Matt Randall & Maria Goy: Disrupting the Insurance Industry - Founders of Life by Spot

00:00 -  03:29 | Welcome to Bound &amp; Determined℠, Maria Goy! Maria is dialing in from Austin, TX, and Meg is currently in New Orleans! Maria shares more about her decision to move to Austin; sometimes home finds us, after all.03:30 -  05:29 | Maria is a newlywed; she shares more about marrying her husband in what ended up to be the perfect way.05:30 - 09:09 | How do you balance building a new business - and a new relationship? Maria talks about her priorities - and the relationship she keeps with herself.09:10 -  17:29 | We share the lessons we learned from our mothers. Maria shares more about her Korean-American heritage and how that has influenced the career choices she's made. Maria shares more about the strong influence she felt from the former president of New York Life, John Kim.17:30 - 24:20 | Maria shares more about her decision to leave her last corporate role - which was rooted in a better understanding of herself and how she wanted to show up in the world. Even when outwardly "successful," something was still missing.24:21 - 26:59 | So much clarity can come from grief; Maria shares more about a period of sadness that helped her to see more clearly her next steps.27:00 - 29:44 | What does it look like to choose yourself? What are you willing to risk? What are you willing to let go of? 29:45 - 36:29 | Meet Spot, a new alternative to traditional accident insurance, changing the view consumers have on insurance and the way they access it.  When was the last time a buyer of insurance heard from the co-founder of a company asking for feedback? Maria gets it.36:30 - 38:34 | Making insurance approachable helps everyone; it's true that a rising tide lifts all boats.38:35 - 43:13 | Maria leaves us with two pieces of wisdom - one: no judgment, and two: we have earned the right to ask for help. There is such beauty in community.Resources Mentioned:How Will You Measure Your Life by Clayton M.
