In this episode of I spoke with Myranda Elizabeth Joseph. Unlike many RMI students who go into industry after their studies, Myranda finished high school and needed to make money then. She immediately found insurance production satisfying. Still, an itch remained, and Myranda decided to kill two birds with one stone by getting her degree in insurance, while also building up her book. Myranda shows a potential pathway for agency owners who are seeking to perpetuate their sales force. Why not recruit high school graduates who you can then train in-house while also training them in the more academic and technical aspects of insurance. Myranda is exactly the type of person who will become the face of the industry.CONNECT WITH MYRANDA ELIZABETH JOSEPH:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/myranda-elizabeth-joseph-a5263067/  MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Kent State Online Insurance Program - https://www.kent.edu/columbiana/insurance Gamma Iota Sigma: https://gammaiotasigma.org/ Erin Condren Planners: https://amzn.to/2M6QqJj  BOOKS RECOMMENDED BY: Harry Potter Books: https://amzn.to/2AJkt5f Books by Bill Whitley: https://amzn.to/2VS7Hu9Books by Stephen Fry: https://amzn.to/2FuZlmwSUBSCRIBE 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/niAbGN  Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DmE7MiYouTube: https://goo.gl/1Turar 

In this episode of Profiles in Risk, I spoke with Derek Lovrenich & Phil Duncan of InsurEco. Derek will be presenting at the Silicon Valley Insurance Accelerator Blockchain conference on January 29th in Palo Alto. We discussed how companies in the insurance ecosystem should contemplate a technical and business strategy for incorporating blockchain. We went deep down the rabbit hole as I follow Derek and Phil in the oblivion of tokenizing aspects of insurance data. My personal belief is that we haven't even begun to imagine all of the possible solutions blockchain technologies will bring to insurance.The title of Derek's’ workshop is:Creating a Company Blockchain Strategy & Value ChainHands-on exec workshop that guides participants through integrating Blockchain and related ecosystems into the company’s overall Digital Insurance, Product & Partnering Strategy.Register here to get 30% off: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/digital-insurance-leadership-blockchain-smart-insurance-tickets-46683944936?discount=InsNerds30Connect With:Derek Lovrenich - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/blocksmith/ Phil Duncan - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/insuranceblock/ insurEco - https://insureco.io/ 

 In this episode of Profiles in Risk, I spoke with Thomas Jennings, Director of Business Development at AAIS, on his workshop presentation at the Silicon Valley Insurance Accelerator conference on January 29th in Palo Alto. We discussed blockchain (of course) but how this technology may facilitate the sharing of data between parties who may have trust concerns. We discussed how AAIS used design thinking in contemplating their solution for allowing AAIS member companies and the NAIC to share data. We also got starry-eyed about how this technology may transform how we subtly communicate and share information with one another. The title of Thomas' workshop is: Design Thinking for Blockchain Enabled Products & Business ModelsHands-on exec workshop that guides participants through definition, development & validation of a Blockchain enabled application using design thinking and what is required to launch a first POC.Register here to get 30% off: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/digital-insurance-leadership-blockchain-smart-insurance-tickets-46683944936?discount=InsNerds30 CONNECT WITH THOMAS JENNINGS: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-jennings-47b92533/ AAIS Homepage: https://aaisonline.com/ MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Silicon Valley Insurance Accelerator: https://sviaccelerator.com/ SVIA Blockchain Conference on January 29th (Palo Alto):  https://sviaccelerator.com/digital-insurance-leadership-blockchain-smart-insurance-2019-01/ SUBSCRIBE AT:Buzzsprout RSS: https://goo.gl/5K4X3QGoogle Play: https://goo.gl/WMAvW4iTunes: https://goo.gl/7SqwvP Overcast: https://goo.gl/8b4cbD Spotify: https://goo.gl/niAbGN  Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DmE7MiYouTube: https://goo.gl/1Turar
