Heres a selection from my playlist, watchlist and reading list!
🎙️Listen 🎙️
Scaling a business from $60m to $1bn in ARR, quite the journey - this with Harry Stebbings of 20VC with Dan Fougere is a fascinating & insightful listen - tune in here:
It goes without saying, I listen to Matthew Grant, Robin Merttens InsTech podcast without fail each Sunday for what and who is going on in Insurance. This week is flooded with insights (excuse the pun) with Oliver Wing, Chief Scientific Officer at Fathom, along with Caroline Fox from Guy Carpenter, Stefan Wunderlich from Swiss Re Corporate Solutions and Tom Philp, a flood risk consultant from Maximum Information.
I also tune in to PIVOT with Scott Galloway and Kara Swisher each week, as well as Prof G Markets with Ed Elson which I'm really enjoying at the moment.
And then the All-In Podcast weekly show.
