Exploring the Intersection of Hobbies and Insurance Careers

Historically, hobbies were thought of as both frivolous and productive. It is worth noting, however, that some major advances happened as the result of hobbyists. Consider Comet Hale-Bopp, which was discovered in 1995 by two amateur astronomers. On this episode of Insurance Speak, we capitalize on Insurance Careers Month to talk with three insurance executives about the ways in which their hobbies inform their careers. With an eye toward illuminating the types of skills and interests that can translate well to the insurance world, Grace Global Capital Managing Director Grace Vandecruze; PAK Programs Risk Management Specialist Justin Guerra; and INSTANDA CEO and Co-Founder Tim Hardcastle each discuss their personal passions and how those preoccupations advance their professional lives.
