The world of insurance is a grey area for many people in more ways than one, so allow Sam White to inject some colour to the proceedings...

Setting up in business following a chain of life-changing events, Sam now presides over two successful insurance companies in the UK and Australia who are explicitly putting the consumer at the heart of their proposition.

But, as is so often the case, the entrepreneurial journey has been far from straightforward.

In a thought-provoking and inspirational episode, Sam discusses why she 'fired' herself as CEO of Freedom Services, the dilemma of protecting people versus saving the business, and the chronic lack of investment in female founders despite being a safer financial bet. And she has some powerful views on the future of the insurance industry, and how businesses need to return to being run by people - for people.

Presented by Andrew Parsonage, with expert analysis and input from Ollie Collard and Samantha Miles.
