Profiles in Risk

In this special episode of Profiles in Risk, I host a panel of judges for the upcoming Insurance Nexus Awards to be held on September 12, 2019, in Chicago. We discussed:- Why is it important to recognize excellence in our industry?- There are 4 categories with the word "innovation or innovative" in them. What does innovation mean to you? How did you go about thinking and quantifying it for judging purposes?- How much has pure technology played in "innovation"? How much innovation are you seeing that doesn't necessarily require technology?My panel includes:Dawn LeBlanc, Managing Director of Hartford Insurtech Hub: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dawn-leblanc-innov11/Margaret Resce Milkint, Managing Partner at The Jacobson Group: https://www.linkedin.com/in/margaret-resce-milkint-2599311/Nicole Cook, Managing Director of The Global Insurance Accelerator: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolejunecook/Paul Carroll, Editor in Chief at Insurance Thought Leadership: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-carroll-3a91694/Scott McCormick, President of The Connected Vehicle Trade Association: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-mccormick-391b19/You can download you nominations pack, register to attend and learn more about the event here: https://events.insurancenexus.com/awards/?utm_source=INS+Nerds&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=5087SUBSCRIBE 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 

"Time is worth MORE than Money" - Chris JarvisChris Jarvis is a math nerd, former actuary, a Certified Financial Planner, a million dollar producer, and entrepreneur. In his dealings working for and with Billionaires, Chris came to an important insight: by studying hard and working hard, one can get into the top 1% of earners. But to get beyond that (such as to get into the top 0.1%), studying or working harder is unlikely to move the needle. At this level of earnings, time is another competitor. We all only have 24 hours a day, and in order to move into the super rich, you need to leverage time. In this episode, we discuss what Chris has discovered and wrote and lectured about from his book "6 Secrets to Leveraging Success". We discussed the crystal ceiling, why beige is the worst color and why, if you want to be successful, you will need to be a bit psychotic.CONNECT WITH CHRIS JARVIS: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisjarvis/ Homepage - http://thechrisjarvis.com MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Chris interviewed by Michael Jans - Podcast Link: https://www.agencyrevolution.com/blog/podcast/chris-jarvis-best-selling-author-insurance-expert-and-entrepreneurial-strategist/ Increasing Sales Without Selling Webinar - https://vimeo.com/261162554 Remarkable Tablet - https://remarkable.com/BOOKS RECOMMENDED BY CHRIS:To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee - https://amzn.to/2DqtaTn Success Principals by Jack Canfield - https://amzn.to/2XxJppy 4-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss - https://amzn.to/2XxKGwJ  Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson - https://amzn.to/2XybQ6O  Antifragile by Nassim Taleb - https://amzn.to/2Gql4uY Clifton Strengths Finder - https://amzn.to/2VkedfV 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/niAbGN  Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DmE7MiYouTube: https://goo.gl/1Turar

In insurance, Loss Control is the process where a thorough inspection is done in order to locate potential hazards that could lead or exacerbate a future loss. In this episode of Profiles in Risk, I spoke with Curtis Goldsborough on the topic of Loss Control, insurance inspections and the technology it takes to get it done at reasonable cost.CONNECT WITH CURTIS GOLDSBOROUGH:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/curtis-goldsborough-b62487119/ National Insurance Inspection Services Homepage - https://www.nationalis.com/  MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:International Assoc of Home Inspectors - https://www.nachi.org/ Evernote - https://evernote.com/ Adobe Creative Cloud - https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud.html Slack - https://slack.com/Dropbox - https://www.dropbox.com BOOKS RECOMMENDED BY CURTIS:The Bible - https://amzn.to/2UUJwKK The End of Insurance (As We Know It) - https://amzn.to/2U7CMMl ReWork by Jason Fried - https://amzn.to/2HD8Guw  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/niAbGN  Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DmE7MiYouTube: https://goo.gl/1Turar
