Description: What’s important to you as a broker? What topics would you like more insight into?
Summary: An introduction from our hosts about what insurance brokers, of all shapes and sizes, can expect from the podcast series.
Quote: “We've deliberately focused the podcasts on things that brokers have told us are important to them. We also want to react to what they tell us. So we want to listen to their feedback, and develop topics that they say are going to be important and relevant to them.”
