The Future of Insurance with Bryan Falchuk

We hear a lot about the hurdles and challenges that insurers face when they’re looking to innovate.

In his new book “The Future of Insurance:  From Disruption to Evolution”, Bryan Falchuk dives right into this topic.

He looks at seven different insurers.  The adversity they faced.  The planning and reiterations they took.  And ultimately the success they saw when they made changes with their people, processes and products.

This should be required reading for any one in or around the insurance space.  Be sure to order your copy today!

Agents, Can You Help Us…Again!?

I don’t think there’s a question that insurance agents are cornerstones of our communities. 

During the good times.  And the bad.

You could see a great example of this in April of 2019.  Agents across the country joined a trend to help bring awareness during Distracted Driver Awareness month.

Now I’ve been seeing some troubling data about auto accidents during this Covid-19 World.  Things are going in the wrong direction.

So that’s why I thought of no better group to help our communities than the insurance agents across the country. 

This video is a bit of an ask to my agent friends.  But it’s also an ask to you. 

Please spread the word about this, because this is preventable.

Should COVID-19 Claims Be Paid By Insurance?

There is no doubt about the major impact the coronavirus (COVID-19) is having on every aspect of our lives. 

And there is still no vaccine for our insurance lives either.  From hearing about what is covered.  What’s not covered?

What should be covered?

This last one has popped up more frequently.  Because of proposed legislation at both the state and federal level.

We’ve seen similar instances relating to weather-related catastrophic events.  But should it have happened then?  Should it happen now?

We need to understand the full impact, before these major decisions can be made.

Coronavirus Got Me!

Do you think the media is overreacting and blowing this out of proportion?

Do you think we’re not taking this serious enough?

It really doesn’t matter which side you’re on, the coronavirus (COVID-19) is impacting us.

Up until last week I would say I was in the camp of thinking we’re all overreacting.  Especially after reading an article clarifying fatality and infection rates.

But then PLRB was cancelled.  I had to rearrange my travel schedule and plans.  Even more so, think of what the conference organizers have to go through.

Sure this was the first insurance conference that was a victim of coronavirus.  But I don’t think it will be the last.

Who’s Going to DC?

No this is not going to be a political article to get Tony fired up.  I’m talking about the 2020 PLRB Claims Conference.

PLRB has always been a special conference to me.  I started attending way back when I was an adjuster.  Not to mention that the first insurance videos I ever released was about PLRB.

But that’s not why it’s special.  PLRB is special because of the large amount of Claims professionals there.  In all different roles.  Over a hundred educational sessions.  Limitless networking opportunities. And world class speakers.

2020 is the year I return to the conference and I hope to see you there!
