In this episode, Adam Torres and Galen Hair, Founder & Partner at Insurance Claim HQ, talk about how Hurricane Katrina sparked his path into disaster recovery, the nonprofit work that taught him the insurance system from the inside, and why his company is focused on restoring families to pre-disaster life. Galen also shares the lessons of launching a mission-driven business in 2020—only to face a Category 5 hurricane weeks later—and what true recovery looks like for the communities they serve.
