I predict Jrue Holiday for Pritchard, Brogdan, and Williams. @wojespn Trade works on many levels.

It's painful, but that's the cost of unhealthy growth. You're better off being a disciplined company from the start and growing at the pace that your company can *healthily* support.

[Jay Grayson @jjgrayson]

This may seem obvious to insurance nerds, but there are only three financial levers that you can pull to grow a carrier in the insurance industry: 1) Operating Leverage, 2) Underwriting Leverage, and 3) Financial Leverage.

[Jay Grayson @jjgrayson]

You'll have to eventually take the pain to raise capital by selling assets, cut costs to improve profitability, or shrink your customer base to reduce underwriting leverage.

@theallinpod will you guys do an update on your research and thinking related to the latest Covid vaccine. Earlier this year, you each questioned if you would ever take it again.

Wouldn’t it be great if your AirPods could cache a minute or two of music in case you temporarily went out of range of Bluetooth?

@mad_ins_agent No downgrade is quiet. It’s painful for the carrier.

@girdley Do you have a mechanism to capture commitments or follow-ups for the next meeting? Human or AI-based?
