When I first met Chelsea Thorpe at a Philadelphia Insurance Nerds meetup back in June of 2016, I knew I wanted to interview her for this podcast. Chelsea has an incredible enthusiasm for what she does and is a wonderful role model for young professionals on how to build your career. We spent much of this episode talking about what she does day to day but also how she has gotten to this point in her career. No one can leave this podcast and say that insurance is boring!
