Episode 95: Protect Your Income from Deactivation or Hospitalization with Leah Chasser from Kover.ai

What happens if you are unable to earn because of a deactivation, car accident or hospitalization when you deliver for Grubhub, Doordash, Uber Eats, Instacart or any of these other platforms?

As an independent contractor, you are on your own. There's no backup.

Unless you've created a backup.

Our guest today is Leah Chasser from Kover.AI. Kover is a benefits company for gig economy workers that specializes in income protection. Leah talks to us about the services that Kover offers for delivery contractors and other gig workers.

Leah is also offering a special offer for listeners of the Deliver on Your Business podcast. If you sign up through our affiliate link here at Kover.ai you can get the first month at no cost to you. This gives you a risk free way to check out their services.

In last week's episode, Bryant from LegalRideshare gave a glowing endorsement of Kover. In fact, Kover and LegalRideshare work together to provide attorneys letters to gig companies requesting reinstatement if a driver is deactivated by Grubhub, Doordash, Uber Eats or any of these other gig delivery apps (or rideshare apps).

If you are an independent contractor who relies much at all on your delivery income, you should be providing some form of protection. Kover is one option. There are other things you can look at. One of the most effective things you can do is create your own emergency fund. If you've established a large enough emergency fund, you may not need a service like this.

Personally, I have an emergency fund but also subscribe to Kover. My emergency fund makes me feel comfortable with the mid level package that Kover offers.

Either way, what ever your method is, protect your delivery business.

This week's sponsor

We didn't exactly have a sponsored portion of the episode today. I mentioned above that my link to Kover is an affiliate link. That's a form of sponsored link, in that I can receive commission if their service is purchased, and that helps me keep this website and podcast operating.

If you visit Kover off my affiliate link, Kover will provide the first month of membership to you at no cost to you. It's a great way to check out their services.
