasm, stay for the free advice your broker should’ve given you.
