I insure space companies, surgical robots, and fish cannons. Not what you picture when someone says "insurance guy." Here is how I got here and what I have learned protecting the world's most unusual companies.

🚨 BREAKING: Sen. Mike Lee just demanded Leader John Thune “reconvene the Senate NOW, fund DHS in FULL” by passing the House bill “Then pass SAVE America—by making filibustering senators speak.” Don’t stop fighting! 🔥

NEW US BILL LETS YOU PAY TAXES IN BITCOIN AND REMOVES CAPITAL GAINS TAX ON BTC 🔥 BULLISH 🚀

🚨 THE HOUSE JUST SNAPPED — Rep. Burchett OBLITERATES Senate GOP Leadership: "They Planned It... Now We're Headed Home!" Tim Burchett calls it EXACTLY like it is: Thune and the RINO crew left America hanging while the House did the dirty work. Two Americas. One side fights. The other side plays games with your future. Patriots are DONE waiting. The awakening inside the GOP is HERE. This clip is going nuclear — share it everywhere before they bury it! Tag every America First account you know and drop a 🇺🇸 if you stand with the fighters, not the frauds! #GOPBetrayal #TheGreatAwakening

@paolo_scales COWORK

i’ll probably regret leaking this but screw it: full guide on how i used claude cowork to generate 7-figures on linkedin for 24h, i’m sending it to EVERYONE who likes + comments “COWORK” (must be following + RT for priority access)

@MowzaProduction @SoAmericana2 @Art_of_Combat_ @dom_lucre Wrong. Democrats started KKK after losing the civil war. Democrats always been the party of sore losers and taking advantage of others, tearing people and communities down in the name of fairness. Party of treason and traitors. Do your research

@SoAmericana2 @Art_of_Combat_ @dom_lucre Yeah but that was a time before blacks were slaves. Democrats didnt incorporate minorities cause they were illegal. Republicans and democrats back then is very different they what they are now

🔥🚨BREAKING: Nick Cannon has infuriated millions of liberals after announcing that the Democratic Party is “the party of the KKK": "People don’t know that the Democrats are the party of the KKK. People don’t know that the Republicans are the party that freed the slaves."

Every equity crowdfunding raise (Reg CF, Reg A+, Reg D 506c) triggers D&O insurance requirements. Investors expect it. Platforms ask about it. The SEC disclosure rules now reference it. Budget for it before you raise. Not after you get sued.

Accepting a board seat? Ask three things first: 1. Does the company carry D&O insurance? 2. What is the retention (deductible)? 3. Are prior acts covered? If the answer to #1 is no, walk away. Your personal assets are on the line.

Unpopular insurance opinion: Cyber is becoming more important than D&O for early-stage startups. Why? Because a data breach at Series A kills the company. A lawsuit you can fight. A breach you cannot unfight. Get both. But if you can only afford one, start with cyber.

The insurance industry has a $100B AI problem. 76% of insurers adopted generative AI. Only 5-15% see meaningful ROI. The gap? They are buying tools instead of building workflows. The brokers who build will eat the brokers who buy.

If you are a founder raising capital right now, here is what your lawyer probably forgot to mention: D&O insurance is not optional. It is expected. Your investors will ask. Your platform will require it. Your board will need it. Get quoted before you close the round. Not after.

Saturday energy: The best investment you'll ever make isn't in a stock, a startup, or a fund. It's in the people who show up for you when things get hard. Family. Friends. The ones who call you back. Build your portfolio. But build your circle first. Happy Saturday.

BREAKING: Nick Shirley just delivered a HISTORIC speech at CPAC and he made sure they knew the TRUTH. Well worth the watch. Huge props to @nickshirleyy for EVERYTHING that he's done. He even received a STANDING OVATION as he exited. PATRIOT

Governments start wars. Insurers decide when they're over. What industry do you know that has that kind of power?

12 vessels damaged. 7 abandoned. Oil at $126. Hundreds of tankers sitting idle at both ends of the strait. The military campaign to reopen it started March 19th. But ships won't move until insurers say it's safe again.

Everyone thinks bombs closed the Strait of Hormuz. Insurance closed it first. P&I clubs pulled war risk coverage on March 5th. Without it, no shipowner can afford to transit. One underwriting decision grounded more ships than any missile.
