The ability of insureds to get tax benefits for self-insuring exposure solves a lot of problems when they are unable to 1. acquire insurance for their exposure (dangerous product or industry) or 2. are unable to acquire insurance at a reasonable premium (hard market or misunderstood exposure).

Go to <a href="https://iapath.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://iapath.com</a>I've been enamored with captive insurance for most of my insurance career. The ability of insureds to get tax benefits for self-insuring exposure solves a lot of problems when they are unable to 1. acquire insurance for their exposure (dangerous product or industry) or 2. are unable to acquire insurance at a reasonable premium (hard market or misunderstood exposure).

E88 - The Captive Insurance Market With Van Carlson, CEO of Strategic Risk Alternatives

Jeff Arnold

Jeff Arnold is the President of RightSure Insurance Group and the author of the book The Art of The Insurance Deal. Jeff spoke with Tony and me about how he locates, finances and buys insurance agencies. We discussed things that can blow up a deal, how sometimes, purchased agencies do not end up being a good fit and in some cases, those same agencies need to be sold to other buyers that can make them a good fit. Some important considerations when buying an agency are:- is it a good fit?- how should the agency be valued?- how should the price be financed?- what are the responsibilities of the sellers upon the sale?- how do you integrate the newly acquired staff and IT?HOW TO CONNECT WITH JEFFREY ARNOLD:LinkedInRightSure Insurance Group Jeff's Home PageBOOKS:The Art of The Insurance Deal by Jeffrey ArnoldE-Myth Revisited by Michael GerberGood to Great by Jim CollinsNapolean Hill BooksBrian Tracy Books

E100 - Developing Agency Excellence with David Siekman of Agency Performance Partners

Aaron Gordon

"No left turns! No reverse!"Risk management is all about being proactive in the management of risk. Rather than being a victim, risk management allows companies (and individuals) the opportunity to engage, learn and implement strategies that reduce injuries, losses and ultimately the expenses associated with those, including insurance costs.In this episode of Profiles in Risk, I spoke with Aaron Gordon about captives. Captives are a decades-old strategy for companies to take proactive control of their risk management. It is the company putting their money where their mouth is when it comes to their risk and exposure. We talked about which companies should form captives, why, what exposures can be placed into the captive and what it takes operationally to set one up and maintain.CONNECT WITH AARON GORDON: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/aarongordon/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/nyriskadvisor Gordon Companies Homepage - https://gordoncompanies.com/ MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Delaware Captive Insurance Association - https://www.delawarecaptive.orgBOOKS RECOMMENDED BY AARON: Insuring Tomorrow by Insurance Nerds - https://amzn.to/2Y1f6XV The End of Insurance As We Know It by Rob Galbraith - https://amzn.to/2YdquUZ How to Sell When Nobody's Buying by David Lakhani - https://amzn.to/2JS1Dgh Powerful Personal Brands by Ben Baker - https://amzn.to/2XY702o SUBSCRIBE AT:Buzzsprout RSS: http://www.buzzsprout.com/87086Google Play: https://goo.gl/WMAvW4iTunes: https://goo.gl/7SqwvP Overcast: https://goo.gl/8b4cbD Spotify: https://goo.gl/niAbGNStitcher: https://goo.gl/DmE7MiYouTube: https://goo.gl/1Turar

The Wedge production system focuses on the biggest problem for producers...regardless of your product or service, most insurance buyers already have a relationship with an agent/broker and are much more likely than not to be satisfied.

Mike Hubbel

Mike Hubbel is a professor of Risk Management within Temple University's Fox School of Business. The program is often rated as one of the top undergrad/grad risk management &amp; insurance programs in the US. We have written in the past, why a degree program is so valuable and in this episode Mike &amp; I go into some detail about why. Mike, like Zach Finn of Butler University, started his career in insurance and then moved into academia. This is important in that Mike can truly teach real world problems to his students and also prepare them for what they will face day-to-day when they graduate. We discuss the trade-offs of getting a degree versus a designation and the other benefits of learning insurance and risk management from a university.

(Video of this podcast is available on our YouTube channel - link below)In this episode of Profiles in Risk, I spoke with Paul Gaglioti of Diversified Risk Solutions. Paul tries to go the extra mile for his customers. Both in customer experience but also in problem-solving. Paul seeks out tough to cove exposures and finds the capacity to provide his clients with the coverages they need. Paul is at the forefront of creating innovative solutions for his customers who deal in hemp, fracking and product liability. Paul found his mission early on in his career and we discuss how that came to be and a lot more, including a 360 view of his office and view of Manhattan.

Kevin O'Brien

From the outside insurance seems like a monolith. The industry is really an ecosystem though. Products and business models for different lines of business are quite different from one another. Expertise in one line does not mean you have expertise in others, and so insurance professionals must spend an extensive amount of time highly focused in an area.In this episode of Profiles in Risk, I spoke with Kevin O'Brien, President of the Inland Marine Underwriters Association (IMUA). We discussed the benefits of a professional organization for inland marine professionals. Inland marine insurance is highly specialized, requiring its own training, underwriting, production and brokering. The IMUA facilitates all of these for these professionals. CONNECT WITH KEVIN O'BRIEN:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-o-brien-5832703/ IMUA Homepage: https://www.imua.org/ Annual Event: https://www.imua.org/ev_calendar_day.asp?date=5%2F19%2F19&amp;eventid=2 MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:The Beatles White Album: https://amzn.to/2E7WHkA Inland Marine Designation (AMIM): http://bit.ly/2Nru59X BOOKS RECOMMENDED BY KEVIN:The Builders Risk Book by Stephen Coombs: https://amzn.to/2Eclc01 How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie: https://amzn.to/2EtDafA The Hamilton Affair by Elizabeth Cobbs: https://amzn.to/2XlwPKQ Beneath the Scarlett Sky by Mark Sullivan: https://amzn.to/2EtpMIuSUBSCRIBE AT:Buzzsprout RSS: http://www.buzzsprout.com/87086Google Play: https://goo.gl/WMAvW4iTunes: https://goo.gl/7SqwvP Overcast: https://goo.gl/8b4cbD Spotify: https://goo.gl/niAbGNStitcher: https://goo.gl/DmE7MiYouTube: https://goo.gl/1Turar
