 “There has to be a real acceptance of failure for imagination to thrive.” –Dante Disparte

 Today on Spot On Insurance:

What is risk cooperative? Can our heavily regulated insurance industry have room for innovation? The four forces that govern the way you operate an insurance business. Why is regulation and compliance so important? How does ethics and imagination come into play when it comes to compliance? Are regulation and imagination tradeoffs? How ethics applies to insurance businesses. What is the "Broker Credo"? Is it possible to be imaginative, but not lose the regulation, compliance, and ethics?

 Key Takeaway:

You start to really harm your opportunity to grow a company in this business if you don't         anchor it from the very beginning in a platform that is regulated and compliant. The people with whom you trade are your first and last line of defense in this type of industry.
